A selfish tourist boasted that he had skipped two hours of airport queues by pretending to be injured.
Wolf Jenkins, 28, was warned ‘what goes around, comes around’ by a wheelchair user after he posted a video about his antics at the Milas-Bodrum airport in Turkey.
You can see him limping without his sock and shoe, while airport staff love his supposedly ‘sprained’ ankle.
“Pretend to hurt my leg to get through security faster and get on the plane back from Ibiza,” he wrote. “Amazing what you can achieve with one sock off.”
Wolf is filmed sitting comfortably in the wheelchair as his buddy pushes him through check-in, security gates, the connecting tunnel and then into the plane.
The vacationer said he came up with the plan when he saw a line of passengers “coming out the door.”
“I’d say wait about two hours to go through security and at least check in,” Wolf added. “The line outside the airport was insane, I wasn’t expecting it at all.
“I saw people in wheelchairs being pushed through, so my friend waited in line and I went out and took off my shoe and sock.
“I then stumbled back to the door and an employee asked me if I needed help, so I said I sprained my ankle at the hotel just before getting into my taxi.
“I was then taken through security and had to check in straight away and they asked me if I was fit to fly but I said I had only just done it and I could walk if I needed to. But they said not to worry about it and let me through.’
Needless to say, many who saw Wolf’s joke on social media were shocked, adding that he should be ashamed of himself.
A woman said: ‘Be careful, because what goes around comes back. Coming from a wheelchair user.’
“He will cry when karma visits him,” wrote another.
A Facebook user also pointed out that his lies can backfire and affect the lives of people with disabilities.
They wrote: ‘Great because such people with real disabilities have to wait and suffer longer. No doubt the airports will soon start charging for the service.’
Wolf and his friend were supposed to be in separate parts of the plane, but flight attendants even gave them an entire row of six seats to sit together.
He can see all smiles when he arrived safely in the UK – still transported in a wheelchair.
The one-minute recording ends with the passenger putting on his sock and shoe, showing no signs of pain.
Wolf looks very pleased with himself, gets up from the wheelchair and walks away.
