It must be a coincidence

Flying from LAX to HKG.

Sitting at the window seat

Man on aisle seat sleeping since takeoff 

3 hours into the flight and intending to sleep, but feel some urge and want to empty the bladder before settling to sleep (just in case)

Wondering whether/how to wake him up without being rude. Man seems perfectly asleep and hasn't changed posture since takeoff.

In desperation, tried to "commune with non-physical forces" to ask for help to get him to wake up.

The intuitive answer was: OK just knock 3 times on the on in-flight entertainment screen (at the back of the chair) to signal the time when you want to wake him up

After 30(?) minutes of waiting, I felt restless (and more urgent), so I knocked 3 times… no reaction. I knocked three times again… then the man just wakes up all of a sudden.

We both went to the toilet, and while I am typing this, he went back to sleep again (apparently).


I feel like this should be "AITA for waking a fellow passenger up by asking non-physical forces to wake him up instead of tapping on his shoulder"?
