#5 – The Snobby Drinkers

My God, it’s really frustrating when business class passengers treat you like an expert bartender. They keep asking you for some complicated drinks and what is even worse is that they expect you to know all about it, said the flight attendant.
#6 – The Unsanitary Parents

The flight attendant job is about keeping passengers safe, making sure they follow the security regulations and trying to make their flight comfortable and enjoyable. But some people just fail to understand that, especially those parents that don’t want to understand that their ticket doesn’t include the following service: “the flight attendant will take charge of your kid’s diaper.”
I remember once a young couple changed their baby’s diaper on the bulkhead table. Then, the mother handed me the bag with the dirty diaper and asked me to throw it away. I had no choice but to take it. I mean what else should I say? Maybe I’ve developed the habit of taking people’s trash without even thinking, said the flight attendant.
#7 – The Defensive Yellers

Again, flight attendants are responsible for your safety. So, they have to make sure that you and everyone in the cabin are wearing your seatbelt. This means in case you were sleeping, they have to wake you up and make sure you are secured.
But when you’re not lucky enough and you wake up the wrong passenger then be ready to hear some loud yellings and shoutings that feel like a knife in your eardrums. The flight attendant said that she has experienced such situation when she gently tried to wake up an old sleeping woman in order to fasten her seatbelt.
The latter burst into yells and became extremely defensive saying something like: “It’s all about what you want! Never about what I want!’’ The flight attendant added that she had replied in her most sweet manners saying to the old woman that “I did not wake you, Madam, because I want so rather because it’s my duty to keep you safe. But if you choose not to then you are totally responsible for your choice.”
