This plane passenger pissed off a lot of people.

 

United Airlines has banned a man from flying on their aircraft for allegedly urinating on another passenger.

 

Jerome Gutierrez was traveling in business class on UA Flight 189 from San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to Manila, Philippines, on Dec. 27 when a man got up from his seat about four hours into the flight and began peeing on him, his stepdaughter said.

 

“He was asleep and buckled in and was surprised when he looked at the man and thought he was dreaming,” Nicole Cornell, Gutierrez’s stepdaughter, told SFGATE.

 

After the pee perp finished his business, “Jerome realized he was soaked from his stomach down [to his feet] in that man’s urine.”

 

The Bay Area resident remained sitting in his “soaked” clothes for eight more hours after the incident.

 

United Airlines flight attendants asked Gutierrez “not to approach the man in fear that there would be a confrontation and he would become violent,” Cornell shared.

 

“They put the needs of the airline before my stepdad‘s health,” Cornell exclaimed. “I am so disgusted and in shock with how United Airlines handled this! That is a biohazard, and the plane should’ve turned around to address this issue.”

 

She added that the man who urinated on her stepfather apologized and begged him “not to press charges.”

 

A spokesperson for United Airlines confirmed to The Post that there was “a passenger disturbance” on the flight in question and that the passenger had been “banned.”

 

“On December 28 we asked police to meet our flight when it arrived in Manila to address a passenger disturbance. We have banned this passenger,” they said.

AH: No wonder I have no desire to fly anywhere.

Why did the perp do it?

POOPING MAY BE GOOD FOR YOUR BRAIN

Pooping is good for your brain: Using the toilet before mental tests improves performance, according to new study

When preparing for a big test or athletic event, try to take a load off.

 

A new, small study found that triathletes performed better on a cognitive test that simulates the experience of rapid decision-making in sports when they pooped beforehand.

 

The 13 participants took the Stroop test three times a week apart — the first time without pooping beforehand, the second time an hour after going to the bathroom and the third time with the help of a magnesium oxide laxative.

 

“Stroop test performance was improved in all (100%, 13/13) of the participants after magnesium-induced defecation and most (69%, 9/13) of the participants after non-magnesium-induced defecation,” the international team of researchers wrote in the new issue of the Sports Medicine and Health Science journal.

 

In the Stroop test, participants were presented with color words printed in different ink colors (like “red” written in green ink) and told to quickly name the color.

 

Researchers from the Institute for Systems Biology say a fiber-rich diet, adequate hydration and regular exercise are key to reaching the "Goldilocks" zone of pooping once or twice a day.

 

The study authors used the results to measure their selective attention and mental judgment.

 

The researchers previously found that going No. 2 greatly improved cycling performance and increased blood supply to the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain where decisions are made.

 

They used this study to show that pooping gives your body more energy to spend on cognition and exercise intensity.

 

They linked better performance on the Stroop test to a significant increase in oxygen consumption in the area below the belly button post-poop. There was less of an effect on the prefrontal brain.

 

The researchers theorized that the enteric nervous system surrounding the rectum may play a role in immediate cognitive tasks by sending signals to the brain based on conditions in the gut. This describes what’s commonly known as a “gut feeling.”

 

But “the most striking finding” is the “unequivocal improvement” of the participants who took the magnesium supplement to poop. Magnesium oxide, which is available over the counter in tablets or powder, draws water into the intestines, softening stool and relieving constipation.

 

“Magnesium by itself might independently influence the interaction between the rectum and the brain,” the study authors wrote. “This observation aligns with a previous study where magnesium consumption over a period of six weeks significantly alleviated depressive symptoms.”

 

The researchers recommend pooping 60 to 90 minutes before the big event for better, faster and smarter decision-making.

 

They are calling for larger experiments to confirm their findings and more research into how the composition of our gut bacteria, our hunger level and the timing of our meals affect mental clarity.

 

The connection between the rectum and brain was highlighted in a 2023 study that linked chronic constipation — defined as having bowel movements every three days or more — to poorer cognitive function.

 

If you’re having trouble answering the call of nature, experts suggest a diet that’s high in fiber and polyphenol foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, plenty of water every day and regular exercise.

MAKING THIS ANIMAL SOUND ON THE TOILET CAN ACTUALLY HELP YOU POOP

Making this animal sound on the toilet can actually help you poop — a childhood habit works too

Straining on the toilet can lead to hemorrhoids, which are swollen, inflamed veins around the anus or lower rectum. Here, a woman holds a toilet paper roll while sitting on a toilet with her jeans around her knees.

 

You can breathe easy with this

pooping pointer.

 

“If you’re struggling with constipation and straining, then this is one pooping hack that actually works,”

 

Dr. Karan Rangarajan, also known as Dr. Karan Raj, recently said on TikTok.

 

Rangarajan suggests three “gentler” forms of the Valsalva maneuver, a breathing exercise that involves forcefully exhaling while your mouth and nose are closed, increasing pressure within the chest and abdomen. The extra intra-abdominal pressure helps stool move through the colon.

 

“You’re controlling the exhalation phase of breathing, which activates your vagus nerve,” Rangarajan explained. “This means more wave-like contractions of your intestines and a good poop coming to a toilet near you.”

 

The vagus nerve, which is the longest cranial nerve, plays a crucial role in vital functions like breathing, heart rate and digestion.

 

The nerve is also the key component in the gut-brain axis, the complicated network of nerves that link the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system.

 

Rangarajan said that while the three diaphragmatic breathing techniques sound “silly,” they can strengthen the gut-brain connection.

 

“This helps you avoid straining by making sure your pelvic floor muscles are more coordinated, both in contraction and relaxation,” Rangarajan added. “And your rectum will thank you later when you don’t get hemorrhoids.”

