A female member of crew who was made to clean a male passenger after he used the bathroom on a recent flight from Los Angeles to Taiwan has spoken out about how this experience traumatized her. Writing about her account of the upsetting incident via social media platform Instagram, she said, “I feel dirty.”
A female member of cabin crew who was made to clean a male passenger after he used the bathroom on a recent flight from Los Angeles to Taiwan has spoken out about how the experience traumatized her, Taiwan English News reports.
The incident involved a passenger who has been described by the outlet as being “an old, white, American man.” The man, who was reportedly well over 400lbs in weight, is said to have made “unreasonable requests” of the plane’s cabin crew.
At one point during the course of the flight, he reportedly requested assistance from crew in order to not only get to the toilet, but in order to clean himself after using the lavatory. The passenger explained that his right hand was broken and that, as he had recently had surgery on it, he would not be able to do this himself.
The man – who had to be taken by crew to the business class toilets as he would not fit in the economy facilities – is said to have summoned staff in a half-dressed state and insisted that the crew assist him.
An unnamed female member of crew is said to have been upset at being exposed to the man’s genitalia.
The outlet reported that she told the man, “This is really too much. The cabin crew are all female, and we don’t have a male team member. No one can help you,” to which he is said to have replied, “You promised to help me!”
The member of cabin crew did eventually assist the man and relayed her account of her upsetting experience via Instagram, saying, “I feel dirty.”

I'm tramatized just reading about this. j/k I feel bad for the FA, I can sit here and say I'd tell the airline 'I quit.' but itrs not that easy for most people who need their jobs.
The full story discloses how when the FA wiped the guy, he started MOANING. Man, it's stories like this that help me to understand why FA's give horrendous service on certain flights!
This is ridiculous. If the man was incapacitated in some way he should have paid for an attendant to travel with him.
I can tolerate lots of things from people that have handicaps. Old lady going on the jetway all feeling bad because she is blocking the way? No prpblem ma'am, take your time. But this is something else. First, I cannot believe a single human being has a condition that somehow makes it impossible to be anything less than 400 lbs. Fat? Maybe. But this is WAY out of proportion. And then there is the poopy story. I mean, really? Have you no shame? Grown adults don't let others wipe their rear end unless they are disabled. And when they are disabled they avoid travel. If travel they must for extraordinary reasons then special precautions must be taken. Certainly a nurse. None of this apply here. And for God's sake avoid going to the bathroom at all! BR should not accept him onboard. No other airline should accept him. Lose weight, learn manners, then we'll discuss.
1. He should be made to pay for cleanup and airline damages. 2. Should be ordered to loose 200 lbs. 3. Should be investigated for non-airline/travel behavior to see what he "does" routinely. 4. Airline should sue him. 5. Mandated psychiatric counseling. 6. The FA should sue him. The guy should never be allowed to go outside his home except to jail!
