    Font - AITA for using the bathroom frequently on the flight? Recently I flew home for the holidays. The flight was three hours long. I read that you dehydrate twice as fast on a plane as you do elsewhere, so I packed two 40oz water bottles and planned to drink both of them over the course of the flight (should note I'm a pretty big person and an athlete). I booked a middle seat because I'm on a budget and I also don't particularly care about the aisle/window and I used the bathroom four times ov

    Font - When I got up for the fourth time, she told me I was rude for not following her request. I told her it was either that, dehydrate, or wet myself and going to the bathroom seemed like the best option. She told me no one needs to drink enough to pee four times in less than three hours unless they have a bladder issue. She then asked me if I had a bladder issue and I said no, not that that's your business. I asked if she wanted to switch seats so I didn't have to climb over her, but she refu

    Font - AgentAlpo 23 hr. ago YTA Three hours on a plane isn't going to dehydrate you enough to harm you. If you plan on doing this on your next flight, pay for the aisle seat or get ready to have another pissed off seat mate. Also as far as her wanting to sleep, it doesn't matter what time of day it is. Some people don't fly well and they sleep to help get through the flight. 24.8k Reply Share

    Font - Fainora 23 hr. ago . YTA if you're going to chug 80oz of water in 3 hours get a d aisle seat. If you're pissing that much you're nowhere near dehydrated btw. 7.8k Reply Share

    Font - Estrellathestarfish 17 hr. ago Haha! It's not like this was a health thing, not only was Op not dehydrated, he was approaching the danger zone for water intoxication. The kidneys can process 0.8- 1 litre per hour max - that's between 2.4 litre and 3 I in three hours. If you go over that you're risking water intoxication. OP had 2.371 in 3 hours. 1.8k Reply

    Font - superswellcewlguy. 23 hr. ago edited 23 hr. ago Who cares if you're slightly dehydrated on a 3 hour flight? It doesn't affect your health at all, especially if you rehydrate after you land. And she's right, nobody needs to be drinking 80oz of water in a flight where all you're doing is sitting or going to the bathroom. Less than half of that would keep you plenty hydrated. YTA for being inconsiderate to your seatmate based on some irrational aversion to being slightly dehydrated. 4.9k Rep

    Font - mks221 23 hr. ago YTA. Four times in three hours, barring a medical issue, is insane. Most people can go that long without getting up once, and I promise they are not dangerously dehydrated after the flight. If you're that concerned about dehydration and plan to do this again, book an aisle seat next time. 2.6k Reply Share

    Font - whatsmypassword 73. 23 hr. ago YTA, so you purposefully take the middle seat have to get up four times to pee and then bother the aisle seat person each time? Total move. 1.1k Reply Share

    Font - ConstaLobo 23 hr. ago YTA. You don't get that dehydrated on a flight to have to pee 4 times in 3h! You shouldn't even have to go once, if you went before boarding. You drank on that flight more water than you are supposed to drink in an entire day!!! Why did you think you needed to drink that much?!?! And if you're going to drink that much water, book the aisle seat. 1.0k Reply Share

    Font - Notwastingtimeiswear. 21 hr. ago edited 8 hr. ago YTA and serious question, do you have orthorexia or another obsessive or compulsive issue? You don't owe me an answer but just think on it. A 3 hour flight does not necessitate this much water, and to even have calculated the exchange rate of water for earth vs in flight is... not typical, to say the least. You are allowed to pee when you need to, but gentle YT A because bro, you clearly have bigger issues which are impacting your day to d
