The ONE Thing Flight Attendants Wish You'd Stop Doing


Athena Image



If you think you're annoyed by your fellow airplane passengers, then just try being a flight attendant. 
We asked a group of flight attendants to each name the ONE thing they wish passengers would stop doing on a plane. And we have to say, their responses definitely inspired us to clean up our acts. (Plopping a dirty diaper into a flight attendant's hands?! Gross.)
These responses come from the Facebook page for Flight Attendant Career Connection, an online forum led by author and former flight attendant Abbie Unger. So please, please, PLEASE take note. Your cabin crew really wishes you'd stop...
Taking forever to decide which drink you want.
“You’ve seen me walking down the aisle with the drink cart for 20 minutes already.” --Facebook user Corinne Spring

“There is a barf bag into which you can dispose of anything and then place it into the plastic bag as we walk through the cabin.” -- Facebook user Lynn E Miller
Commenting on “how small the plane is.”
“I fly regional, so of course it’s small. This is a 30-minute flight!” -- Facebook user Gina Andrade

“I DON’T have an unlimited supply in my pocket, and no I won’t give you one A) because it’s my favorite and B) because I’m required to have it on me at all times.” --Facebook user Lorisa Maxwell
