Seriously? Blame whomever you want in the chain of command for a non-working part, but what's not to understand about the incredulity of the PAX? So what he blamed the FAs for treating him like a child. He got a BS story from them and you mean to tell me the FAs BELIEVE the 16k' miles for operational lav to be true of ALL airplanes? Wow.
The flight attendant probably meant it is that way on all planes in which the lavatory vacuum generator is inoperative. This condition isn't exactly rare.
