Intoxicated United Airlines passenger peed on seatmate mid-flight, lawsuit claims
Fox ^ | 10/17/17

Posted on 10/17/2017 5:48:59 AM PDT by workerbee

As the cross-country flight prepared for takeoff to Newark Airport, Card alleges in the suit, filed on Wednesday, that the inebriated man next to him in row 24 “took out his penis and aimed it at Card and proceeded to urinate all over Card’s leg, while Card was confined to his seat due to an imminent departure of the flight.”

Card said he tried to wake up the passed out passenger, who smelled strongly of alcohol, but could not. He then alerted the airline crew, who according to the suit, “refused [his] request to relocate his seat.” After several requests, Card says he was finally moved from the urine-soaked seat, but was “forced to endure the remainder of the flight to Newark/New Jersey while remaining in his urine drenched clothing.”

Since Mr. Peepee was sleeping after the fact, I'd have been tempted to reach over and put pressure on his carotid artery and jugular vein. Put him to sleep permanently.

Then alert the flight attendants that something is seriously wrong with a passenger.

The victim just won the lottery. United will quickly settle.

I hope so. But seriously, he “couldn’t wake him up?”

I’m pretty sure I could.

There are times in life when one must ignore the instructions of others.
This was very clearly one of those occasions.

Why didn’t he go to the restroom and wash his pants? He did not have to sit on the whole flight that way. And why is he filing a lawsuit against the airline? They did not pee on him.

The takeoff was at Los Angeles so the flight length was about 5 hours, so the ‘victim’ had that time to sit with his odious clothing. I can understand the flight crew, busy with the takeoff procedures, not moving the victim immediately but him having to make multiple requests probably is more due to the passenger loading and putting the victim in a seat that can offend even more passengers. Logical BUT shows why flying cattle car is no longer very attractive.

Seriously? What a total wuss. This can't be the first time he's been tinkled on if that's his attitude. No, he should have started hollering and cussing the drunk out and getting out of his seat no matter what the little lighted sign might have said. The pilot would just have to abort take off and deal with the situation immediately. United had darned well better get him cleaned up and in a new pair of pants and put him in first class on the next flight. But, no, now they'll be paying for a new house, a new car, a complete new wardrobe and first class tickets for life.

Depending on my mood, if someone pissed on me, I’d beat him bloody.

I witnessed a similar event some years ago on a London to DC flight. A “drunken” Moslem stood & urinated on a person next to him. He summarily chastised with multiple closed fists and other blunt objects placed on and around his face and head. He was then offered a floor seat where he was locked in the forward and upright position somewhere near the rear of the 747 for the remainder of the transatlantic flight.

Too bad the same result was not offered to the scumbum on this flight.

Exactly. If a drunk is about to urinate on you, jump up and loudly call attention so smartphone videos start rolling.
The absurd adherence to this “safety” procedure is utterly ridiculous. This innocent passenger should have leapt out of his seat.
