I actually went in once. It is an experience I would not like to repeat in the near future. Plus, the EK/PK onboard washrooms are actually quite nice. ^

sleep!
I have no fear no inhibition about using the lavs on board, but I did sleep (with no medicinal help) for 12 hours from TLV-JFk about 2 years ago, and never moved. The people on either side of me (I was in the middle of 5) were surprised to say the least as they commented to my traveling companion.

I try to not use the lav if possible, but I have on a flight that was 45 minutes. Why? Because I had a tight connection and had to go, but instead of going to the bathroom in the airport and missing my plane I went right to the boarding area.
I mainly don't like leaving my seat because I don't trust other pax, yet I can't bring my stuff w/ me into the lav without looking odd.

The one thing that kills me (not literally) when using the lav is when the air gets too dry, a big shock greets me whenever I touch the metal door knob on the lav door.

I know somebody who does pretty much that on long flights if he is in the middle seat. Apparently the FAs usually get worried after an hour or so, but he just tells them he has a bad stomach, and they let him be after that. Pretty gross if you ask me, but each to his own.
