TikToker sparks backlash after faking injury to skip airport lines Unsplash.com: John Oswald \/ TikTok: wolfjenkoA TikToker has sparked a debate on the app for faking a leg injury to skip lines at the airport for a trip back home from holiday \u2014 and not everyone is amused by his strategy. TikTok is home to viral content of all kinds. From one user sharing a chicken tender recipe that helped him lose 66 lbs to another spilling Starbucks\u2019 trade secrets, it\u2019s easy for unique content to take the app by storm. The latest video taking over the platform comes from a user who filmed himself going through airport security for his flight back home from vacation\u2026 but his methods for doing so aren\u2019t sitting well with some users. TikToker \u2018WolfJenko\u2019 was on his way back home from Turkey when he decided that he\u2019d had enough of lines at the airport. To mitigate his wait time, he faked an injury to his leg and was able to secure a wheelchair from airport staff. The clip shows Jenko skipping past security to go through a special metal detector just for people in wheelchairs. That\u2019s not all; he even showed that he and his buddy managed to get two entire rows to themselves on the plane to stretch out his \u2018injured\u2019 leg. Jenko managed to deplane and got back home with no problems \u2014 and no one questioning his injury. \u201cAmazing what taking off one sock can achieve,\u201d he said of his prank. His video recording the practical joke has racked up over one million views. Click here if TikTok fails to load. The clip has prompted a slew of viewers to share their own funny stories of using wheelchairs at the airport, while others criticized the TikToker for potentially taking away equipment that wheelchair-users might need. \u201cThis really isn\u2019t funny, there are some of us that really actually need this!!!\u201d one user wrote. \u201cBe careful because what goes around comes back around,\u201d another said. \u201cComing from a wheelchair user.\u201d \u201cThis has made me so mad,\u201d another commented. \u201cActually offered to help with your bags. I was with my son and mother who actually need to use this service.\u201d While this TikTok has the net up in arms, it\u2019s far from the most controversial air-travel shenanigans to take over the app \u2013 like the time someone closed the plane window behind them with their bare foot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
