Why can’t a passenger use the bathroom while the airplane is refueling?
I’ve never heard of that rule. Flying is awful.
Refueling only takes a few minutes ,D’oh
“Why can’t a passenger use the bathroom while the airplane is refueling?”
Well, if I let loose with a methane cocktail of my own in the John, I can see the potential danger. BOOM!
Sparks?
What other ‘great’ rules for OUR safety do you think they have?
Just what you get when you treat your PAYING public like cattle on the way to the ‘sleep room’.
Fast food getting there, again- someone turned one screw too many times and the whole system slows down to a crawl. They are really going to enhance their own ‘death knell’ when you have to ‘argue’ with a robot if your ‘chicken fingers’ come up one short etc.
‘They’ have been replacing breathing people for awhile now, pour your own drinks, fetch your napkins and straw, pay before order placed, swipe your own credit card allow hes in the she room and vice versa with the ‘others’ going wherever they think they want to go.
I almost ‘lost’ it going into a Courthouse the ‘other day’, had me down to my shirt and trousers, after removing belt, pants slipped down...good thing my reactions are still somewhat swift and had a long tailed shirt on as I do tend to ‘travel’ light, commando style. Caught one of the wanders grinning when my pants slipped and (of course) I asked him what was so F’n Funny, did he enjoy seeing an old guy humiliated in public, sure glad I gave this Government & YOU 8 years of my life so I could ensure this treament from people I pay.
Room grew ‘quiet’ and I wisely STFU as I wasn’t in a position to ‘wrestle’ 3 or 4 of the goons - needed one hand to hold my pants up and the SOBs probably would have charged me with ‘indecent exposure’.
Will be interested to see what happens ‘next time’ as I had a nice chat with THE Clerk of Court (where I had non court’business’-delivering documents) about their procedures.
Most courthouses do the complete wand and ‘strip down’ guess next time someone starts with the belt removal etc will either have to ‘fake’ a heart attack or ask if the plate in my ??? would set off the ‘alarm’....
Because she might have stayed in the restroom after the refueling when it was trying to take off. Too many wackadoodles out there these days.
It’s a fad to pee in the airplane these days. Civilization is dead.
Whatever the reason is, there should be some judgement involved.
I suppose also, it all depends on the circumstances.
I remember a flight headed East about 20 years ago on SWA with a change of planes in Phoenix.
Having the time, I spotted a restaurant that was advertising Chili. Being in SW/Mex cuisine territory I opted for the chili. I got mild food poisoning.
Preparing to take off on the next leg, it kicked in. I had to use the bathroom bad. Now!
Same response. Not allowed.
I just responded calmly, "I ate some bad food in the airport restaurant and need the bathroom now; otherwise it will be embarrassing for me, and miserable for the next 4 hours for other passengers in this section of the plane.
I was allowed to use the bathroom.
