      Blowing a slide costs the airline tens of thousands of dollars. Not only will that entire flight have to be canceled the plane will have to be sent away to maintenance to have the slide repacked and inspected. Someone probably got fired for that premature evacuation.

      Oh my, lol. I’m now re-evaluating workplace interactions now. There are surprisingly few women who work as ground crew at airports.
      But about the only time that irritates me is when some of my male colleagues forget that I don’t have the same upper body strength as them, especially the youngsters barely old enough to work. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully capable of doing all aspects of the job it just means that I’m going to need a bit more time to accomplish it, it’s going to require more effort/energy on my part or I may have to carry out the task in a different way.
      For example once when I was on aircraft cleaning duty, I don’t know what the cabin crew were doing but the bin plastic sack was rather heavy. So I’m carefully moving it between the rows of seats and one of my colleagues unhelpfully told me that I should lift it above the seats. So I give him a withering look and remarked that while I knew that, it must be nice to be young and male who actually can lift heavy things above waist height. But after giving the bag another look I concluded that the exterior was dry and clean so I hoisted it across my shoulders and back like a sack.
      But yeah I know that the back and shoulders are powerful muscle groups, so most of the time I just need to adjust what strategy to use.

      Uh, in the plane? Because I thought the controls for bathroom lights would most likely be in a control panel in the cabin, or as a master switch in the cockpit that operates ALL lights.
      Of course, you could be talking about a hotel, in which that can be quite common, with switches across the room, seemingly nowhere near the fixture they control, it can be quite annoying (or so I've heard)

    To go along with the 'Premature Evacuation' meme: Back in the mid-80's I had a temp position with Eastern Airlines working the ramp at LGA. At the time, the majority of flights Eastern flew from that airport were DC-9's and 727s, both of which had rear access/evac stairs. As one of the DC-9's was beginning to load passengers, a crew member went to lower the rear stairs to allow for meal delivery to be brought aboard, but hit the wrong controller. Instead of the rear stairs lowering to the ramp, the plane's tail cone jettisoned and the emergency inflatable slide deployed. Needless to say, that plane did NOT have an 'On-Time' departure!

Some tones are played when you reach a certain altitude, some are played when the pilots want something from the cabin crew, and some are played so that cabin crew members all over the plane know that something’s gonna commence, like a drink service.

    BTW, I too noticed the "aaaah" of some older pilots I knew in the Civil Air Patrol. Its origin is easy to understand once you hear it explained. The "aaah" is actually a technique to open the squelch of the microphone before speaking. If you wouldn't do that, the first word or two of your transmission would be lost. Of course, using this technique in ordinary conversation leads you to wonder which speech impediment is on display!
