Passenger commits unspeakable act on NZ1 25/11 LAX-AKL J cabin lav I just got off NZ

I just got off NZ1 25/11 LAX-AKL.

A passenger committed an unspeakable act in the Business Premier lavatory that's right behind the flight deck door. Said passenger attempted, but did not fully succeed, in washing the evidence down the lavatory sink.

I checked the hand soap and the facial lotions and they were nothing like what was in the sink. I cleaned it up myself using the ample supplies of towels NZ has in their BP lavs--I did not think any of NZ's delightful F/As should have to deal with such nonsense.

(The flight was otherwise fantasic.)

Don't mean to be rude, but do people on FT really want to know about this sort of 'crap'? Somethings should just be kept to oneself (IMO)

This post isn't relevant to Air Points. It should stay in TravelBuzz or Omni. (or just kill the thread, I was incensed when I posted and it seems irrelevant now!)

Actually I think it's relevant. This is why some people were so annoyed with the Rico sexual talk (not just people on this board, but NZ flight attendants). Some people are pervs and we want to discourage them, not encourage them.

The guilty guy always goes back to the scene to hear what people are saying.

That's pretty sick.

If they really needed to "unwind", surely a tissue would've been courteous.

Quite recently, as I walked past the larger toilet at Door 3L on the 777-300, a young couple emerged, bold as brass, and returned to their PE seats.. I had a quiet word with them, but I have to admit I was taken aback.

Mostly I was taken aback because for many years now my tactics have clearly been in error: Previously I have wined and dined women I liked, plying them with sweet nothings in the ear, flowers and fragrance. It turns out that a faecal smeared vacuum lavatory bowl and whistling sink plughole are all that were required for seduction. When I think of the money that I have wasted....

These seem to have been enhanced away on NZ7/8 from both personal and colleague's observations. Just soap in the BP lavs now.

So if I have read Genesis Chapter 38 correctly he had "One off the wrist in memory of Onan?"

As with NZ1/2 in my experience too. Same soap and dispensers as in the loo at the Koru lounge - even felt watered down.

"Enhanced away", lol.

That's a shame though, I always made use of those.

"We've simplified the complexity of our bathroom accessories by enhancing all passengers to choose from the available one". Seems to follow the current trend of downgrades described as enhancements ...

Agreed. Normally I'm not too fussed but I had the driest hands and wanted something for them. Definitely a step down.

Maybe he was trying to prevent blood clots.

It is not an unspeakable act if you speak about it Joshua is it?
