Safety First: Dude Gets Locked In The Bathroom For The Entire Flight, Gets A Note Telling Him To Sit On The Toilet And Secure Himself For Landing

[Source] - “Sir we tried our best to open the door, however, we could not,” the letter read. “Do not panic. We are landing in a few minutes, so please close the commode lid and sit on it and secure yourself. As soon as the main door is open, an engineer will come.”

Let's just cut right to the chase here, if I ever get locked in a plane's bathroom the last thing I want is a note saying to sit on the toilet and secure myself for landing. That's the last thing I'm worried about. We all know what plane bathrooms are like. They are small, they smell like shit combined with that blue stuff in the toilet and always seem like a mess. Then I found out this SpiceJet is a low-budget airline. You know that bathroom was a disaster. Probably had toilet paper stuck inside the seat and a smell that you gotta shower 2-3 times just to get off of you. 

All this is doing is adding another fear when you're stuck in a metal tube 30,000 feet in the air. The sliding lock, I don't trust it. How can you after reading this story? This is why you hit the can right before boarding. You can't go to the bathroom on a plane when the flight is under 2 hours. Be an adult and sit there unless you ate something bad and got a steaming pile of shit brewing. 

How about the note an hour in saying do not panic. A little late! I'd be panicking the moment that door didn't open the first time. We've been there to some degree. You go to jiggle the handle and it gets stuck for a second. The heart drops, you might leak out leftover pee and the next thing you know you're figuring out how to live in there. The best thing I do is panic and that's how I know I wouldn't survive the hour in there. The real question is was he smart enough to bring his phone? Sit in silence for an hour like you're Puddy staring at the back of a seat makes this 100x worse. If he's getting some quiet time in the bathroom with his phone though, you can survive just fine. 

How does one secure themselves sitting on the can? I know those seat belts on planes aren't exactly made for survival, but they are at least something. Sitting on toilet you just curl up? There's no way to properly secure yourself for landing, one little bump and you're flying off that thing. That said there are easily worse bathrooms to be locked in - port a potty is easily the worst. Can't talk me out of that one. Second though? A travel bus. I don't care if it's all your friends/family/team on the bus, that's number 2. Train might be 3 and then plane. Either way, don't hand me a note. Just get me the fuck outta there.
