doesn't matter when your flight's cancelled anyway.

Funny how a minor issue that was solved by giving people cocktail napkins makes the news. One of the stalls at work was out of TP. Where do I call to make that national news?

 

[Uppsala9496]

Aren't those kind of cleaning duties outsourced to a hospitality company at airports anyway?

 

[techs]

Who hasn't used something like a napkin in a pinch?

 

[rh71]

people need to get a grip...

"That's disgusting, that's just so terrible," said United passenger Gretchen Holland to ABC. "If I'm paying for a ticket, that should include the price of toilet paper, I would think."

YES IT DOES INCLUDE THE PRICE OF TOILET PAPER, IT'S CALLED A FRICKEN OVERSIGHT.

I can't believe this made news.

 

[Uppsala9496]

If it is bad press against United or Boeing, it will be in the news.

lol. ALWAYS check that there's adequate toilet paper BEFORE dropping the deuce. Sometimes you get lucky and it's a nice slick one where you barely have to wipe. But if you get one that's like drywall compound, you definitely want to have at least a full roll at your disposal. You wont know until it's dropped, so always be prepared for the worse.

It's hilarious though how this is a huge outrage. It's not like it's a cruise ship or something, just wait till you land and go to the bathroom at the airport lol. It's not like they broke somebody's guitar or something this time.

why is a cocktail napkin 'disgusting' to that customer? get the fuck over yourself.

 

[CrimsonWolf]

One time I was flying the bathroom ran out of soap. It was a regional jet with only one bathroom, so the flight attendant gave me a sanitizing hand wipe I could use. Well holy shit, if I had only known I could piss and moan and get media attention, I wouldn't have just said "thank you" and gone on with my day.

It's a funny and stupid mistake. Eyeroll, sure. Outrage, no.

can't get enough layers between the poop and the hand, probably.

That's what soap is for. Germ-X in a pinch as long as the next stop isn't food.

 

[surfsatwerk]

I keep wipes in my carry on for emergencies.

 

[Midwayman]

Just wipe Indian style.

I live in Houston. I'm moving to SF. Guess I'm stuck with UA, but seriously. Don't forget the GD TP.

I'd take Delta in a heartbeat but I'll be damned if I move to SLC or Hotlanta.

First class or nothing. Hence why I haven't been on a plane in nearly 10 years.

*shudder*

I went on a plane for my first time a few years ago. Well 4 flights: 2 to go and 2 to come back. Was awesome. I don't know why people find so much things to complain about when it comes to flying. The view is just amazing. The thought of being like 15k feet in the air or whatever it is the planes fly at, is just incredible. The bigger planes go up to like 35k if I recall. Those ones even have a TV.
