Props to this guy as he wasn't a total ass about any of this at all. For $400 a ticket, they really should do something about this!

But seriously, why don't people pee and poo before they get on the plane? I know that sometimes you can't help it but damn, seems like everyone has to go to the bathroom while on the plane.

It's true. I've flown cross country without having to get up for the bathroom while some people get up to go before the plane even takes off, or before the seat belt sign is off. It's one of my top annoyances.

When you're on a 6+ hour long flight, holding it in is not an option.

Just don't go crazy on the water or other liquids, piss before hand, and you're good to go. Not that hard.

It's funny because it's true! I've been there. Not in regards to that specific seat but in Airline travel in general. If I had to bet I would assume his flight was delayed a couple of times that day, probably a Friday going-home trip.

Because there's nothing I enjoy more than going without water for about 5-6 hours in a flying metal tube that's doing nothing but recycling and drying out the breathing air.

What, you don't enjoy it as much as I do?

I didn't say don't drink water, I said don't go crazy on it. As long as you don't have the bladder of an 80 year old you'll be fine.

And I'm not saying I get up every 30 minutes to pee. But the implication that ideally you shouldn't even go once on a flight, especially a long one is a bit ridiculous. :) Thirst is much more uncomfortable than needing to, well, go.

On CA to NY trips, I average about one trip to the bathroom per flight, with another possible trip once I'm in the terminal. I don't think that's the bladder of an 80-year-old.

yea i sympathize with that customer, I'm glad he was actually a *tiny* bit coherent and a lot bit humorous in his attempt to get change done, Continental should take note.

That's the kind of letter I would like to get as a cus servirce rep. Something jocund instead of a letter reeking of belligerence.

I don't go to the bathroom much in general, like once when I get up, and once more at night.

A 6 hour flight is nothing :p

I am afraid to use the bathroom on airplanes. Its so confined and I feel like the walls are ready to break apart at any moment if I brush up against them. Besides, shouldn't this guy have known where his seat was BEFORE he bought the ticket?

Most of my flights are 10+ hours, so I'm not going with the 'hold it' comments.

Still, I think it was the typos that made that letter, more than the "art"!

Hahahaha. Awesome.

I thought most airlines had a schematic of the plane and the seat locations you could verify online.

yeah you could (I never do)... but they are far from scale..

The worst part is I was in that exact seat during two flights last month. Luckily it never got that bad, but ugh.

HIlarious letter :lol :lol

And while we are on the subject, most of the flights I take are 10 hours on average. Like what others have said, holding it is not an option. That is why I always sit on the aisle side so as not to bother the other two if I had to get out.

Maybe we take different carriers, but they carriers I use are exact plane diagrams. Not only are they to scale, but they show whether every seat is booked or not in real time and you select which one you want among the available chairs. Maybe it's because you don't use that feature, but not only are they to scale, they show exactly where every unreserved seat is relative to the bathrooms.

I drink a lot of water. At least a gallon a day. I could easily go through three or five water bottles on a good coast to coast flight. However that means on the plane, much as in the rest of my life, I go to the bathroom like every ninety minutes.

It would have been even funnier if his writing got even more erratic as the letter went on.

I was on a plane twice a week for a few months last year and I can see this guy's point. The stench of the lavatory is disgusting. Luckily my flight wasn't too long. I don't like using the bathroom on the plane - especially since reading the story of that poor woman that had some "damage" done when she flushed. Yuck.
