A grandmother made one heck of a midair social faux pas recently, directing her granddaughter to just go ahead and relieve herself all over the cabin floor.
Pictures from the incident were posted online by an unfortunate nearby passenger on a flight from Zhengzhou to Beijing. He says that the little girl announced her need to go potty. However, rather than escort her to the toilet, the granny simply took down the girl's pants. A few second later, passengers were horrified to hear a tinkling sound as the girl urinated on the floor.
That's gonna take some scrubbing.
Netizens were disgusted by the incident. "For some of my compatriots, everywhere is a toilet," one lamented. "Thanks to this kind of education, when this kid grows up, she is going to be just the same," sighed another.
While this is about as blatant as it gets, it still could have been worse. Last year, two parents aboard a Shenzhen Airlines flight from Nanjing to Guangzhou let their kid defecate in the cabin because the bathrooms on board were "too small." The year before that another Chinese family made headlines after they allowed their child to do his business in the cabin aisle of a Delta Airlines fight from Beijing to the US.
Maybe Chinese airlines should think about teaming up and printing out some informational pamphlets.
