A Major League Baseball star has taken to social media to slam United Airlines after a flight attendant made his pregnant wife get on her ‘hands and knees’ to clean up her two-year-old daughter’s mess.
Anthony Bass, a pitcher for the Blue Jays in the MLB, took to Twitter and expressed his frustration over the way his pregnant wife was treated during her flight.
“The flight attendant @united just made my 22 week pregnant wife traveling with a 5 year old and 2 year old get on her hands and knees to pick up the popcorn mess by my youngest daughter,” he wrote.
“Are you kidding me?!?!”
It is understandable that children make a mess anywhere, so the incident sparked a lengthy debate on social media about whose responsibility it is to clean up the mess the toddler made.
One person commented: “Genuinely curious who should clean up the mess your 2 year old made? As a parent of three kids I am the one responsible for them.”
Bass replied to the question and said: “The cleaning crew they hire!”
Many were not sympathetic towards the MLB player, with one person commenting: “Won’t lie, the fact that the flight attendant had the guts to make the passenger clean up their own MESS kinda makes me wanna fly United more.”
Another said: “The flight attendant was making sure the next passengers had a tidy seating area for their flight, but Karen thinks they should get down on their hands and knees to clean up after everyone’s kids or get fired.”
A third added: “A flight attendant is there for safety, not to pick up after you or your children. As a former flight attendant, I speak from experience.”
United Airline released a statement and said they will look into the incident.
