And I'm supposed to tip you for this?
Wife and I did a little traveling over the last few days.
I noticed when we went on vacation last month that the Charlotte airport kicks it old school by staffing its restrooms with attendants.
Gone are the days when you have to eat in a fancy restaurant or visit a country club to get a little company in the bathroom. Today all you have to do is connect through Charlotte.
And to me, bathroom staff in the airport makes perfect sense. In an age of heightened threats both domestic and foreign, we need vigilance in the fight against unflushed urinals, excessive paper towel use, and high-profile foot tapping.
Plus, in the bigger picture, what better way to keep your airports safe than by adding a few shifty, won't-make-eye-contact-with-you folks to the payroll?
With all that said, allow me to reveal something I learned the hard way at about 10:30 last night as we waited for our connecting flight home.
When there's no one else using the bathroom, the attendant isn't an attendant for those few brief moments. He's just the dude watching me pee.
And that's not a great feeling.

Which is why it's good to be a woman. At least we get a door.
Maybe it's just you he was watching. Are you SURE he was really a bathroom attendant? Did you watch him watching other guys?
Just to make sure? Not that you are running for congress or anything...
You should be used to it after all the steroid tests you've been put through in your life.
ew. ew. ew.
Okay. I'm often complaining that men have it easy in the restroom dept... I totally take it back, well at least when I'm in Charlotte.
Thank you God for giving us stalls!
