Hi - so happy to be here!

[LaurenT]

Hi everyone!
I just found this site yesterday and have been enjoying reading through the different topics!
I am not a CM, but used to be a flight attendant...so I guess you could say that from time to time I would deal with SP (passenger) instead of SG.
My all time favorite passenger comment:
Excuse me .... I can't seem to get my window open....

The drink committee should be here soon, and if you've done any reading you know what else happens. Here, you may want to put on this superabsorbent polymer slurry. Hope you didn't use hairspray this morning.

And about that window, it's kinda too bad. It would have shut them up if you had got to FL350 and they had managed to open it.

I look forward to hearing your stories.

Thank you Big Wallaby.
My time with the airlines was back when smoking was just being banned....there were several times when a lavatory smoke detector would go off...
Flight Attendant knocks on door: excuse me, is everything all right in there?
Passenger: Yes (with alarm going off!)
Flight Attendant: Are you smoking?
Passenger: No (alarm still going off)
Flight Attendant: I'm sorry, the smoke detector is going off, I need you to open the door
Passenger opens the door and cigarette smoke comes billowing out....
Flight Attendant: Sir, what did you do with the cigarette?
Passenger: I wasn't smoking.
Flight Attendant: Sir, I can see the smoke, did you put the cigarette in the trash, or the toilet? I'm asking because it's a fire hazard.
Passenger: I wasn't smoking.
Sigh...OK Sir, excuse me.
Then I'd have to go in and search through the trash to make sure there wasn't a lit cigarette in there.

Thanks Lasolimu! :)

There was one airline that seated babies in the smoking section. The thinking was, less oxygen meant less screaming.

Wow...coughing better than screaming I guess...
Passengers who smoked would often book up the non smoking section nd then walk back to smoking to have a cigarette. They didn't want to have to sit in the middle of it. Then the non smoking passengers who got stuck there would complain because there were no other seats available - and I could totally relate, but not much I could do. Was very happy when they ended smoking on the plane.

Now if they could ban farting on planes. Seriously, 10 hours. I thought someone crapped their pants, but the stench would come and go...
