Think the worst seat on an airplane is in the aisle? Think again. A man is suing JetBlue for forcing him to give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on the toilet during a flight from California to New York. Originally, the man, who was flying on a voucher from an airline employee friend, was told that no seats were available on the five-hour flight, but a flight attendant determined that her buns of steel could handle the jump seat in the back of the plane. After he boarded and the plane departed, she decided that her buns weren’t made of such stern stuff, and couldn’t handle an uncomfortable ride. Ultimately, the pilot pulled the ‘my plane, my rules’ card known to dad drivers everywhere, and told the unlucky passenger to cool his heels on either side of the throne. When the airplane hit turbulence, the only safety equipment available to the bathroom rider was a roll of toilet paper and his own clenching butt muscles. After a while, a male flight attendant let him return to his original seat in relative (for air travel) comfort.

The man is suing for more than $2 million, presumably $1 million for each cheek. If the story pans out, keep this in mind: if you’re flying JetBlue when the chips are down, you’ll probably have to sit in them.
