Mini Rant
Flew YEG-YYZ J recently on a 7 am run. Let’s start at the MLL in YEG, every other table a mess with only one staff member working, coffee machine out of order, nothing but white toast/jam, yogurt & cereal. On to the E90, IC no-where in site, Y class taking the overhead luggage space. In the air, Y folks start using J washroom, and eventually someone decides that actually relieving themselves all over the bathroom is a neat thing to do. Very un-impressed

Men are real pigs, what can you do?! Slack crew, you got the short straw today. If I'm in an aisle seat and the hoards from the back start using the front toilet, I tend to keep my legs out just enough in the aisle to trip them when they head forward. At least it draws attention and glaring looks from the rest of we anointed in the front cabin! But it comes down to FAs.

Put your rant in this thread.

It has perhaps a better chance of being rectified.

I'm pretty sure at YEG, one of the people who usually works the lounge, gets sent down to ticketing if there's a lot of work to do there. And with all the problems in Europe these days, I suspect ticketing was an absolute zoo.
2 FA's (the legal minimum), or 3 FA's on that E90 flight

What always amazes me is the guys that take off their shoes and go to the bathroom in their stocking feet. 
(I've never seen a woman do that.)

Well, it seems to be perfectly OK in the Western world to have a dog, whom you incidentally just walked through the streets and other dog's business, sleep over in the same bed as the owner, so how much worse could bathroom trips in socks be? 
FYI: I find both disgusting.

But only in those little socks we get in J - I stopped last year when someone relieved themselves all over the floor. I mean c'mon people! How hard is it to aim?

He also has his feet cleaned when he comes back from his walks, and people take their shoes off at the front door!

.I also take the time to clean up previous messes as I feel guilty about being blamed when next person heads
in and believes that I was the one with lousy aim.

I think that is pretty cruel - dogs need exercise to stay healthy, not to mention most dogs I know (from teacups to huskies) love nothing more than bombing around a park with a ball, frisbee etc.
