Last week, I had just made my way to the one unoccupied toilet (upstairs 747), and had my hand on the door, when this guy ran at the door, and pushed me out of the way.
I only managed a garbled "excu...," when he screamed "I NEED TO TAKE A SH*T!" right in my face and slammed the door.
To his credit, he looked, er, pained.
Maybe this is more DYKINTTAS?

I went downstairs, came back, and fell asleep. I believe he was in there for some time, as I was accidentally woken sometime later by the dulcet tones of two members of the cabin crew singing that lovely lullaby Sir? Sir? Are you OK, Sir? at the toilet door.

The member of cabin crew in the galley that was finishing up breakfast service said it was the worst case of "toilet rage" they'd seen!

DYKWIA- more frequently than I'd expect, there is a Gold member in a neighbouring seat who for some reason starts telling me how he travels so much and is a BA Gold and 'gets lots of benefits'.
I don't tell them about GGL (I don't particularly wish to deflate their ego trip). Then the cabin crew comes to greet me occasionally, and I get this really strange look from the Goldie chap.
No thanks from someone with metal allergy. Gold is fine, but many other metals cause my skin to get very messy (I recently lost one of my fingerprints from a computer mouse which I thought was OK). I cut them (plastic ones) up and chuck them in the recycle bin so they still get recycled, assuming the recycling service is doing what they say they do.

I have yet to have hands on experience with such a card, they are mainly issued/used in the middle east/asia. I can't see any issues with having diamonds encrusted on a card and I think the customers with the cards would get a little upset if the diamonds started falling off! These cards command big fees.
Here are a two examples - LINK - LINK
Metal cards should really become the standard, sending them back for recycling would be much better than the current cut them up.

I don’t think jumping a toilet queue is necessarily a DY..... moment.

I think toilet man may have been on the flight to Mumbai yesterday - he jumped the Club queue 30 mins before landing declaring that "He needs to take a p*ss urgently". Possible coincidence though..
