Before boarding a flight, I’ve always made sure to make my children go to the bathroom. Perhaps this guy decided he did not need to take this precaution. As it was, he caused the flight to lose its place in the takeoff queue — affecting all the other passengers on his flight, the flight crew and potentially folks on connecting flights.

There’s no reason to think he wouldn’t do it again the next time they were in queue. The pilot did the right thing.

I do the same thing with my kids.
I refer to it as the 3rd rule of the infantry.

Rule 1: Keep your butt down.
Rule 2: Never volunteer for anything.
Rule 3: Never miss a chance to eat, sleep, or use the can

Perhaps this guy decided he did not need to take this precaution.

Or, he had an extremely short connection time.
