All this about an hour or less out of Lima as passengers awoke and obviously wanted to use the lav. (The anxious looks, one male seated on the aisle seat arm looking anxious the pilot actually locked eyes with momentarily, told the story, but Capt. Obviousman couldn't take the hint and return to his "office".)
Sometimes, people are just oblivious, or their minds are elsewhere, myself included. Nothing wrong with saying something politely.
