This Is the Most Annoying Thing Airplane Passengers Do, According to Flight Attendants
"Unlocked doors can cause confusion among passengers and sometime leads to long lines of people waiting for a toilet that is actually available. The line blocks aisles and work spaces that flight attendants need to serve passengers and keep them safe. Travelers should always make sure that bathroom latches are completely closed so the lavatory is shown as "occupied" on the lights outside in the cabin."
"Locking properly also prevents other passengers from walking into an occupied lavatory, avoiding both hygiene issues and embarrassment. "When the door lock isn't engaged properly, people can walk in on someone by accident. It's embarrassing for everyone involved and wastes valuable time, especially when there's a queue during busy periods," a senior cabin crew member told . "Passengers don't always [realize] the impact of their actions in such a confined space.""
Passengers must fully latch and lock airplane lavatory doors to register occupancy and prevent confusion. Unlocked or partially closed doors can create misleading availability, causing long lines that block aisles and crew work spaces. Blocked aisles impede service and can hinder safety procedures during emergencies. Proper locking prevents accidental intrusions into occupied lavatories, avoids hygiene issues and passenger embarrassment, and saves time during busy periods. Travelers should also conserve onboard water and avoid flushing inappropriate items to reduce crew frustration and preserve limited resources.
