'My boyfriend got up for a bathroom break on a plane - I soon found out what was taking him so long'

A man has gone above and beyond to lend a helping hand on his flight – all the while his girlfriend believed that he was simply just taking a breather in the bathroom. His girlfriend took to TikTok to shed light on the hilarious situation.

In her video, she said: "My boyfriend said he was going for a wee, I turned round to see what the hell was taking him so long.."

It turns out that her boyfriend was offering assistance to the flight attendants by collecting passengers' garbage. Incredibly, he was even sporting the crew's uniform – an apron and neck scarf.

• 'My ex and I loved this baby name - now he's using it with his new girlfriend'
• 'We want to name our baby after a sushi restaurant - but people think it's strange'

In her clip's caption, the girlfriend suggested: "TUI UK and Ireland might have a new staff member by next week. We'll take free flights as payment pls."

The funny tale took TikTok by storm with users flooding the comments section.

"Bro started a side quest," one user teased.

"Took me a moment to realize he wasn't the guy behind the attendants and he was the new attendant," another confused soul chimed in.

Yet another cracked up, saying: "I love the look the flight attendant gives you."

One user shared their amusement at his commitment, stating: "I am pissing at how he just doesn't even acknowledge you - he's got work to do."

Adding to the hilarity, one person noted: "It's the neck scarf for me."

"Lmao I thought he was the actual flight attendant," another fooled user admitted.

"Love how he completely skipped you," another remarked approvingly.

Moreover, comprehending why the woman's partner was offering his help, another social media user posted: "Legend. I get this. I get so bored on flights. I'd happily do this just to pass the time."
