“Why Are Y’all Being Rude?”: Influencer Breaks Down After Airport Staff “Humiliated” Her

A young passenger said she was humiliated, mocked, and left sobbing inside an airport shortly before boarding her flight to London.

“I felt so embarrassed. I felt so stupid. I literally felt humiliated,” said the heartbroken woman named Jos, better known as nnnnylsoj to her 1.8 million followers on TikTok.

In a now-viral video, the 21-year-old revealed that a simple luggage mix-up had spiraled into a mortifying encounter with TSA agents at Austin International Airport.

Before boarding her British Airways flight to London, Jos told a woman TSA agent that she accidentally checked in the wrong bag and took another one with her to security.

The employee walked Jos back to the check-in line and asked her to “go ahead and switch [her] bag out,” the TikToker said through tears in her video.

She said the female TSA agent asked her to come through the priority line to check in once she had switched the bags.

However, when Jos returned to the priority line as instructed, a male TSA agent allegedly claimed she was in the wrong line.

The flustered content creator tried to explain the situation and pointed towards the female agent who had given her the go-ahead to stand in the priority line.

But instead of backing her up, the female agent allegedly changed the story.

“She turns around and she goes, ‘No, no, I said go through normal TSA,’ whatever it’s called,” the internet star said.
