What are the flight attendants doing in the bathroom before take off and landing?

kturner: What are the flight attendants doing in the bathroom before take off and landing?
After just getting off a few flights not that long ago, I’ve been wondering a lot about flight attendants and what the job includes. Just about every flight before landing, I noticed flight attendants stepping into the bathroom for a short time and walking back out. It was only a few seconds so it wasn’t to “go” to the bathroom, what are they doing in there to prepare for landing?

Probably freshening themselves up before saying goodbye to everyone on the plane.

I have never seen what you describe, so I can only imagine that they were verifying that there was no one in there. Or checking their makeup.

Perhaps checking to make sure that none of the passengers left anything behind in there, so that no one needs to reboard the plane looking for lost items.

I am a flight attendant and if I am in the rest room it usually means I am straightning it up after a passenger left it a pig stye.
