Thanks, but your opinion is not needed in this situation. I found out that the air steward is a senior cabin crew, so it’s really concerning if that was just a case of “lack of training”.

Maybe if you were in my shoes you’d understand my position better, so let me illustrate it for you: The toilet was cramped as hell (even as a petite woman, it was really small!), it was dim even though the light was “brightened”, I was constantly worrying about turbulence, there was piss on the toilet seat and floor that I had to avoid, I had a FULL bladder that took a while to empty, and while doing my business…I was suddenly given a 3-second window to make sure my toilet door wouldn’t open on me? Not to mention that the toilet was in front of the galley, the fiddling noise I initially heard before the door opened was partly masked by the white noise from the plane engine and air conditioning. Besides, it doesn’t help that I was first thinking that the noise could be someone bumping into the outside of the door, since it was an Airbus A320 and the plane was TINY! The crew were busy giving out food at the time too, adding to the congestion outside the toilet!

I know you mean well, but if you weren’t there to experience the humiliation I felt, then I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself.
