Pay-per-pee

Ryanair launches a competition, asking its passengers to imagine the future taxes that payable to the low cost company. This idea appeared since the boss of the company announced that if a passenger wants to use the toilets, he will have to pay for it. The reactions were immediate and some other put the idea that passengers will have to pay to use the fire exits or read the security manual. Among beautiful suggestions, made after the announcement of paying to pee (or anything else you do in the toilets, we hear so many things today), there is a tax to use the toilet paper with the picture of the boss printed on it, a tax of 2,50 € to read the security manual, another 1,- € to use the oxygen mask or 25,- € to use the fire exits. The most original suggestion will be granted with a 1.000,- € price. You have until March 30th. The boss of this low cost company suggested to pay for the toilets end of February on BBC, at about 1,- €, in order to reduce, again, the costs. It seems that this announcement was in fact only a joke but it made its way. My advice : Ryanair only flies short journeys so you don’t need to pee (take you precaution before at the airport) and you don’t need to read the security manual because, whatever happens, you will never have the time to reach the fire exists anyway.
