ME: Would you like a tea or coffee sir?
PAX: WHAT?
ME: Would you like a tea or coffee sir?
PAX: No I dont drink alcohol!
ME: Sorry sir, we are offering you TEA, or COFFEE, would you like some?
PAX: Yes. .... (puts his cup on my tray, and stares blankly at my colleague and I).
ME: So sir, which is it - tea or coffee?
PAX: WHAT?
ME: Would you like tea or coffee to drink sir?
PAX: I told you - yes!
ME: Sir, I need to know, do you want the TEA, 'OR' the coffee.
PAX: Tea, black, no sugar! (I pour it - he takes the cup)
2 rows later
PAX: Can I have some milk and sugar please?
(We return, my colleague pours the milk from the silver jug - and instructs the passengers to 'say when').
PAX: I didnt want milk for the tea, I want a coffee with milk!

Another passenger on another flight...
I pour her her requested cup of tea.
PAX: What do you call this - thats disgusting, take it back.
ME: Is there a problem?
PAX: Its too strong.
ME: Im sorry mam, I will make you a fresh cup a bit weaker in a minute.
I return with weaker tea
PAX: Oh, no no no, its still far too strong.
I return with even weaker tea - so much so that its barely tea.
PAX: No, take it back!
I return with a cup of hot water and a tea bag (separate) so she can do it how she likes. I apologise.
PAX: Thats not how you make tea!!! What do you expect me to do with this.
ME: Its a tea-bag - you dunk it in the hot water.
PAX: Dont you have fresh tea and a tea pot?
ME: Im sorry mam, no we dont.
PAX: Just get me a
VB (harsh, cheap and nasty victorian beer).
Return with
VB:
PAX: Its too cold, do you have any that arent so cold.
ME: No sorry mam.
PAX: Well I dont want to pay for it!
