Airline Lavatory Tips

CourtesyOver on the Poop Report, ("Your #1 Source, for Your #2 Business"), a flight attendant has provided several excellent airline lavatory tips. Though some of the tips seem, well, obvious ("Wear shoes"...I'm shuddering at the thought of the alternative), the tips are interesting, if not always feasible. In brief, she claims:
  • Do not touch anything.
  • Roll up long pants.
  • Not all lavs are created equal.
  • Time your washroom breaks carefully.
  • Use an unused pouch of coffee grounds -- or full face masks -- to prevent odors from attacking you.
  • Do not wait until the last minute to go.
These are reasonable, of course, though I have three more:
  1. Go before you board the plane.
  2. Stop playing in there.
  3. Wipe up the splashes after you make them.
