Actually, I can see how this could happen on a 763, which has a slightly different style of lav (maybe the 777 too, I don't remember).

Considering how difficult to get them to do anything, I am surprised they can even serve drinks

Do you really want a drink after I have unclogged the lav?? Here you go, enjoy! :D

You may make an announcement requesting for a housekeeping, like paging a doctor.

I assume that you will clean yourself up afterwards. ......... or was that too much to expect? After all people in restaurants go to the bathroom and then serve you food. I really don't understand why we need laws that require signage reminding employees to wash hands. If they need a sign to tell them that, then they shouldn't be employees. BTW, if the employee really isn't in the habit of washing his hands, a sign isn't going to change them.

Last week I used the lav on a flight and saw that the sink was clogged. Naturally, I used the water from the faucet sparingly, hit the stopper a couple times to no avail, and then silently slinked back to my seat. I sure didn't want the FA to assume it was me that caused the problem.

I imagined walking back down the aisle after alerting the FA, then hearing an announcement over the PA: "We'd like to remind the passengers not to discard hand towels into the sink or toilet, since doing so WILL cause a blockage." The trip back to the seat would then become a "walk of shame." The accusatory stares from the fellow pax, hushed murmurs of "what a jerk," or just "eeewwwww!"

It's just better to ignore the problem. :)

b) will work... unless there is a line for it and then you are S.O.L.

If I remember correctly at least in FC on a 777 if you are seated on the hole and your a$$ is as big as the hole, flushing will give you a hinnie hickie that will be hard as hell to explain to the MS. when you get home.

Only 4 Million and 130 miles to get to 10 Million.

:p ^ :)

This is a related topic, but not the exact one discussed here. I know a guy that was going to use the lavatory and opened the door to find another woman in there in a fairly compromising position...nonetheless I think they were both embarassed. The guy in a seat near the bathroom however did give the guy opening the door thumbs up. Hopefully no one has run into issues with the lock. Sometimes I know I've had to really force the lock to the right so it shows occupied.