 

Hemorrhoids are swollen, inflamed veins around the anus or lower rectum. They can manifest as bleeding, itching and pain and signal constipation, diarrhea, straining during bowel movements and sitting on the toilet for lengthy periods.

 

After Kelly Peterson, a pelvic, visceral and orthopedic physical therapist known as “the belly whisperer,” noted that blowing bubbles can help you poop without straining or pushing, Rangarajan said pretending to blow bubbles or blow out a candle or making an elongated moo that sounds like a “horny cow” should do the trick.

 

“I’m surprised this isn’t common knowledge,” Rangarajan told his 5.3 million TikTok followers.

 

Making an elongated moo that sounds like a "horny cow" can help you poop. Here, a brown and white cow with a yellow tag on its right ear moos.

 

The TikTok users were udderly divided in the comments.

 

“Tried the moo sound. Not a great option at the office bathrooms,” one person penned.

 

“Tried this trick this morning and it actually worked! No more straining for me. Who knew blowing bubbles could be so helpful?” another shared.

 

“Blowing your nose while sitting on the toilet does the same thing too,” a third advised.

SABRENA CARPENTER FANS CLAIM A WOMAN URINATED ON THE FLOOR AT CONCERT

Sabrina Carpenter Fans Claim a Woman Urinated in the Crowd at Concert: ‘I Got Peed on in the Pit’

By Charlotte Phillipp  Published on November 10, 2024 06:34PM EST

 

A Sabrina Carpenter fan left quite an impression at a recent tour stop!

 

On Saturday, Nov. 9, fans who attended the 25-year-old “Taste” singer's San Francisco concert at the Chase Center alleged on social media that a woman watching the show from the 18,000-seat arena's floor “squatted down” and urinated on the concrete floor.

 

In one TikTok video, a concertgoer shows off a photo of the alleged puddle of urine on the floor as the crowd parted to make way for the mess.

 

"Imagine you are just patiently waiting for sweet baby angel Sabrina to come out on stage when all of the sudden [a] random girl squats down, takes off her underwear and pees all over the floor," the concertgoer wrote.

 

"At least the crowd had a good sense of humor about it after it was cleaned up…😭," she captioned the TikTok, which included photos of concertgoers posing with text on their phones reading: “I GOT PEED ON IN THE PIT TO SEE SABRINA.”

 

The TikTok user also alleged in a comment that the woman who urinated was kicked out from the show. "I have a video of her standing on the puddle and then security making her leave," she claimed.

 

Another TikTok shared by a concert attendee included an image of a Chase Center staff member wearing gloves and wielding a mop.

 

Representatives for the Chase Center did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Sunday, Nov. 10.

 

Despite the alleged pee incident in San Francisco, Carpenter has had an exciting week due to the Nov. 8 Grammy nominations.

 

Carpenter earned six Grammy nominations, including in the big four categories: album of the year (Short n' Sweet), best new artist, song of the year nod ("Please Please Please”) and record of the year (“Espresso”). Her album also nabbed a nod for best pop vocal album, while “Espresso” also received a nom for best pop solo performance.

 

The “Bed Chem” singer shared videos on Instagram showing her tearful reactions to the nominations from her tour bus. As the announcement for best pop solo performance nominees kicked off with Beyoncé and Carpenter, the musician and her friends screamed and clapped.

 

“Beyoncé and Sabrina Carpenter!” she yelled.

 

Elsewhere in the reaction videos, Carpenter said, “I don’t know how that’s possible,” and cried as her friends hugged her.

 

“Us on the tour bus this morning take a shot every time we scream like fr headphone warning,” the singer captioned the post. “This is the first year I’ve watched the live stream where I heard my name! I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t dreamt about this day my whole life so I am filled with gratitude - Thank you @recordingacademy :’)).”

Have you ever considered how access to proper sanitation affects health, dignity and the environment?

 

In a groundbreaking move, the pioneering water and housing products company LIXIL secured its position as the first commercial license partner for the Generation 2 Reinvented Toilet (G2RT). This innovative off-grid toilet, developed in collaboration with Georgia Tech, is set to revolutionize sanitation practices worldwide. With billions of people lacking access to safe sanitation facilities, the G2RT offers a promising solution that could transform lives and communities.

 

What makes the G2RT special?

 

The G2RT is not your average toilet. It operates independently of traditional infrastructure, treating waste directly at the source. This remarkable technology eliminates the need for connection to sanitation grids or septic systems. The G2RT transforms solid waste into safe, compostable dry solids through high heat and pressure while purifying and recycling liquid waste for flushing. Notably, the process also kills harmful pathogens, significantly reducing the spread of waterborne diseases.

 

The journey to commercialization

 

LIXIL is moving swiftly to prepare for commercialization. With the ink barely dry on their commercial license, the company is already gearing up for the next phase. They are actively refining the technology to ensure that it is suitable for both private and public-sector use. LIXIL aims to have the G2RT market-ready within the next three to five years. This innovation has the potential to benefit the 3.5 billion people worldwide who currently lack access to safely managed sanitation services.

 

Why this matters

 

The G2RT represents more than just a toilet; it serves as a solution to a global crisis. By preventing water contamination, it reduces the risk of diseases like cholera and dysentery while offering significant savings in construction and installation costs. Furthermore, it brings sanitation to communities where traditional infrastructure is not feasible.

 

Kurt's key takeaways

 

By transforming a basic necessity into an advanced, self-contained appliance, LIXIL is not only innovating in toilet technology but also paving the way for improved public health, reduced environmental impact and enhanced quality of life for billions. The next few years will be crucial as LIXIL works to bring this game-changing technology to market, potentially ushering in a new era of sanitation accessibility worldwide.
