Why don’t airport bathroom stalls open out?!
 
How am I supposed to shimmy my bag ain there and get the door shut without touching all kinds of stuff including the toilet.

The real question is why don't they have one of those little occupied/unoccupied signs when the door is open or locked.

Why do most doors to the bathroom require you to pull instead of push when leaving?

I wash my hands, but I see about 33% of people do not. How many dingers have I touched thru the handle to leave a bathroom.

Don’t get me started on our hepatitis Petri dish called the forward lav...

Meh, if you survive testing the face herpes applicator on the flight deck then you'll survive the forward incubator.

When the captain tells me to put my face in his lap...I DO.

Our personal observations tally 100%. 1/3 of dudes don't wash their hands. Total disregard of their fellow humans. They'll then proceed to shake hands, grab a milk jug from Starbucks, open a door, touch a screen.

Along with driving with highbeams on at all times and having conversations on speakerphone in public, this is evidence in the total decline in civility.

And yes, there should not be a requirement to grab a doorhandle to exit a public restroom.

Forward lav...... the source of at least 90% of our fume events.

If you gave up on the bean burritos those would get less frequent.

Just sayin...;)

Can’t remember where I was (KIND?) but on a turn I got a case of the meat sweats pretty bad and Quasimodo-walked into ****ter with haste. The stalls were extra deep and allowed one to fully enter with rollaboard in tow, make a comfortable 180, and get bidness dun. Best part was, if you’re a “forward thinker”, your forehead has no chance of making contact with the handle of your bag. As pleasurable an experience it was, you’d think I’d remember such a glorious commode.

With people’s general lack of SA, they’d throw the doors open without checking to see if there was anyone on the other side (like they do on airplane lavs) and mayhem would ensue! :rolleyes:
