I've had some people look really pissed off that their sleep/movie/music whatever was interrupted...
I can be more understanding of the middle seat person getting irritated as they are, so to speak, in the middle. But aisle people have some nerve to get irritated when a window or the middle seat person need to get out. Aisle people of the world, that's the price of seating in the aisle seat. If you don't want to be bothered by people trying to get out, by the middle and the window seat also.
I have seen it in F also.

It may or may not be poor planning.
- The person might have had a tight connection.
- They might have been held up at immigration or customs prior to getting on your flight.
- They might have been VIP'd by TSA.
- They just had an urge to go as they had had some thing to drink while waiting for the flight, and now it has mad it through to their bladder.
- They might have a medical issue where they need to go more frequently than you or most people.
It's best not make judgements about others.

^. Nor should anyone care what the person in the aisle seat thinks. I realise it's inconvenient for Mr Aisle seat to get up, but that's what aisle seat is about. The person apologizes and thanks them, what else is there to fume about?
