| Jun 21, 2016 at 12:54 | comment | added | LarsH | Just for completeness: The euphemism "comfort station" is polite, formal, and inoffensive. I have seen it used in signage in older National Parks of the U.S. However, the phrase is rarely used nowadays, sounds very unusual in oral conversation, and may not be understood. | |

| Jun 19, 2016 at 21:55 | comment | added | AKS | @HeidelBerGensis They raise the little finger to mean number one, popular slang if you want to take a pee. I have not seen they raise two fingers for the heavy job though. | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 21:27 | comment | added | Nean Der Thal | @ZachLipton simple workers, they ae confused, many been on a plane for the first time, I am serious that's what they do.. | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 21:22 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | @HeidelBerGensis Why exactly do people need to signal that they want to use the toilet at all? Don't people on a plane just get up and go? | |

| Jun 19, 2016 at 19:27 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | That reminds me of the habit in Dutch schools where kids stick up a hand with the pointer finger raised when they know the answer, but with that and the next finger when they need to use the toilet. | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 19:23 | comment | added | Nean Der Thal | Now this might sound like a joke, but it is NOT.. in flights to the Indian subcontinent, people make a fist while raising the little finger, that's the sign when they want to use the toilet. I never get it, I tried to ask, never got an answer for the reasons behind this gesture. | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 19:05 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | I have proposed a 'toilets' one in chat but was told the others there did not feel that need, so I let it go. | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 18:37 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | Do we need an all-adults-here tag yet? | |
| Jun 19, 2016 at 18:23 | comment | added | Willeke♦ | Fun books but I fear not suitable for polite society of adults. | |
