You can be stopped and still be taxiing. Holding short of an active runway, holding behind traffic...

But nope. Were gonna be hard on for rules, turn it into a long discussion, delay the plane and let it turn into a news story.

You're giving waitresses way too much credit.

By definition, taxiing means you're moving.

This plane was stopped on the tarmac for over an hour. Guy should be allowed to piss.

No need, I'd gladly take the $10k.

Wonder if it would have been different had it been a woman and her reason was "woman problems"...?

I hope people just shit and piss everywhere the next time a plane sits idle for a few hours.

I wish that actually happened because the news story covering it would be hilarious

Taxi instructions can include waiting without movement. Just because you're stopped doesn't mean you're not still taxiing. Websters (or whomever google gets their definitions from) can be wrong. It's ok.

The more I think about this... they should've dragged this guy off the plane UA style. They were way too nice to him.

The point is, the plane was stopped for over an hour. Dude should be able to piss.

I'm going to start wearing the StadiumPal on flights just in case.

Might violate the liquids rule, though. Not sure.

[snow1868]

I'm flying tomorrow, hope I'm not on the news.

Not sure how great of a mental picture that would be. If you want to be disgusted, look up the video a stewardess or passenger took on a Saudi Arabian flight and see what the passengers did mostly to the bathroom and some of the cabin.

Remember back in the day - the only fluids you had to worry about were from people joining the mile high club.

30 minutes. It was 30 minutes that they were sitting there. Might have even been less than that... I know when I was watching the news this morning it was 'minutes' that I heard and not hours.

They were already sitting there for 30 minutes, who knows how much longer it could have been? Not to mention, the guy DID try to hold it the first time he asked/attempted to use the bathroom.

Delta is the one who made a big deal of it. Dude was in and out of the bathroom in under a minute. Not a big deal. Carry on.

"Rules are rules" people are my favorite.

[Climb2safety]

Of course, right before takeoff a dude locking himself in the bathroom to assemble God knows what ain't cool either.

I guess, but he could easily do it in the air if there was actually something he could assemble.

Surgery. Fuck surgery. I can't sit for 2-3 days now. I feel like I just got violated, which is pretty much the truth. And not a god damned thing for pain except ibuprofen because...pillheads. And since I was one for a few months, I guess that's just karma. It also helps. So awkward having to call my old connections after so long.

Sorry you don't like to follow rules.

I hope next time you get rear ended the guy who's at fault "just really had to pee"

Yeah, because that's a very similar situation.

Giving people permission to not follow rules because they have to pee?

[Rodey]

This situation is akin to a cop not pulling you over for going 5 mph over the speed limit.

[Rodey]

And we get it, DSM, you're a cuck for the airlines.

[DMBstandUP1984]

I am a big big fan of following rules..but when I have to pee I'm going to pee. If the fight attendant wants to give me some guff on the way back? I'll shrug and apologize
