There's No Place Like The Lavatory

on a flight back to seoul from san francisco a female passenger was about to step in the lavatory when she called me and said that there was somebody sleeping inside.

WHAT?!

i hurriedly checked and saw that the person inside sleeping was a crew member! she was seated in the bowl (of course with the lid closed) with her head bobbing sideways. she was probably in a deep slumber for she didn't hear us open the door.

the passenger was understanding and just went out to find another vacant one.

well you see dear readers the lavatory has sometimes become a refuge for us from the chaos of the cabin and galley. in a 12 hour flight there are times passengers can be so demanding and would ask anything that they could hoard inflight. juice? nuts? beer? coke every 10 minutes is just too much!

the only mistake that my colleague did was SHE DIDN'T LOCK THE DOOR. hehehe....
