I love when they put me in a room with conjoined doors right next to a F/A. I get to listen to them chat away on skype until the wee hours of the morning, hack up a lung from all the cigs, or wake up to their Beyonce ringtone a half hour before my alarm so they can take their hour to get ready.

We spend 16 hours a day within 3 feet of each other.

Really, it's really, really okay if we're on different floors.

Really. It's okay.

... And how true that is!

At least you two halves of a very comfortable bed to sleep it off. The curse of a F/O: even when you sleep... not a king.

That'll teach me to be sarcastic: typed the above on the van... Adjacent rooms, double bed. I'll just curl up in the fetal position and softly (so as not to disturb my neighbor) cry myself to sleep.

Those who believe it can't happen to them for landing at the wrong airport with all the goo goo phonics, paper charts, and operating NAVs on their aircraft

Yah, that way you can look under the mattress for the tattered skin mag.

No, pull out the bottom drawer of the dresser. They're usually under there.

You can't expect them to go to bed without tucking the cats in can you?

Don't you love being on the same floor with the drunken guests from the wedding that's being held in the hotel -- people that stay in a hotel maybe once every five years, and hoot and holler up and down the hall all night?

Or maybe even worse, being on the same floor with the 15 different youth soccer teams in town for a tournament, who run back and forth all night among all their friends' rooms?
