A man is suing jetBlue Airlines because he was allegedly forced to spend the flight sitting on a toilet.
Gokhan Mutlu arrived at the San Diego airport only to discover that his flight was overbooked. An off duty airline employee agreed to give up her regular seat and instead sit in one of the jump seats, which are reserved for employees. Midway through the flight, however, Mutlu was told that the employee wanted her original seat back, and that he just go "hang out" in the men's room. Mutlu claims this humiliated him, and now he wants $2 million in damages.
It's not clear exactly why Mutlu found this to be so humiliating. In fact, wouldn't Mutlu have been better off just keeping his yap shut? That way no one else would ever have know about it. But by filing the lawsuit, he has now alerted the entire freakin' world to what happened.
Even worse, Senator Larry Craig has now called Mutlu and offered to share a men's room the next time he needs to fly.
