Scott and SadieDo you ever just hang out in the bathroom at work for a while? Don’t try it on your next flight . . .
A 20-year-old Orthodox Jewish man from New Jersey is suing United Airlines. He claims a pilot YANKED him out of a bathroom for taking too long. It happened January 28th while flying home from a trip to Mexico with a friend.
A flight attendant woke his friend up from a nap and told him to go check on him, because he’d been in the bathroom for 20 minutes.
The guy yelled through the door that he was fine, just CONSTIPATED. So they left him alone. But then a pilot got involved after he still hadn’t come out 10 minutes later. So, 30 minutes total.
According to the lawsuit, the pilot started screaming and demanding him to come out immediately . . . then BROKE the lock and opened the door on him.
The guy’s pants were down around his ankles with his junk on full display. He says the pilot, flight attendants, and several passengers all got a good view of it.
He and his friend got handcuffed and escorted off the plane when it landed in Houston. Airport cops put them in holding cells but eventually released them without filing charges.
They’re both suing, claiming they were treated unfairly. They also claim the pilot talked about them being Jewish and made antisemitic remarks.
A jury will decide if they deserve to get paid or not. And if so, how much. United declined to comment on the lawsuit.
