What usually happens to me is I wait until I get to my hotel room. As you know, the closer you get to the toilet, the worse you have to go. And as luck would have it, as I am squeezing my butt cheeks together as I put my key in on the 25th floor of the hotel, the key card doesn't work.

I'm able to hang on, but I've got an epic shytezkrieg boiling that would rival Operation Barbarossa.

Make it to the lav, get down to business. As I'm almost done, I can smell the air freshner the FA's carry. Man, Im in the dumper, and I can smell that stuff. So it has to be bad, like, REALLY BAD. I give MYSELF a couple mercy flushes.

I finish, I was never so embarassed to step out of a lav.

Thank god the FA had a good sense of humor about it.
This all day long. My body is on clockwork 99% of the time. A few years ago on travel day to CQ, I mistakenly set my alarm for the time I wanted to leave for the airport - didn't get the normal time for my body to go through its normal routine. Hop in the car and head to the airport - coffee the whole way. About half way it hits me. No time to stop. Get randomed, of course, and walk onto the plane just before the gate is closed. Get into my FC seat and promptly head to the lav and recreate Jeff Daniels' scene in Dumb and Dumber. I was THAT guy. Super embarrassing, but it was such a sense of relief that I really didn't GAF! Pretty liberating actually😂

I always wonder how many times those coffee packs they put in the lavs to soak up the smell accidentally (or intentionally) get used to make a pot of coffee. One reason I refuse to drink airplane coffee.

You should look up what a grundle is. It taint what you think it is

Enroute back from the Caribbean one day we step out to do our obligatory lav break an hour before landing. I go into the lav and I swear I had never smelled a lav that clean and fresh EVER. I know cleaners down there and in other countries do a much better job than in the US but I was impressed. I came out of the lav and remarked to the purser that I wished all lavs smelled that good. She said that's courtesy of this. She shows me a bottle of peppermint essential oil that she ordered off Amazon. She said she places several drops on a paper towel and then puts it under the coat clip in the lav before leaving on the turn...lasts all day to prevent malodorous encounters for the crew and passengers using the lav.

There are times where I enter the hotel room and can't even get past the bathroom entry it hits so fast.

You all may want to see a doctor lol. I cant say I have ever had to go "this" bad or not able to walk past my hotel bathroom before stopping. I guess I have a rock gut or something.

All joking aside, I get that sometimes the unthinkable happens, thankfully not to me yet.

I wish I could find the animated video that was made from the program that was popular about 15-20 years ago where you could input dialogue into the cartoon characters.

But someone made one of the infamous GreatLakes Tyler Wojo incident.

Geez. Do I have to teach you guys the “Seal & Flush” method?

Seal off the inside of the bowl from the outside world with your a$$, thighs, etc. so as to not let any odor escape and then immediately flush anytime a significant amount of “content” exits your body and drops into the bowl.

The strong suction from today’s non-blue juice bowls will prevent odor from escaping into the cabin. Don’t be stingy about flushing as many times as needed.

You’re welcome.
