Anthony Bass expressed outrage at United Airlines after he claimed flight staff made his pregnant wife get on her "hands and knees" to clean up a mess made by their children.
A tweet from Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass is prompting a lot of discussion online.
On Sunday, Bass expressed outrage at United Airlines after he claimed the flight staff made his pregnant wife get on her “hands and knees” to clean up a mess made by their children during the journey.
“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,” wrote Bass. “Are you kidding me?!?!”
Bass, 35, included a photo of his two daughters on the plane, sitting amid scattered popcorn on the plane seat and aisle.
The tweet, which has been viewed 10.9 million times, received a divisive wave of replies. Some called for shame on the United Airlines staff member for asking Bass’ pregnant wife to clean the mess, while most others celebrated the employee for insisting that customers ought to clean up their own messes.
“Flight crew aren’t our slaves; they will help if asked, not assumed,” one Twitter user replied.
