But seriously, does the airline realize the ramifications of charging for using their airplane lavatories? Forget the fact that airplane bathrooms are usually creepy, if not plain gross (but please believe me, if you don't already know for yourself, they are model-home wonderful next to those on commuter trains.... still an experience I bear bone-deep scars from). But what are your other options if you decide you don't want to spend $5 for this "luxury"? Are there cans, jars or buckets available free of charge? You just know there will be a wise guy (or girl) who will threaten the flight attendant with a "what if I don't pay" scenario.... what then? If I was a flight attendant, I would not take that chance, even if it came out of my own paycheck!
I guess it's a sign of the times... we seem to be paying for more and more of life's taken-for-granted freebies. But aren't some things sacred? Charge me for the ketchup packets, plastic grocery bags and the rubber band around my newspaper, but don't mess with the queen's throne! Some people will never get it....
The plus side of it all? Look for stock in the Kimberly-Clark corporation to go through the roof. Why? Because they make Depends adult diapers, of course! Ah, the bright side of things! Gotta love it....
Have a great weekend!

I think it's ridiculous for an airline to charge a fee for using the bathroom! You would think with the price a person pays to fly that it should be a given. I guess it's just another sign that the economy is in worse shape than we realize!
They should pay ME to use them!
I agree with Judy...they should pay us to use the nasty things. If they are going to charge $5 for me to use their restroom, it better be the Taj Mahal of bathrooms. I mean, someone better be in their powdering my *$$! LOL! I can't wait to hear your take on the chicken McNugget story. My husband and I stayed up WAY to late pondering that one, the other night! Thanks for making me laugh, Cindy! Your blog ROCKS!
LOLOL Emily!
