Southwest Airlines Community

Can you believe this:   As I was onboard the plane, I needed to use the restroom. Another person (male) was inside the restroom so I waited till the stall became vacant. We were sitting in the 3rd row. The person exited the restroom and I got up out of my seat and went inside. I used the restroom and washed my hands and was exiting the stall. When I exited the stall the flight attendant Ms. XXXX Jackson questioned me and and ask me if I was smoking inside the restroom. Surprised at what she ask me, I told her "no I didn't smoke inside the restroom", then she questioned me again and said "you didn't vape in the restroom?", again I said "no, I wouldn't do something like that". After Ms. Jackson rudely accused me of smoking on the flight she ignorantly told me " then go sit down". As I went back to my seat so as to not cause any problems on the flight, I told the lady sitting next to me what the stewardess ask me and she said when I open up the restroom door to go inside it was a wind of smoke smell that came out of the restroom. The other person went inside the restroom stall two times. Once before me and once after me. I pointed out to Ms. Jackson that the same person is going back into the stall and she told me he has a health problem and needed to frequent the restroom.    1) I did not smoke or do anything but use the restroom to relieve myself and washed my hands inside that stall. 2) The person that used the restroom before me got up again and went into the stall again, could it have been him because it wasn't me. 3) Why didn't the stewardess ask the man in the stall prior to me if he would be honest and say if he went inside the stall and smoked or did something.     I felt so bad I was being accused of something so serious and how that could have been a huge problem if I smoked on an aircraft. My parent taught us to be upstanding citizens and I'm not crazy enough to do something that unlawful. The other stewardess (Martin XXXX) was standing alongside the other stewardess and didn't say anything.    I am appalled at Southwest Airlines for her accusing me of such a crime. I understand the stewardess was doing her job, but the way she approached me about the situation and only questions me I felt was discriminatory and an assault on my character.  If this type of issue was upgraded I do not know what could have turned out with such a accusation.   I have never had a problem with Southwest or any other airlines and I feel I had been assaulted.   -RA ...
