We have just lifted off on a journey from Warsaw to London Stansted Airport. I, as a flight attendant, am stationed at the rear of the aircraft for this specific flight. Right after takeoff, the cabin crew is liberated, and shortly after that, the passengers are too. As I commence preparing the on-board trolley for the in-flight service, a passenger approaches the rear.
He casts a puzzled look around before fixing his gaze on the handle of the emergency exit door and attempting to open it. Naturally, I promptly intervene.
Me: “What in the world do you think you are doing?!”
Passenger: *Nearly stunned* “Uh, isn’t it the toilet?”
How could a person fail to notice not one, not two, but THREE signs indicating the toilets to his immediate left and right in the galley, and then come to the conclusion that the very door he entered, with the extremely clear Perspex glass revealing the view from nearly 10,000 feet and ascending, must be the toilets?!
