Delta passenger is put on standby when she tries to get earlier flight. She gets a seat, but is then unceremoniously deboarded: ‘Walk of shame’

Getting involuntarily deplaned is never fun. However, the way it happened to Joy Flinchum on a recent Delta Airlines flight had her questioning her self-esteem for a moment. Especially since she hadn’t really been expecting to even be on the flight in the first place. Her confused Instagram post went on to rack up over 982K views as people tried to help her make sense of the situation.

In her video, Flinchum is seated in the waiting area after being deplaned. She claimed, “I just got kicked off a flight. No joke. And before you think it’s anything, I wasn’t bad. I wasn’t belligerent. I wasn’t anything. Let me tell you the story. And I’m only telling you this story because I need to know if this has happened to anybody else. Because I am pretty embarrassed. Also kind of funny.”
