Summary
Orthodox Jewish passenger Yisroel Liebb filed a federal lawsuit claiming a United Airlines pilot forcibly removed him from an airplane bathroom during a January 2024 flight from Tulum to Houston, exposing his genitalia to passengers.
Liebb said he was experiencing constipation and had been in the bathroom for about 30 minutes when the pilot broke the lock and dragged him out.
After landing, Customs and Border Protection officers detained Liebb and another passenger, allegedly making derogatory remarks about their religion.
United Airlines and CBP declined to comment.
I’ve been spending more time than that in there since I was a child… Used to bring my comics in there, these days it’s the phone.
Have you tried adding more fiber to your diet?
I don’t have troubles doing the deed, I just like hanging out in there because it’s the one place where no one bothers me and I have no responsibility haha.
Have you tried having an autoimmune disease that affects bowel movements?
Not everybody is healthy and it’s not always their own fault.
I didn’t say it was their fault, I was just offering a suggestion that helped me.
Who pissed in your cheerios?
Classic victim blaming.
I’m sorry you feel that way. Perhaps if you added some fiber to your diet, you might feel better.
Asshole.
You know what? I’m sorry. Have a good day/night.
