A woman is outraged after she was removed from a flight from Mexico to Canada due to what authorities are saying was her "excessive bathroom use" before the plane took off.

Joanna Chiu outlined her experience on X, claiming that her frequent trips to the plane's bathroom were due to her "upset stomach," and that she was on "meds and on the mend."


Unfortunately, WestJet employees seemed to be unsympathetic to her plight and removed her from the plane, to which many online say was the right thing to do.

Per the NY Post, one person wrote, "You are wrong for this. Many stomach bugs are extremely contagious, an entire flight could be taken down by one selfish person."

Another added, "As a former flight attendant, they made the right call. I can't vouch for how they communicated to/with you, but the decision wasn't wrong."
