United Airlines Flight From San Francisco to London Runs Out Of Toilet Paper Mid Flight

[Initech]

In a week that saw United Airlines (UAL) place dead last in a customer service ranking of the major airlines, a picture surfaced that gives some idea of how the airline earned that dubious distinction.

"Apparently, they ran out in one lav half-way home and couldn't bother to transfer a roll from another," writes the poster. As you can see, a member of the flight crew seems to have hacked together a holder out of duct tape and filled it with cocktail napkins -- which, appropriately enough, bear the slogan "Fly by the tips of your fingers."

And this was no short flight, either: He notes that this took place on a San Francisco-to-London trip. While having to use napkins as toilet paper isn't the end of the world, it's still hard to imagine an airline like JetBlue (JBLU) running out of toilet paper and having to resort to such college-dorm-style innovation.

5. I've spent a lot of years in "no toilet paper" lands....

It's why I have a tendency to always carry a pack of completely useless and cheap tissues with me. They're good if you need to take a crap in a place where there's no buttwipe in sight.
