No one ever wants to be in a crew lounge at all and if you are it is for reasons that you are unhappy about.

examples:
1. You commute and had to come in 8 hours early because of ________ and you sit there for 8 hours waiting for your showtime.
2. You get done but miss a flight home by 3 minutes and now the next flight is 7 hours away....you sit in the crew room.
3. You have a big gap built into your schedule where you fly, then sit in the crew room for a few hours and then fly again...awful.
4. You are one of those nasty pilots who use the crew room as a crashpad and sleep there multiple nights when you should be in a hotel or crashpad.

example 4 is why you dont want to be in the lounge, they smell like people are living there and are equally clean.
