It was the worst seat downgrade ever.
A person named Brent had a very crappy flight after getting trapped in an airplane lavatory for 35 minutes — before eventually getting rescued by the pilot.
His wife detailed his unlucky outhouse arrest in a Reddit post retreating online.
“Don’t ask me who was flying the plane,” the unnamed woman captioned the post describing the incident, which occurred on a Delta Airlines flight from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Latest Orleans, Louisiana.
The trip had reportedly been going swimmingly until her hubby, 34, disappeared to the lavatory for a very long time, leaving her with their two kids, aged 2 and 4.
“After five minutes, I wondered what was occurring,” said the wife. She even joked that he was taking a “much-needed” respite from the kiddies’ “whiney demands and frequent tantrums.”
She realized it was no goof one other five minutes later when the flight attendant informed them that somebody was trapped in the lavatory.
“The door is jammed, and someone is stuck in there,” they said, per the post, to which she replied, “I feel that’s my husband!”
The distraught woman subsequently turned her attention to the rear of the aircraft, where two stewardesses were “yanking the lavatory door handle” in an try to free her soulmate from his inflight imprisonment
At one point, they even recruited a male passenger who gave the door his “damnedest” — but to no avail.
By that point, the poor passenger had been stuck in his “3½-by-5-foot pee and poop box” for nearly half an hour, per the post.
That’s when the pilot got here to Brent’s rescue.
“I feel they might have needed his [the pilot’s] permission to potentially damage the door to get Brent out,” the Redditor revealed. “The pilot was really giving it his all.”
An accompanying video, filmed by a fellow passenger, shows the flyboy tenaciously twiddling with the latch and yanking on the door handle as crewmembers and other flyers look on.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t until Brent “kicked the hell out of the door” while the pilot was pulling that he finally made his escape — 35 minutes after initially entering the lofty loo.
This lavatory layover may not seem to be a picnic. Nevertheless, the poster said she was just glad he didn’t have their 4-year-old with him and that it wasn’t a senior citizen, child or person with claustrophobia or germaphobia who was trapped as an alternative.
Unfortunately, customer support didn’t refund the couple for his or her “terrible” flight, per the post.
The Redditariat had a field day with their mile-high mishap.
“Feels like a s–tty situation,” quipped one wit, while one other wrote, “I assumed they’d finally quit and just tell him to be seated during landing.”
“Plot twist: Brent was holding the door closed from the opposite side just attempting to get a couple of more minutes away from his wife Karen,” joked a 3rd.
As for her concern over who was piloting the plane within the flyboy’s stead, many Redditors accurately identified that there may be multiple pilot on any given flight.
Others reprimanded the poster for demanding a refund, which they deemed a bit excessive.
Indeed, the ordeal could’ve been quite a bit worse: He could’ve been trapped there for the whole flight like this poor fellow on a SpiceJet flight last month.
