Worse than feet on bulkheads

Meet Mr 5D.

Picking and rubbing and scratching away at dead skin and heavens knows what else.

Just near his big toe you can see 4D in which was seated a well known AFFer.

I didn’t have the heart to mention it to the AFFer concerned until after the meal service.

You know who you are :).

Taken by me on a Delta flight from Denver to LAX a couple of weeks ago. Giving new meaning to the term 'first class'.

Imagine the odour in time (perhaps best not to.) Cretinous!
 
Well maybe he was on a flight where they left the seat belts on for a inordinately long time. An aviator in these fora posted that seat belt on means that. If you have to pee well that’s too bad.

Not quite right. I was once very very desperate to go and the seat belt sign was on and was on for a while. I was given permission by the crew to go to the toilet and it may have been the business class toilet.

My other option was to pee in my pants and that would not have been very desirable.

Even in the USA if the seat belt sign is on the cabin crew will leave the decision to the passenger. They will remind you the sign is on, but they won't specifically refuse or authorise you to use the bathroom

Can You Use the Bathroom While the Seat Belt Sign is On? The Definitive Legal Answer - View from the Wing

As I explained nearly three years ago generally flight attendants don’t actually care if you use the lavatory while the seat belt sign is on. They have to tell you that the seat belt sign is on. They cannot tell you it is ok for you to use the lavatory.

I watch passengers, over and over, asking permission. The flight attendant cannot give you permission. Because what if something bad happened? That’s on them and the airline. But if they advise you that the seat belt sign is on and you go anyway it’s pretty much on you.

Now, of course, you must follow flight attendant instructions. So if they actually do tell you to sit down, you’d best do it. Most of the time passengers think a flight attendant is telling them to sit down when they’re just saying the seat belt sign is on. Occasionally I see flight attendants saying ‘the seat belt sign is on’ while making faces and motioning passengers into the lav.

That’s the practical real world answer. What about the law? Finally we have that answer too.

* It is a violation of 14 C.F.R. 121.317(f) not to have your seat belt fastened when the seat belt sign is on. Civil penalties up to $10,000 could be assessed. However there has been no enforcement action taken against a passenger solely for violating this rule in the last 5 years.

The penalty was imposed on a male passenger who harassed a female passenger, though the seatbelt sign violation by itself "did not merit a penalty" (only in conjunction with disobeying FA instructions).
 
On a flight from LAX-SFO we had bad weather and the flight crew mentioned that the seatbelt would be on the entire flight and inflight service suspended.

After a while someone had to go. He went. The cabin crew did not stop him but suggested he use both hands holding on to seats as he went past or braces against overhead luggage compartment.
It was a Embraer so you can stand up if less than 6.5 feet tall.
Within a short period other “busting” passengers started queuing up.

Why is it when at work people can go for hours without needing the loo but when flying, some need the loo as soon as they board an aircraft?

That's an interesting technique right there. Strong argument that many men should be forced to sit down when relieving themselves really. Oh, we are back to the LAX-SFO guy again, never mind :confused:
