Airline flight delayed for bizarre reason as humanoid robot triggers safety query

Bebop the robot drew crowds by dancing at the gate before a lithium battery issue grounded it temporarily

A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed for about an hour recently for a most unusual reason.

A humanoid robot had been brought on board as a passenger. But it couldn't take to the skies right away.

The 75-pound robot, named Bebop, was traveling from Oakland, California, to San Diego on Thursday, April 30 — and attracted a crowd at the gate as it danced for everyone before boarding.

"A lot of people came, took videos and had their kids come and give it high-fives," Eily Ben-Abraham, an employee with Elite Event Robotics of Dallas, Texas, told Fox News Digital. Elite Event Robotics rents out interactive robots for events.

The delay in the flight stemmed from an issue with the robot’s battery — which exceeded airline limits, the company said.

Not an annoyance per se, but I found it odd that there was a free feminine hygiene products dispenser in a men’s room in the Seattle airport, and yes I am sure that it was a men’s room, not a gender neutral restroom, and that I also hadn’t accidentally walked into the women’s room.
Seattle is a very progressive city. It's likely that women that "identify" as men are allowed to use the men's facilities.

Reread this thread. Used to travel for business on the company's dime. Back when most men wore coat and tie. Travel was fun then, now there's nothing at all to like about travel, from the traffic jam getting to the airport, to the disorganized walkers, to the wait lines to get on board, to the overloaded seat bins, to the bags of pretzels (not even peanuts!), to stained seats, toilets that smell worse than outhouses, to the tardiness of getting bags off carousel, to the cost of parking. However, thoroughly beats driving 2,000 miles. But am too poor to afford a private plane, which doesn't serve food by the way.

I’ve paid $50K in ‘boob tax’ to travel — my size R chest makes flying economy impossible

She’s booby-trapped in high-cost traveling.

Paying an arm and a leg for flights can be a major pain. But for Summer Robert, a frequent flyer with 55-pound, size R breasts, paying through the nose just to fit comfortably in an airplane seat is a budget-busting injustice, says the siren, who’s spent over $50,000 upgrading from economy to business class accommodations for extra space.

“There is a real physical and financial toll of navigating a world that feels increasingly designed for a one-size-fits-all standard,” Robert, 28, said in a statement, chiding the airline industry for imposing a “boob tax” on her full-figured physique.

Summer Robert says her size R breasts make flying economy uncomfortable, forcing her to pay thousands for roomier airplane seating.

“The biggest struggle is comfort, especially on a long-haul flight,” continued the buxom bombshell, an OnlyFans model from Scotland. “I always end up with the person next to me touching my boobs, and it makes both of us uncomfortable.”

She recently shelled out a whopping $14,686 for a one-way flight from Los Angeles, California, to Melbourne, Australia, paying a premium to make the 16-hour trip in peace, calling the added-on fees a shameless “money grab.”

“The lack of space in economy means I cannot do it,” Robert groaned. “Even something so simple like putting the tray table down to eat my dinner is so difficult; it doesn’t go down all the way.”

“I need to get business, or I won’t be able to eat my dinners on a plane or be touched by another passenger.”

“I burnt my boobs literally two or three weeks ago,” she griped. “I spilled hot, boiling tea on them, and I burnt them completely. My boobs are red, raw, burnt right now.”

Beyond her financial and physical frustrations, Robert claims she’s often objectified by jerks in airports — including gate agents — making jet-setting a triple shot of “hell” for the VIP vixen.

“I want people to know that it isn’t all glitz and glam,” said Robert of her internet-famous orbs. “It’s fun for sure, I love my body so much, but there are definitely downsides.”

To be fair she's using her big cans to make money so I'd say it all evens out
