I know things like this have been posted here time and again. But, I never thought I'd be living it or ever making a post under this thread.
Here I am in shorts, boat shoes and a T shirt (orange lanyard and "I Am Investment Grade" tag attached to my non-crew looking carry-on) with my family getting seated on a Delta MD-90 in RSW. Why so casual? Because I can! I'm riding real-deal tickets, since nonreving throughout FL in spring break season is a nightmare. But I digress. The captain makes a welcome PA using his full name and that of the "assisting" FO. "We are both former U.S. Navy pilots with over 43 years of combined professional aviation experience to get you safely to Atlanta today." No orange either.
Captain of DL 2427 on 3/26/2016, you may be a dandy pilot, blessed with a stellar assistant. But, you sir, are a tool!

during cruise I gave controls to my CA, telling him I would leave for the lavatory. he said okay fine but insisted that I should pee in the sink instead the toilet bowl, so it would flow overboard right away and we would save on fuel. he had done it for years....

In your case, you could also just also switch off your autopilot when more than 50 feet AGL. Hang on, Marvin! Click, Click, Boom! Problem solves itself.
