I like that BA announces consistently about 40 minutes out that the seatbelt signs are going to go on and there will be no access to the lavs after that. 30 minutes out, the nose of the plane dips as the approach begins. 20 minutes out, the seatbelt sign comes on and that's it. Of course, if you're going 'round the racetrack above LHR, that 20 minutes can stretch out to quite a while. In my experience with AA, that warning is hit-and-miss and usually at the 30 minute mark.
it's difficult to imagine what one would do in his situation except never be in that situation. If he had to go badly enough that he pissed himself at his seat, he certainly had to go badly enough much earlier on when the original warning was made. It's also difficult to imagine how one should behave having just pissed oneself, knowing that clean clothing still has to be delivered from the hold to the claim area... "like nothing happened" may be the best reaction. Of course, that same behavior may be interpreted as "can't believe that happened again".

LMAO, simple. Flyer didn't break any FAA regs for doing that .... just curious, did he just dump the blanket on the seat/floor when he deplaned as it's usually done? FA was clueless afterward - not that it matter to her/him/them?
If this take place at work, just red bag the seat cushion/bottom - call environmental services and let them take over and clean up the mess. The blanket, red or whatever color, goes into a red bag & sealed for disposal - after first putting on a pair of gloves. That's universal precaution for handling biohazards ... bodily fluid.
And, those lav doors are no longer latched (locked) from the outside for takeoff & landing?

A couple of weeks ago one of my friends told me a similar story. They were deplaning and a young guy tried to get in the forward lav; unfortunately another passenger went in right before him. Not wanting to wait, he proceeded to pull his pants down and pee all over the floor, bulkhead and seats in row 1.
Also had a family boarding recently and one of the kids needed to go. Rather than walk inside the airplane and use the lav, the father told him to just go there so the kid peed all over the jetway and the side of the airplane.
Some times I just have to shake my head...

I was about 2 minutes from peeing into a water bottle once. They made the announcements, but I figured I could handle 30 more minutes. Then we went into an hour holding pattern and my planning went down the tubes.

On a flight from Shanghai to Guangdong in 2006, I had to use the loo. Went in and found that there were footprints (shoe) on the seat. Apparently, someone used it by sitting on the seat with their feet! I sent to another lavatory.
First time I heard of durian: at a hotel in Malaysia there was sign: "No durians allowed" - I assumed it was a racial thing. Later, ate one in KL - past the smell, it is sweet and pretty good.
In a book by Pearl Buck, she mentioned that her mother-in-law (Chinese) said she never used handkerchiefs because the thought of carrying mucus around was disgusting, so she just blew into her hands and then to the ground.
A confession: I once did throw up on a commuter aircraft over western North Carolina - during a tornado event that they couldn't get over or around - before I could get the barf bag. I was very sorry for the FA and the ground crew.
