Spirit Airlines Apparently Forces A College Student To Flush Her Support Hamster Down A Plane's Toilet


With her only friends hours away at campus, Aldecosea was stuck. She says an airline representative suggested flushing Pebbles down an airport toilet, a step that Spirit denies. Panicked and needing to return home promptly to deal with a medical issue, Aldecosea unsuccessfully tried renting a car and agonized for hours before doing the unthinkable.

She flushed Pebbles.

“She was scared. I was scared. It was horrifying trying to put her in the toilet,” Aldecosea said. “I was emotional. I was crying. I sat there for a good 10 minutes crying in the stall.”

Goodness gracious alive. Whoops. Too soon. I feel so badly for Aldecosea. She is going to have nightmares for the rest of her life. No question about that. I mean, can you imagine learning how to spell Aldecosea as a 4-year-old? Musta been terrible. On top of that heartache, she had to flush her fucking support hamster down a plane’s toilet. I dont even think there’s water inside of plane’s toilets. I think it’s just like a c-130 sized portapotty underneath the plane. There’s no way of knowing. But that’s not the point.

Whoever wrote this article certainly knows how to paint a picture. When I read the simple line, “She flushed Pepples” my heart sank right along with Pebbles. I was in the pit of a plane’s potty perplexed at how a plane’s pilot and partners could panic and punish poor Pebbles prior to landing. Folks, there’s a lotta P in there and I aint just talkin about that last alliteration.

Spirit has a buncha explaining to do. I’m gonna tag Big Cat on twitter and he’ll get to the bottom of this. No question about it.

This one goes out to Pebbles.
