Jaunted

I saw these at CLT last May and wrote about it here: http://www.jaunted.com/story/2010/5/18/101823/008/travel/Plane-Spotting+from+a+Rocking+Chair+at+CLT So annoying. I mean, I expect it from NYC nightclubs but not airports. Really, I'm flustered enough trying to drag my bag and other gear out of the bathroom. there's no way im coordinated enough to find a dollar and drop it in a jar. And it's also not necessary.

This morning, the bathroom attendant in terminal B would not let me use the handicapped restroom. So I left to go look for another bathroom but returned since I had to really go and she actually stood in front of the stall and blocked me from using it. It was surreal!! Restrooms for the handicapped are required to be available, but are not required to be for the exclusive use of the handicapped. It is about providing accessibility, not priority. Besides, how does she know that I do not have a handicap? A handicap does not always have to be physically visible!! I had to take a 5 AM flight into CLT(which means I had to be at the airport at 4 AM) and had a 3 hour layover in CLT. I lugged my carry-on and laptop roller all the way from Terminal D, where my flight landed, to Terminal B, where I was to board my connecting flight. For those of you not familiar with CLT, it is a long trek from terminals D and F to the main terminal/s. I was already very tired to deal with her behavior. I travel via Charlotte every week, and I must say it gets very annoying with the attendants greeting you and directing you where exactly to tinkle. I mean it feels like they are potty training you out of diapers :P But the bottom line is, the attendant probably recognized me as one of the non-tippers and behaved that way. So, what are the airport taxes and airport fees for? I wonder??? I say the tip jars have to go!!!
