Will some of you tell me about the door knobs on the bathrooms in your homes? Maybe submit some pics in the comments section if you don’t mind? I’ll tell you why; it has been a burning question among crew members as we sit on jumpseats near lavs for years and observe passengers struggle mightily to enter aircraft lavatories, that we must be missing something.
Do ANY of you have a square door knob in the direct center of the bathroom door?
Anyone?
I’ll wait.
Over and over for years we have watched as folks approach the door, latch on to that ashtray right next to the round door knob and pull on it until they yank it right out of the door. Usually they hand it to us with a glare like it’s our fault, and then turn the knob, open the door, and enter. I have nothing for this. We just look at each other and shrug. Any more, none of us have anything. It is universal though. You can ask any flight attendant from any airline worldwide. Things must just look different at altitude, is that it??
While I’m asking about things you do at home, that we all kind of wonder about…
Do you really floss at the table and then just throw the used floss on your dinner plate?
Then do you leave it there knowing that someone else is going to clear your plate for you and have to look at it?
You didn’t really think that through did you?
And maybe, just maybe you get all comfy and take those socks off (ok, stop there) and give those dogs a good massage in your living room, but do you clip your toenails there too? And just let the toenails drop? And put it on speakerphone so a whole lot of people can listen to that disgusting sound? And leave those nasties there when you get up and go to bed? Nah, didn’t think so.
Well, your flight crew has been just wondering:
Do you do that at home???
