I just thought I should share with you some stories from working as cabin crew.

1 -
I was working a long haul flight and the call button is pressed, so my friend Erin tells me
too go, so I go along. I had a request for something,

Passenger - Excuse me miss
Me - How can I help you?
Passenger - I have a request for a candle
Me - I'm sorry but we can't have candles on board for saftey reasons
Passenger - Why would this be?
Me - Just for saftey reasons, and for the smoke detectors
Passenger - Okay then, sorry to bother you.

I mean what kind of a crazy person wants a candle on board?!


2 - I get another bell call,
A passenger with their laptop out asks,

Passenger - Excuse me miss
Me - How can I help you sir?
Passenger - Can I ask why I am not getting an internet connection?
Me - The reason would be is because we are currently travelling at 500 mph
Passenger - So no internet connection onboard no?
Me - Unfortunately not.

3 -
Time for breakfast
We were serving fresh fruit, pancakes, cereal or bacon, eggs etc..
A passenger far back asks for cereal,

Me - Sorry, but we don't actually have any cereal left
Passenger - No cornflakes?
Me - None
Passenger - Special k?
Me - We have no cereal at all
Passenger - Not even coco-pops?
Me - Sorry we have no cereal at all on board
Passenger - okay I will take cornflakes and banana
Me - We dont have any cereal mam!!
Passenger - Ooh sorry I didnt hear you!

4 -
It was around New-Year last year, a passenger asks for an on-board party,

Passenger - Excuse me mam
Me - Yes, how can I help you?
Passenger - Well as its around new years time, can we pop some party poppers?
Me - We can't actually do that I am afraid, as its a explosive and explosives are strictly banned on-board.
Passenger - Not even on new year?
Me - Unfortunately not
Passenger - Oh Okay then


Passengers can be very dumb at times, I have lots more too come.
I like to write all these in a diary and it just makes me laugh so much!

Lots more to come!!
Enjoy!

one of my flights, these 2 complete strangers that sat in front of me, they didn't know each other prior to the flight...

well, throughout the whole flight, they got to know each other, and then about an hour later they started making out!!!!! ( yes, i could see you! right in between the crack of the seats!)

big wow. but anyhow, after our landing, got our luggage, those 2 acted like they didn't know each other and just smile and went on their happy way. i saw this for myself b/c when the girl's family picked her up, he walked by her and they both acted as if they didn't know each other and each went on their own happy way.

Surely she was related, like her DH or bf... no? LOL!
 
I was on a flight one where the guy beside me tried to make the flight attentants move the life saving equiptment in the over head locker so he could but his luggage in it. She tried to explain that she couldn't move it but he was insisting in the end she had to get really firm and tell him that she was not going to move it it is important to know exactley where it is when needed he still wasn't getting it and moaned on for the rest of the flight
 
I love these stories. LOL at the cereal thing. I completely understand about people not listening when they ask questions. Sometimes they just want to look like they care.

If anyone wants to hear more stories from a flight attendant, I highly recommend Plane Insanity by Elliott Hester.
