In other news, I would like to make an official decree: small people - you win. You've worn me down, I concede that you are the superior group of people and I will never snicker at your little vienna sausage fingers again. You can thank whoever decided it would be great to install shower heads below 6' in hotel rooms (this is something that transcends hotel brands). I really appreciate having the clean crotch, but washing my hair is very difficult.

But what finally did me in was taking a leak on the CRJ yesterday. I was wedged in there like a pretzel, my head was literally cocked (no pun intended) sideways so my ear was touching my shoulder. I was squatting about 4", while trying to maintain good aim. After accomplishing that I feel like I should try out for Cirque du Soleil (I already have the Canadian credentials :rolleyes:)

There is no pleasure in that.
Did you get an ex-US FA as well? They are a scary bunch. But then on my last flight I had one that I'm not sure if it was a he or a she. And whatever was down below, this individual was not very nice. Actually, p!ssed off at the entire universe would be an apt description of his/her/its mood. |

Ok how do some of you taller people use the F lav on 737's? I've only used one once and I had to lean my head backwards to keep my nose getting smashed against the side and I'm less than 6' |

The one today was very pleasant, so not sure whether she was from US. The one I encountered last week on Sh!tauqua, however, was the exact opposite. She started telling the woman behind me to take her child to the lav before departure because passengers were not allowed out of there seats within one hour of departure from or arrival at DCA. :rolleyes: When I explained that that the "no pee rule" had been rescinded several years ago, she said that I was wrong, and that their manual stated that it recently had been modified to be 60 minutes from 30 minutes of DCA. :rolleyes: I explained again that the FAA policy had been rescinded, and she suggested that the FAA was wrong and that it should change its "manual" to reflect the 60 minute no pee rule (presumably because that is what the Sh!tauqua manual said and, of course, we all know that must be correct). No "no pee" announcement was made after our conversation, however. :rolleyes:

I prefer them mounted around 7'. |

what about those great half glass doors they insist on using in most European hotels , especially here in Barzelona
Did they run out of glass or ever think about using a shower curtain instead :rolleyes: |

I've only used one once and I had to lean my head backwards to keep my nose getting smashed against the side and I'm less than 6' Amazingly, I find the ERJ lav pretty roomy, especially for such a small plane. It's probably because it takes up the full width of the fuselage, as opposed to being crammed into just half the fuselage width. |
OK, back to my room I go. I've had enough of the sensationalism on Fox News playing here in the hotel's lounge… and the longer I sit here, the more tempted I am to snack and drink.

Short person rant:
I hate shower heads that are mounted so high that I have to stand back so that I don't get my hair wet. I don't always want to wash my hair when I take a shower. Do you have any idea what it's like to sit on a toilet (at my advanced age) and have your feet dangling off the floor? Trying to reach the top shelf of anything. Trying to hop onto a bar stool without missing and looking like you're drunk when you're not. The cost of hemming pants. |

And apparently the place my partner and his sister stayed in Barcelona last week had a bathroom that had so little privacy that the other one had to leave the one for one to use the toilet or shower and not be somewhat exposed. That may be OK if you're a couple, but in a room with two twin beds, they should assume that the occupants probably aren't comfortable seeing each other in the nude.
I do however reccommend the Hotel 1898 in Barcelona , even though it has the glass door effect , the hotel is excellent . I was suppossed to stay at Le Meridien across the street but it was sold out since all the Starwood Employees that are here for the same Feria which I am attending are staying there. |
