Inconvenient convenience
A passenger aboard an Indian domestic flight was locked in the toilet for over an hour, after the door malfunctioned. As the plane prepared for landing, a flight attendant advised him to close the commode lid and sit on it and secure yourself
. He was only freed after an engineer boarded the plane at its destination.
SpiceJet has issued an apology, saying it regretted the "inconvenience caused to the passenger".

Under the circumstances, a convenience causing inconvenience is kinda ironic.
The incident has taken place at a time when India's aviation minister has said it [sic] would set up 'war rooms' at the country's six major airports to address issues around passenger inconveniences.

The provision of toilet facilities appears to be a wider problem for Indian airways, requiring a more coordinated solution from the aviation ministry. Or the minister himself even, personally stocking the war rooms
with professional cleaning products. (shrug)
