Everybody needs a place to vent, especially when it comes to airline travels. And as more people hit the roads this Thanksgiving, FlightsFromHell.com might be the right anecdote to travel frustrations.

Judging by the stories submitted, people have a lot to wail about on the Web site. It's not just lost luggage and crying babies. The tales of woe cover nasty body odor, couples who make out like they're in the back row of a movie theater, and overheard juicy conversations, including a marriage that breaks up over a just-revealed affair.

My favorite falls into the "weird people category" including this gem of a story:

This person - of a "Cro-Magnon" or "Neanderthal" appearance - was soaked in perspiration and was wearing a body shirt (you know, the type with an open armpit that almost comes down to the waist), a pair of what once had been white running shorts, and filthy sneakers with, of course, no socks. As it appeared the only available seat was next to me, my stomach fell.

The New York Times ran a story about Gregg Rottler, the Tampa, Fla., man behind FlightsFromHell. He started the site over the summer, as flight cancellations and lost luggage reached new highs.

He also has a site for dining disasters: DinnersFromHell.com.

Rottler, who works for the state of Florida health department, told me he started the site because he thought it would be both entertaining and therapeutic for people.

"People want to vent, and maybe a lot of people want to see their stories (published)," he told me. "It's a way for them to share their experiences."
