Always have this strange question: What if you have a diarrhea and you just have to the toilet every 15 minutes?

1. Do you have to wait for the FA to block the door for you? How embarrassing that must be, that FAs have to do that constantly... and the smell!
2. What if you can't hold it?

These are serious questions. I think I myself have an easily upset stomach! (Maybe I can't be a pilot then...)

Oh and, how do you get out of your seats (those seats are so tiny seen in photo) without accidentally touching some of those tiny nameless switches?

And when you accidentally touch those switches, would you be able to know which lever you accidentally turn on/off? And if you accidentally, let's say, turn 5 levers as you get out of your seat, could it cause a crash?

I know this China Airlines pilot accidentally turned on the auto go around lever during landing and fought the airbus control before crashing....
