"That's funny...isn't that the..." Then I realized what she was doing and I yelled out,
"Um...hey..."
Apparently a few other people in the front rows saw this and started getting the woman's by shouting at the her. The woman looked at us and then looked at the exit door and realized what she was doing. The FA came out of the galley and stopped her and showed her the correct forward lavatory door. We all had a laugh when she exited the lavatory.
The FA said nothing would happen since the plane is in flight and the doors lock, the handles are disengaged.
Only on a WN flight....

Yes...only on WN would a pax get a lav mixed up with a 400 lb aircraft door, and does everyone laugh about it afterwards...
