Airplane lavatory question

Took a flight from GRR to ORD a couple years ago, there was probably 12 or 15 people in wheel chairs waiting in a line to board. Once we landed every one of them got up and left the plane like an 18 year old kid.
 
You mean y'all don't chug a gallon of milk before boarding and let Jesus take the wheel?

I've never been inside an airplane lav but I have been inside coach bus lavs when I was 10 and half my size - they were tight then. I can't imagine a 737 airline lav be roomier.
 
If they do make the bathrooms big enough to meet the 2 x 95th percentile rule, i'm buying the cheapest seat I can and then spending the flight in the bathroom's comfort. ;)
 
So, you compain about wheelchair users not following instruction while you sneak into first class to use the bathroom. Might that be considered a double standard?
One time at a PGATour golf tournament, I used the VIP port-a-potty while not holding a VIP badge. Sometimes I'm a rebel and a rule breaker. I think it dates back to 1973 when I was 10 years old and had to use the bathroom down Jersey Shore. Back then the bathrooms were pay to wee. Ten cents if I recall. My father told me crawl under the door to save the 10 cents or maybe he didn't have a dime on him. It brought a streak of future bathroom transgressions.

They say the limbo dance was invented by cheapskates entering pay toilets.

I remember seeing those bathroom stalls with coin slots.
 
Your dog really doesn't have a choice.
Sure, but I also plan.ahead and piss before getting on the plane and don't drink like a camel.

I had one flight that I ended up on the hallway chair. The guy at the window chair went like 7 or 8 times. After the 3rd, im like, no guy, we're switching chairs, you're not waking me up again!
 
I drink a lot of water when flying and go to the washroom at least twice on 5 hour flights ( still too young for depends ).

I go through a 1 litre bottle when doing those long days.

I am medium/large and find the A320 washrooms big enough but anytime I fly on a regional aircraft ( Dash 8/Q400 ) I get an idea what it must have been like to serve on a WW2 submarine, but a lot louder lol.

The old blue water lav's in our corporate jets were quite an ordeal when the macerating pump clogged while flying over the Atlantic.

Today, the Gulfstream jets nearly all feature a full fuselage width aft lav, (about 8 feet across), with a good sized sink/cabinet and mirror setup, a big toilet, and sometimes a shower.

In the pic below, to the right of the bed, clockwise from top left, Sink, Shower, Vacuum toilet, Chair, about 9x8 feet total space. We do have wheelchairs that are aisle width and they will roll into the aft lav and can stow in the spot where a chair might otherwise be.

Last year, a young person got stuck in our aft lav, because the latch came apart. There was a bit of panic, but we were able to repair it and open it.
