7 Ways to Annoy a Flight Attendant

You all can thank your respective airline for charging baggage fees as the sole reason for people bringing and trying to stuff oversized suitcases in the overhead.

There's nothing more that pisses me off than seeing a MAN (I don't care if it's a FA) watching a lady struggle with something and not help her.

Not my problem.

She's the dumbass who packed more than she could carry.

She created the problem.

She can solve it on her own.
 
I once sat next to a lady who had brought her parrot with her. It was in a special cardboard box for pets. This thing had a potty mouth from hell. Quite entertaining. She decided it would be a good idea to get him out as we were taxiing in. Thing told me to f off. :insane:
 
And if you think a few pets on a plane suck...check this out...

That is yours truly helping carry off 102 dogs and cats we had flown stateside from Dhahran. The trip included 2 failed HF radios and emergency fuel stop in Gander. That plane STUNK when we finally made it.

Sooo, which one are you? :confused: I'm guessing the one on the left... :)
 
Sometimes you need to be able to do things that are outside your job description. Doing the bare minimum and refusing to help a passenger simply because "its not your job" is kinda silly and really making yourself look like an ass.

When you apply for a FA job in the description does it not usually say something like "Needs to be able to lift over 50 pounds" or something like that?

I am a pilot, its not in my job description to do a lot of the things I do. If I EVER told a customer "sorry its not my job", I would probably be fired the next day.

Then again I guess airline flying is a whole different animal but I really do wonder how flight attendants went from trying to make every passenger as comfortable as possible down to "lets just serve them a drink and some peanuts and do nothing else because its NOT MY JOB".
 
Ah the memories of a retired Air Marshal:cool: I could write a book:eek: It never ceased to amaze me the crap FA's had to put up with when I was still flying. There were times I wanted to get up and say, "hey butthead your under arrest for being terminally stupid".

I found that most FA's are very adept at putting passengers in their place, politely.... or sometime NOT:D

Oops, you must have flown on some of my flights! :p

BTW, I hated DCA turns since many of the pax were "movers and shakers" and thought they were entitled to some special privileges.
I also hate to say this, seeing you were a FAM, but a couple of them were complete buttheads to the FAs. :whip:

And... gate agents that don't pay attention to the twit with a dufflebag on wheels stuffed to the gills or the roll-a-board that 25 inches (fat) from front to back and would never fit in the overhead or under the seat.

DCA turns were some of the more entertaining flights for sure. Most of the real "movers and shaker" I saw were OK, it was the ones that thought they were movers and shakers I wanted to body slam:bandit:

We had our share of buttheads in the agency, some of the younger guys that had never been cops before were the worst (big badge syndrome). I squared up a few of them in between flights.... "hey dipweed, we're all suppose to be on the same team here, don't be rude the crews" :chair:
 
Thank you! Actually, two of the cooler ones were both female, flying together...very professional, friendly, etc.

We also had a jackass who told me he "didn't have to" show his ID to one of new CAs who wanted to see it, even though both me and the CA asked nicely. Great attitude, there....

Maybe my wife, short stuff latina:bandit: Not that I'd call her that anywhere within earshot or handgun range:guns::D She's retired now too. Most the ladies I worked with had real good attitudes, and most had been cops, in one form or fashion, before becoming FAM's
