86 Facepalm Questions Cabin Crew Have Actually Been Asked By Real Passengers

I had a passenger ring the call bell, and we hadn't reached 10000 feet yet. I got up to see what she needed. She explained that her husband needed to use the bathroom. I explained the seatbelt sign is on, however, he may use the restroom but please be careful. She proceeded to tell me he needed assistance. When I walked away to get the onboard wheelchair and to ask for help because I couldn't pick up the man by myself, she began screeching at me that her husband has a disability over and over. I calmly explained I didn't have a problem with the disability just her expecting me to lift him by myself.
That wasn't even the weird request, once the flight lead and I got the gentleman to the aft lav, helped him stand, I went back to her seat to get her. That's when she became even more irate. She expected me to assist him in the bathroom not just to the bathroom. The two of them began arguing. He proceeded to urinate all over the lav floor.

My airline doesn’t provide blankets since we’re a low cost carrier and we don’t even sell them on planes. Bc of this we try to keep the plane warm.
