What do you do when your on an airplane, have to pee, but the person next to you is sleeping ?

Question

I was on an airplane sitting next to the window and had to pee. Both people that i was sitting by were sleeping. I didnt want to wake them up. What should i have done instead of waiting for them to wake up ?

Answer 1

You should have pissed on them.

Answer 2

WAKE THEM UP!

Answer 3

Well, I've learned that peeing is important.

Holding it might lead to urinary infections.

I wake my fellow travelers as gently as I can and politely ask them to let me pass.

And I apologize as sincerely as possible.

But when one's got to go, one's got to go.

Answer 4

Just get up excuse your self and go to hold it is real bad for your health you will probably never see these people again so if you have to go then GO

Answer 5

i would carefully walk past them (squeezez past them) and if they wake up say excuse me or sorry but i have to use the restroom

Answer 6

err....thats hard.

I found it hard enough trying to walk over one person......I find it hard enough to walk over 2 people who are awake!

what do you do??

either try to take the longest stride of your life and risk snapping your groin in 2.

or holding on.

if you think you may have a slight chance of getting over, go for it...even if you accidently nudge them lightly, they may not wake.

a mans gotta go when he's gotta go!

Answer 7

I would try to pass by them without waking them up and if they do, i would just tell them that i'm just going to use the restroom....sorry to bother you.

Answer 8

First talk to them.  Sometimes people are just resting with their eyes closed.  Tap them gently on the arm and ask them to excuse you so you can get by.  If those things don't work, push your call button and ask the flight attendant to wake them.

However, I usually time my bathroom trips to avoid this situation.  When my neighbours look like they are about to settle in to sleep, I ask if I can get by so I don't have to wake them and step over them later.

Generally, avoid lineups by going to the bathroom ahead of the crowd before landing.
