The Wonders of the Sani-Seat
Once again I’m flying, and once again it’s a pain the ass. I’ve made a mental note to myself never to fly on a Friday, at least with the intention of travelling home on a Friday. I’ve missed a concert I really wanted to go to (the Golden Dogs which everyone should listen to), and my boss’ surprise birthday dinner and club night.
Today’s flight was out of Columbus. Finished work early (fantastic!) and went to the mall to look around and kill time. Today was a good day. Only one pair of shoes (okay two if you count the awesome boots I bought yesterday at only $18 reduced from $70 :D ) and some craft stuff. Highlights of the shopping trip included being chased down in a store for a Christian Dior make over, which I had to refuse because I said I had to catch a flight and someone who assumed that I worked for Limited Brands and was in Columbus from the New York office. First mistaken as a model, and then mistaken for working in one of the biggest fashion companies in the US? Columbus is just not healthy for my ego!
Anyway to make a long recap of my day short, I went to the airport to find that my flight was delayed by an hour. It was not so bad because at least I was going home that night. I bummed around the airport to kill even more time and waltzed over to my gate at 7:30 for my flight which was originally scheduled to leave at 7:55 and then delayed till 8:55 was now cancelled. Luckily someone had muttered, “I hate this shit” only to turn around to the most tired and sad looking man I had ever seen. I replied with “no kidding? I just found out that my flight was cancelled”. I was even luckier when a woman commented that a counter was rerouting people on my flight through Chicago. And so I ran through the airport to the Chicago gate and made it there with 10 minutes to spare. And this all happened just after I finished speaking with my boss and him commenting that cancelled flights were re-routed through Chicago, but that had probably left.
We managed to leave on time, and ended up in Chicago a little earlier than expected so I had enough time to take a bathroom break. I walked into what I thought was the cleanest airport bathroom I had ever been in. O’Hare’s secret? The Sani-Seat! It always makes me happy to go into a toilet stall that’s clean. No fussing with the toilet seat cover, layers of toilet paper, or hovering. Instead with just one wave of your hand over the sensor, the used seat cover is replaced with a new one. After a long day of travelling, and a cancelled flight, it’s one less thing I have to think about! Imagine if more public bathrooms had them? I can’t think of the number of times I’ve gone to a public bathroom strewn with toilet paper (worst is ‘wet’ paper). If you had the sani-seat people wouldn’t need to worry about applying an appropriate barrier between them and the seat, and subsequently there would be less of a mess in the bathroom. Cleaning personnel wouldn’t have to work so hard, and less material would be wasted.
