You’re in the middle of the sky and you’ve just drank your soda and well, you gotta go. Today, we take it for granted that we can just saunter on down to the back of the plane and take care of business. Well, now someone may make big business out of taking care of business. Ryanair, to be exact, is mulling over whether or not to add a bathroom fee in-flight in the form of a coin slot on each bathroom door.
As passengers, we’ve had a lot of things taken away from us over the years. We now have to pay to check our bags, pay to have pillows and blankets, pay for snacks, and so on. But to have to pay to pee?! Really Ryanair? What next?

Okay, this is just silly, Ryanair. CHARGE MORE for your flights and allow people to use the can for free. It's a basic human right.

Ryanair also charges people a per-minute fee to talk to their customer service staff on the telephone. EVEN IF THE PROBLEM IS THEIR FAULT. They also (reportedly) pay their poor staff -- most of whom are immigrants -- a paltry $20 a flight. As such, I avoid them like the plague -- sure, you can probably fly from London to Paris for two bucks, but is it worth it?
