Flight Attendant Pet Peeves

I’m making a conscious effort not to start every episode out with "So…" which I often do and I think is silly.

Let me give you some of my flight attendant pet peeves…just so I can vent…and you can maybe laugh…and its a win win.

1) When a flight attendant is walking down the isle to pick up trash….
a) Do not tap her with your trash
b) Do not tell her to wait and then proceed to finish your drink while she stands there.
c) Do not use the sick bags as a trash bag. Those don’t get replaced on every flight. The last thing I want is for a bunch of people to get sick due to turbulence and we don’t have any. (Which has happened before.)
 

2) Do not leave trash on the galley. That is where I eat…and prepare your drinks. I come through with trash every 15 minutes….hold your stinkin trash til then.
 

3) Do not ring your flight attendant call button for stupid stuff.
a)Like to pick up your trash. Most likely I didn’t bring a trash bag and I do not want to touch your trash. If I touched everyones trash I would always be sick.
b)Do not ring your flight attendant call button to get a drink when I JUST past you down the isle.
c) Or to ask me if you can go to the lav while the seat belt sign is on….Of course I’m going to tell you that THE SEATBELT SIGN IS ON. If you can get to the lav with it still fastened around you…go for it.

4) When going to the Lav please remember its a normal door. There is a handle in the middle right hand corner….It does not have a picture of a cigarette on it…and just because you are on the plane does not mean all door handles are in the middle of the plane.

5) After I have made an announcement for "Last Call" snacks or beverages….do not ring your call button to get another beer or whatever.

6) Tip your flight attendant…like you tip your bartender…ESPECIALLY if you get alcohol. We don’t mind tips for other reasons.

7) Do NOT ask your flight attendant to pick up your bag and place it in the overhead bin. Believe it or not it is NOT part of our job description….Epically if there is a meat head sitting across from you. ASK HIM. I don’t get paid if I get injured and cant fly. Too many flight attendants go out on injury because of BAGS!

Now I’ve got to think of something to make for dinner for Doug. Any ideas?
