Long wait at bathroom angers travelers after ‘Mile high club’ couple exits
U.S. Olympic beach volleyball player Stafford Slick captured footage of a couple exiting a commercial aircraft bathroom together. A long line had formed outside the lavatory while the man and woman were inside for several minutes. According to Slick’s caption, he believed the couple were using the opportunity to join the ‘Mile High club.’
A viral video appears to show a couple exiting an airplane bathroom after spending several minutes together inside the cramped space.
Also, while the couple was doing whatever they were doing inside the bathroom, several passengers had lined up outside to wait their turn. Based on their reactions, not everyone was happy to finally learn why they had been waiting for so long.

The footage was filmed by U.S. Olympic beach volleyball player Stafford Slick, Yahoo News Australia reports. The athlete reportedly filmed the encounter and shared it to his Instagram story with the caption, “Couldn’t believe my eyes … I’ve heard the legends, but never thought I would see it in real life.”
He then used a hashtag that implied the couple had joined the infamous “mile high club” — a term for people who claim to have had sex on an airplane.

Others were impressed that the couple was able to fit into an airplane bathroom together, with one reply reading, “If two of you can fit in one of those lavatories, I want your tiny selves in my row!”
Another user added, “How?! How can 2 full-grown humans fit in those bathrooms! I’m screwed if I have to turn around in any fashion in those water closets.”
“Bonus points for wearing the same outfit!” another humorously noted.
