In Taiwan, a lot of fuss arose due to an incident on an EVA Air flight
between Los Angeles and Taipei. An American passenger became angry because
a cabin employee did not wipe his buttocks on a toilet visit, according to
Taiwanese media.
 
The man, who had been brought on board with a wheelchair, could not go to
the toilet independently due to serious overweight and an injury to his
hand. He therefore asked cabin crew for help.
 
A cabin worker brought him to the Business Class toilet because he did not
fit into the smaller Economy toilet. Shortly after he sat there, he again
asked the employee for help.
 
The American said he did not succeed in getting his underpants all the way
down. The cabin employee first refused to assist, but after urging
("You promised to help me!") She did it.
 
That did not stop the misery, however. After his underwear was down, the
man also asked for the door of the toilet to be left open. He said he
suffered from claustrophobia and was difficult to breathe with the door
shut.
 
Whether the door has really remained open is not clear. But after the man
had done his job, he demanded from the stewardess that she wiped his
buttocks. He could not do that himself because of his broken hand.
 
The employee found the request very inappropriate and reacted irritably:
"This is really too much of a good thing. We only have female cabin
crew on board. Nobody can help you. "
 
But after the man continued to insist and other passengers were bothered by
it, the employee went on tack (with plastic gloves). Even then the man was
not satisfied. He shouted angry "deeper! deeper! ".
 
After he had returned to his chair, the cabin worker had to cry and throw
up. In a post on social media she writes that she was traumatized by the
incident. It would be a low point in her career.
 
EVA Air has now responded to the incident. The company emphasizes in a
statement to The Daily Apple that stewards and stewardesses are not obliged
to respond to such requests.
 
It is investigated whether measures are needed against the passenger in
question. The cabin assistant receives assistance from EVA Air in
processing the traumatic event.
