Plane passenger urinates on floor after being denied bathroom in odd row

A plane passenger was caught on video urinating in a corner of the plane, directly in front of what appeared to be Spirit Airlines flight attendants.

The passenger's actions were triggered by the alleged denial of access to the restroom during the flight, according to airlive.net.

In the disturbing video footage, the woman can be heard shouting at the crew, "I need to piss two hours, you tell me you cannot — you close the doors." Frustrated and apparently unable to hold it any longer, she squats down and relieves herself on the floor of the aircraft.

Amid the shocking scene, a flight attendant can be heard telling the woman: "Say hello to the camera." Undeterred, the passenger continues her outburst, placing the blame on the crew for not allowing her to use the toilet.

She said: "The plane is stopped. ... I cannot hold the pee!" and further insists that the crew member should take responsibility for the situation. It is unclear whether the plane was taking off or landing, which would explain why the toilets were closed.

In response to the woman's action, the flight attendant advises her to drink water, cruelly suggesting "because your pee smells disgusting".

The shocking video clip, which was posted on Friday, ends with the woman pulling up her pants and walking away after the impromptu incident. However, the specific flight and airline involved were not mentioned in the report, and efforts to obtain a comment from Spirit Airlines were initially unsuccessful.

But as soon as the plane enters an active taxiway, everyone must remain in their seats. Flight attendants say that the best time to use the airplane restroom is immediately after the captain turns off the fasten seatbelt sign and before drink service begins.

This is because in the event that pilots are forced to make a sudden hard landing, anyone in the toilet could get hurt, as there are no seat belts which would keep the passenger in place

This is not the first time such an incident has occurred on a plane. In 2018, a passenger on Wizz Air resorted to urinating in the food galley after being denied access to the lavatory while the plane was being refuelled.

Public reactions to such incidents have ranged from shock to disappointment, with many expressing concern over the lack of self-control displayed by some passengers.
