Mirrors
Is it just me or do some airport restrooms have better mirrors than others? Whenever I transit DFW or ATL I'm just shocked at how bad I look in the restroom mirrors, but then when I get to my destination and look in the mirror I don't look half as bad.

It's not you. Some are plastic so they can't be busted and over time cleaning that scratches it and makes it a mess. Some are just cheap and crappy.

It can also be the bad lighting. That's what I keep telling myself anyway . . .

You sure it's not the in-flight beverage service?

Some are polished metal. Like in a prison. So I hear.
