Worse than feet on bulkheads

vetrade above makes a valid point, about the cleanliness of bathroom taps. This is why you will often find me standing behind a toilet entry door waiting for someone to push it open from the other side so I don't have to touch its handle. The disappearance of paper towels from most public toilets is a frustration for me, as I always use them to open the doors after drying my hands and then throw them away later on. It is NOT an excuse not to wash!
 
at changi everything is on sensor to avoid these exact issues.
and the bathrooms do not have doors either to go in, just to the cubicles

I hate opening doors to go into public bathrooms. There is no point to them. And much better after washing hands to dry them on a paper towel and walk out. Should also be automatic flushers too. And water pumps.

Somewhat creepy... just standing there. Waiting. In a public toilet :)

We had an issue with paper towels being thrown on the floor just outside the door and a particular person, thanks CTV, would use it on the door handles and then throw the paper towel on the floor once in the hallway.

Answer. Put a bin just outside the door, right? Nope. This turd would throw the paper towel towards the bin but miss it most times and walk past it.

I enjoyed that visit to the other office manager that day :)

Oh, and then there was the day I was sitting in my toilet cubicle, quitely going about my business and I heard someone next to me doing their business..... followed by a river of urine heading under the wall towards me. I guess a squatter that doesnt squat very well. And trust me, this isnt the worse Ive seen in this building. Never had these issues before.

Can't be any worse than the blood smears all over the cubicle floor that I saw the other week....
 
Reminds me of my visits to public toilets in China in 99. Everything apart from what you had previously eaten, had to be delposited into the little bins. Was an unforgettable spectacle.

That reminds of our trip to the Genting Highlands early 1980s - we were staying at the casino hotel, which had a lake with pedal boats, I thought I would use the ladies toilets there, but the floor was wet and "water " running out the entrance. BUT IT WASNT WATER !!!!! The smell was atrocious - our son was counting how long I was in there - approx. 10 seconds before I realised what it was !! :shock:

I tend not to eat from sofas though. Tables I do.

True... but as we've seen from other stories on this thread... the table might be even worse by people touching it with their hands! Best solution is perhaps to wipe the table with a wipe, or just hold the plate of food in our hands.

:eek: shock horror

Working on some construction ships some low life would smear hand rails and walls with feaces or leave there deposits un-flushed. Way to go for spreading germs.

Same flight. Other side of the cabin. I'm not sure what's worse: feet on the bulkhead of that he took the last serve of salmon leaving me with the chicken. To be fair he chicken was delightful.

Anyone get annoyed by pax in row 3 putting their bag underneath their own seat rather than the overhead without asking? Happened twice this month now. I was lucky to get an empty seat next to me for my own bag and a new footrest for one flight but had to fit mine under as well and just shoved his as far forward as I could.

next time I'll just move it to the empty centre seat and watch his face when he realises his bag isn't there :)

But it doesn't go under your own seat- it's under the seat in front. I'd probably say something first, but be happy to move it if it wasn't moved by the owner. I need leg room if I fly economy.

Pax was sitting in a Bulkhead Row . Row 3 (VA 738) or Row 4 (QF 738)

The part about moving someones bag was a joke Pushka.
 
Had a pax in 1A yesterday who was lounging all over her seat like she owned it.

Feet hanging over the armrest and feet on pax 1D lap while slurping down her homemade coughtail and watching movies on her phone. Practically lying on her seat and stretching out to the bulk head and eventually some yoga positions by laying on her seat and legs in the air/against the back of the seat.

Of course, being about 2 years old and having the sweetest smile and a very happy disposition, she got away with it. Cutest pax in J yesterday!

No photos as photos of minors is creepy.

Either ask the pax to move the bag, or report to the crew. Either way gets it moved.
