A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed by more than an hour after a frustrated flight attendant demanded passengers clean up spilled rice from in the middle of the aisle.
Passengers said the mess was made almost immediately after travelers began boarding the plane from Atlanta, Georgia, to Houston, Texas, on Saturday. But the irate flight attendant demanded those on board the flight cleaned it up before they took to the skies, with one passenger sharing the story on social media.
Jennifer Schaper documented the drama on the April 15 flight at Georgia’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Twitter, explaining that the flight crew appeared to be at the end of a long working stint and low on patience. "Just boarded the plane and somebody spilled food. The flight attendant screamed 'who spilled rice?' and is walking up and down the aisles," she wrote in her tweet, along with a picture of the spilled rice.
