My longtime AA f/a friend remembers when the 1970's issued square red woven blankets with blue and white accent trim were frequently sited used for Rockaway area beach family gatherings. Seemed they were a popular souvenir among those returning from visiting relatives in the Caribbean.

FWIW, I witnessed a very attractive woman who had been seated in an MCE seat swipe a blanket from F when she was getting off the aircraft at SJC recently......

Perhaps the immediately previous wording may explain? 
"...she got Economy drinks (No Champagne) and her meal came from Economy. She made a half assed attempt at both but I made sure that she got neither."
That is, she received food and drink from the class she paid for, not Club World offerings.

That is just pane weird. The "D. B. Cooper" ladder and hatch are not accessed via the lavatory. Maybe the lav was inoperative and she wouldn't say?
I have seen similar - on a SCL-PMC-PUC-USH the FAs had closed one of the two lavs to store their excess baggage (as well as prohibiting use of the exit row so they could take breaks in those seats).

You will laugh on this one...
DFW-AUS in Y yesterday...32 minute flight.
Got up to use restroom during the flight.
FA sitting on jump seat in back and has restroom access blocked with a seat belt. Had literally placed a seat belt as a sort of rope which prevented anyone access to bathroom.
When I asked her about it, she just laughed and said it was "to prevent anyone using the back as an escape in the event of an emergency"...
I have flown at least hundreds of flights over the years - there is a first time for everything...

On business trips, everyone, including the boss (Sam Walton), flew coach, and hotel rooms were always shared.

Coach passenger stole a blanket
Strange thing happened on our flight PHL-FLL yesterday. My wife and I were in the last row of F. She had used her blanket and left it in a pile on the seat at the end of the flight. My blanket was unused and was still in the plastic wrapper on my seat. As we exited the plane, a bulkhead Y passenger picks up her blanket and carries it off the plane in full view. As we walked through the concourse, he continued to carry the blanket draped over his arm. Just seemed very weird to me.
