Galley Gossip: Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #1: Answer please! {Gadling}

Jun 9th 2008 2:08PM Actually it is, when I see about 10 employees standing around not doing anything and a line backed up then yep I am going to blame the WORKER. When I ask for a blanket politely and NEVER hear from the person on the plane again I blame them. And I am polite to everyone thank you very much. I am explaining to these boobs why people are cranky and why maybe they are listening to music and zoning out to RELAX. Not every flight personel is good, service is down 95% and I am paying more than ever before. Bottom line is, they are getting paid to serve us and with that comes customers. I agree you should not be rude but neither should the people who are serving me so if I or someone else doesn't hear one say drink, don't be rude to me. That's the breaks in a customer service job, deal or get out.

Galley Gossip: Flight Attendant Pet Peeve #1: Answer please! {Gadling}

Jun 9th 2008 8:57AM Get a grip. Everyone has annoying people they need to deal with at their job. It comes with the job. Deal with it. I get you have to deal with customers but do you realize we are cranky because of all the things we had to just endure on our trip? I mean I printed my receipt and notice about 50 different kinds of taxes for the original flight that cost me 100 bucks now costs me with all that about 350 bucks. I must leave 4 hours before my flight in order to miss traffic and ensure some ninny doesn't give my seat away. I then have to stand in line to check in because the self check lines are all closed. Passengers who can't be responsible and wake up on time gets to cut in line because they will miss their flights. I continue standing in line because there are about a half dozen flight employees standing around doing absolutely nothing while the line continues to grow and 2 people are actually doing work. Then I must empty my pockets, take off all my accessories (earrings, rings, watch, bracelets, necklaces, belts, etc), take off my coat, take out all small liquids and put them in a clear baggy that is the accurate size, take out my computer from the computer bag if I have it with me, take off my shoes and walk another mile while holding all these items, and deal with the big mouth with a badge yelling at me to have my ticket and ID in my hand and keep the line moving. After I get back dressed and replace all my items back to where they were in the first place I get motioned to be pulled over to the side to be wand down. Spread them! They get to my boobs and ask, "are you wearing an under wire?" "Yes", I simply state. "We recommend when you come to the airport you don't wear that kind of bra, it makes our job that much harder." Oh well excuse me, wouldn't want to do that. Now I have about a 2 mile hike to my gate with kids running amuck and idiots on their cell phones stopping in the walk way. I realize I have to go to the ladies room and have to stand in a 20 min line. Don't get me started on the dealings of a ladies restroom! I finally come out and see a seat to rest my exhausted body. I plop down and realize my gate has been change to the other side of the terminal! Now my flight boards soon so up I get with all my stuff in toe. I begin to race to the new gate. I am now sweating and a little frustrated. FYI, this is why some people have unpleasant odors on the plane. ;) Now I load and have to deal with no room for my small bags, people taking up my seat room, smelly haired man in front of me, no meal and a snotty hostess! Let me put on some music and if I don't see you standing there please excuse me. I am trying to calm myself from all that stuff so I don't shout at you. Have the person next to me tap me. Get over yourself! We ALL deal with things about jobs and people we don't like. Find another job then.
