Biggest Annoyances to Flight Attendants

1. Don't not touch your flight attendant. Poke, tap, kick, step on, and so on. I don't poke you, you
don't poke me.

2. Flight Attendant: Would you like something to drink?
Passenger: Yes...............................................................
- Not mind readers!

3. Main purpose for the flight attendant call button is for emergencies. Turning on you flight attendant call button does not turn on your flight attendant.

4. "Were you born in a barn?" Please close the lav door once you are done.

5. Seat Belt Sign
- When it's on, wear it. Really it is for your safety and trust me we don't like the fact that we
have to babysit you. We don't enjoy telling grown people over and over again to sit down
and buckle up.

6. Some questions: What time are we going to get there (after taking off)? What gate are we
going into? Am I going to make my connection?
- When we get there, we get there! Do you really need to know it's not like you can contact
anyone to tell them what time to pick you up after we are already in the air. You should
have asked earlier.
- I don't know! I am back here like you. If the captain makes an announcement then you will
know.
- I don't know if you are going to make your connection. I have no information about other
flights.

7. Why must you pack the biggest bag and try to bring it on the plane?

8. If you have a short connection and you want to make your flight here's a tip don't stop for food
the plane is not going to wait for you. We are on a schedule.

9. Parents please discipline your kids! Make them stay in their seats and wear the seat belt.
-Honestly do you let your kids ride in the car without being buckled up. I mean the plane does
go just a little bit faster than a car!

10. Every time there is a delay I wait for it "I just called ___________ and there's no weather
there."
-Yes we delayed the flight just because we wanted to lie to you.

11. Please make sure you get on the right flight cause boy wouldn't you look smart if we had to
take you back to the gate to let you off and delay the flight. All the other people on the flight
are going to be so happy with you.

12. Once we land and almost to the gate until you hear that lovely ding don't stand up.

Just PLANE nasty! 5 most common things that people do on planes.

1. Not wearing shoes in the lav!
-I don't understand how people don't realize that it is public restroom. If you wouldn't wear
shoes in a public restroom something is wrong with you. I also have to show love to the
parents who let their children go to the lav without shoes! Kid's don't know any better but you
should!

2. Handing the flight attendant your trash while she/he is serving drink or while she/he is eating.
-Really? I mean think about it. I don't know where that's been or what's touched it. Sure let
me take your germy trash for you while I am stuffing my face or serving someone a drink.

3. Handing the flight attendant dirty tissues, vomit bags, and dirty diapers.
-Put it in the bag don't even think that I am going to touch that.

4. Changing your babies diaper in the seat or on the tray table
-In every airplane there is a changing table. Use it. Someone will have to sit in that seat or eat
off that tray table after you.

5. Not flushing the toilet.
-Okay it's nasty but I do understand that most public restrooms now flush themselves. Sorry,
but the ones on the aircraft are not that high tech so just please push the button. All we need
is some turbulence to help your pee make it too the floor. Yea that's hot!

6. Not common but I saw a guy on my flight picking at a scab! Yuck!

Feel free to comment! :D
Don't forget to wash your hands!
