Sometimes nature calls at the worst possible of times and in the worst possible of places.
A mainland Chinese couple and their one-year-old son were kicked off a Dragonair flight on Saturday after they refused to leave the bathroom… where they are thought to have been cleaning their kid’s poop… in the sink… with the door open.
A row began after passengers reportedly began to complain about a strong smell coming from the aeroplane bathroom right before takeoff from Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok airport for Beijing.
When the couple refused to finish their stinky job and return to their seats after multiple appeals from flight attendants, the captain ordered them off the plane.
After the trio remained defiant, however, the police were called to physically remove them from the aircraft.
Luckily for the family, no-one was arrested and they were put on another Dragonair flight later that day.
According to the SCMP, the flight was delayed by two-and-a-half hours.
The incident is the latest in a string of sagas involving mainland passengers and their bad behaviour on planes.
Just last week, a family from mainland China was booted off a Cathay Pacific flight bound for Hong Kong after their three-year-old boy refused to put on his safety belt before takeoff, with the mother insisting he was just fine on her lap.
