A PASSENGER has been slammed by a woman for using the toilet too often during a flight.

The unnamed passenger explained how they’d brought two 2-litre bottles of water to drink on a three-hour flight.

Concerned about becoming dehydrated on the plane, the passenger sipped their water constantly.

As a consequence they needed to use the toilet four times in 180 minutes, which meant disturbing the woman in the aisle seat every time they moved.

In a post on Reddit, the passenger wanted to know if their behaviour was ludicrous.

They said: “Each time the person sitting on the aisle got progressively annoyed.

“She was sleeping and I woke her up each time, she would sigh, groan and roll her eyes whenever I got up.

“When I used the bathroom for the third time, she asked me if I could try to hold it for the remainder of the flight so she could sleep.”

The passenger explained that they didn’t take their seatmate’s request “too seriously”.

They added: “When I got up for the fourth time, she told me I was rude for not following her request.”

The passenger offered to switch seats with the woman in the aisle seat but she refused.

They said: “I suggested that we flag down a flight attendant because I didn’t feel comfortable resolving this on my own.”

While the flight attendant sided with the passenger in the middle seat, when they arrived at the family home some family members took the woman’s side.

They asked other users on Reddit if they were wrong for going to the toilet too frequently but people were divided.

One person wrote: “How absolutely ridiculous, there was no need to guzzle that much water and be such a nuisance.”

Another added: “If you plan on doing this on your next flight, pay for the aisle seat or get ready to have another p***** off seat mate.”

One person was quick to point out that the female passenger have been disturbed eight times because she’d need to get up to let the middle seat passenger take their seat again.

However, several other users sided with middle seat passenger.

One wrote: “The aisle seat has no reason to be upset, but just because you have that seat doesn’t mean you get to dictate the behaviour of the other two folks in that row.”

One economy passenger was told off by cabin crew for the first class toilets on a flight.

Meanwhile other passengers were described as rude for reclining their seats too far and manspreading.
