Ryanair - to pay to pee or not to pay to pee?
Oh Ryanair, how you mock us. Yesterday, every news source in the world (well, many of them) were abuzz with the news that Ryanair exec Michael O'Leary announced he'd be introducing coin operated bathrooms on his planes.
Normally, when an airline owner announces something on the news, you take it seriously. Apparently that is no longer possible when it comes to stuff O'Leary says.
The latest update in the "paid bathroom concept" comes from a Ryanair spokesperson who's actual statement was:
"Maybe O'Leary was just taking the p*ss this morning. Michael makes a lot of this stuff up as he goes along and while this has been discussed internally there are no immediate plans to introduce it".
Someone might want to keep O'Leary away from the press for the time being, before you know it, he'll be saying something really stupid like that he wants his flight attendants giving free oral sex on his upcoming transatlantic flights.

Obviously this isn't going to come to pass but it did remind me that when I was a kid most public restroom stalls required a dime to gain entry. Of course when I got into a bathroom and found out I needed money to pee, I never went back to my mother to ask for a dime, I crawled under the stall door instead. Makes one think though, how on earth did they ever get away with pay toilets and what was the premise for charging an already paying customer to use the facilities?
The last time I saw a pay stall it was in the early '70s in the Sheraton Palace dining room's restrooms in San Francisco.

I would never book a flight on an airline that charges to go to the bathroom. That is terrible

Really, Sandra? You'd rather pay $100 more for a flight than pay $1 on the off chance that you need to use the restroom in flight? Ryanair is the absolute cheapest airline in Europe and you might save hundreds rather than paying extra for a free bathroom trip. Ridiculous.
