The following quote originally appeared in the Chicago Tribune. We Hope You Enjoy Your Flight, but….
You asked for it: “My biggest pet peeve is when passengers order coffee when it’s beginning to get turbulent. As soon as it’s too bumpy to continue serving drinks, when we’re in our jump seats buckled up, some passengers will ring their call lights for us to come rescue them from the hot liquid. Too late! We have to play it safe too,” said Heather Poole, a flight attendant for 17 years and author of “Cruising Attitude: Tales of Crashpads, Crew Drama, and Crazy Passengers at 35,000 Feet.”
This is so true, I sometimes can’t believe the idiocy of people on planes. You might be interested to read my blog on the most bizarre behavior I’ve ever seen on a flight http://aneastendgirl.blogspot.cz/2013/06/tales-from-aeroplane-part-2-less.html?m=1 Would love to know what you think!
This is so true, you can see the looks on the flight attendants’ faces when people with no common sense start making these demands! You might be interested in a blog I wrote about the weirdest behavior I’ve ever seen on a plane http://aneastendgirl.blogspot.cz/2013/06/tales-from-aeroplane-part-2-less.html Would love to know what you think!
Your number 1 is almost similar to my number one of just ordering “coffee” without any further detail on how they drink it. But yes, the start of turbulence and ordering of coffee go hand in hand.
