Last week.

Wow, a busy week this has been. Flying all the time, one day off that i spent sleeping. Tired after flights.
Hadn't had flight like these for a long, long while. On each & every flight someone yelling at the crew members, someone feeling sick, someone again yelling, someone who doesn't fasten seat belts, someone who doesn't put they're luggage away, men who tell girl cabin crew to put his bag up in the locker, though flight attendant is not the one who should put any ones baggage anywhere. Especially if you are a man. A drunk one.

3 funny & sad at the same time categories of passengers on board.

1. "Hey, i don't have where to put my bag!" (when standing in the back of the plan) "Put these bags of other passengers somewhere else, so that i could put my bag here?!"
Then i always go like this, if I know there`s a free space in the front "In the front there are free lockers, could you please take you're bag there & put it in the locker there."
"But this is my seat, what means that for my suitcase should be place in MY locker!" (haha.. oh, right! Like one locker wouldn't be for 6 passengers.. or sometimes even more)
After 3 sec of thinking can always explain to that passenger "Well, yes, but you see, this is a locker for hand baggage, that's made for 6 passengers in one row. Made to put there your little purse and coat not all the big suitcase. For suitcases there is made the cargo compartment. So please take you're bag to front or we will have to take your bag to cargo compartment (that we usually don't do, cause that always causes delays) "
"But what if someone steals it from there? Who will take the responsibility?!?!" (that's one of the silliest things I've heard.. like we would be carrying just criminals & they would have gold in those bags.. haha.. like someone needs them!!!)

.. yea.. right.. Even if customer is always right, still have to listen what we say.


Then those moms who don't want to fasten they're infants (a child under 2 years).

"Please fasten with seat belt you're baby, were going for landing" we always say then.
"Oh, but she is sleeping/ crying/ is not listening/ cant sit normally/ nervous/ hungry etc., etc., etc. Don't want to bother her/ wake her up. have to calm her down (bla bla bla)"
"Fasten your baby please, we won`t be landing this plane until shes sitting fastened on your knees. It`s for your baby's safety."
.............
"Not listening to me/ I cant do it/ have to calm her down" (like i would care.. its you`re baby, so take care of it.. Has to be fastened.. not like actually i would care, if it would be up to me all the passengers could dance in the cabin for landing, but i care, to evacuate everyone alive from that birdie if it crashes badly. Besides its a lot easyer to evacuate everyone if we don't have to look for that baby through all the cabin, cause he has flown somewhere away from that mom that hadn't fastened him. Or in bad turbulence, that u might expect when flying Fokker's. A bit & the baby can easily hit the ceiling)
(while I'm telling that I'm standing there in that bad turbulence unfastened somewhere in the cabin risking my life & my head to hit the ceiling) " (Explaining why & what for.) Fasten her now & keep her fastened until the seat belt sign is off, then its safe to unfasten. " (ehh.. yes.. like those moms would listen.. they always think they know whats better.. they just probably don't know what might happen if something goes wrong in that landing.. or just don't care)



& then, of course, there are those who are never happy. "U work too slow, u missed out row, u didn't look at me the way i wanted, u gave me too much coins in change, the coffee is too cold, the tea is too hot, why don't i have meal?!, why is the flight so long?!, why isn't captain saying anything? when are we going to land (this always goes when captain is saying something on the mic.. mmmhm, nice, u listen very goood...), i don't want to put my bag up, ill keep it in my lap (saying that when sitting on emergency exit.. yes.. right.. ha... dream on! Then probably u`ll change your seat sooner than keep that bag down there!) " & so on & on & on.. :D but these i actually find funny :D can see how far can humans mind go.. i mean.. i don't even sometimes understand where they get all those ideas to ask for.

During boarding showing boarding pass & asking "I`m sorry, is this sitting or standing place?" & looking at you very serious. Ah, what it takes from us not to die from laugh :D
