Ten ways to annoy the shit out of your flight attendant? Wait! No! Erase that information from your head. I’m a glass half full type of person. I can’t possibly take this view. We need to turn this around! Let’s change this up, let’s be helpful and positive and learn not to do what is on this list. You got me?! I hope so…so let’s begin with number 10.
It truly is that simple. The old, “you get what you give” adage. Two words that flight attendants don’t hear often, “please and thank you,” can carry you through an entire flight. I recently saw a button that said, “manners are sexy!” I couldn’t agree more.
When a flight attendant comes to your seat and offers you a basket of snacks, there are usually two to three options to choose from. It really doesn’t need to take 10 minutes to choose between chips, cookies, or nuts. But you can take those extra minutes and choose slowly. Keep looking at the flight attendant instead of the snacks while you are at it.
Flight attendants are fully aware it is not cheap to fly. We know that when you are offered complimentary snacks or drinks, it is human nature to want to indulge and get the biggest bang for your buck. But no one likes passengers who try to hug all the snacks and drinks to themselves. if you want to really annoy your flight attendant, just keep asking for a coffee refill.
Got to your gate early? Good for you! Use your time wisely and grab a water for your flight. It could be a couple hours between boarding, taxiing, take off and set up before you see a bar cart. It’s also a great time to use a bathroom. There are other passengers that are rushing to catch the flight due to a tight connection, you taking care of your needs ahead of time frees up the flight attendants to help those that didn’t have the time you had.
Also, you can press the call button more than once when your flight attendant doesn’t show up immediately. Ask the flight attendant to do the smallest things for you like fluff up your pillow and ask the gentleman in the front row to stop snoring.
