Talking Flight Attendants nicknames

I was just wondering what are some of the best nick names you have been called?

For example like “Trolley Dolly” etc……..

Always liked 'Bunchucker' myself but too afraid to actually use it face to face.
'Hostie' is my preferred term.

ever seen the Channel 9 Footy Show?

(for Rugby League) There is this hilarious character called 'Trent the Flight Attendant'.

Flying to ROK and the AC was FULL of these big Kiwi footy players, they all decided to ignore the real name of the poor male flight attendant I was flying with and called him 'Trent' the entire sector. (Cheeky buggers - it was very funny!)

Fortunately, he had a great sense of humour and played along with it.

This dirty backpacker on one of my flights once yelled out to me "Stewart" to which I (with a confused look) said "sorry mam my name is ******" to which she replied "huh?" I said "you called me Stewart, my name is actually ****** (pointing to badge)", she then said "no I called you steward" to which I replied "yes passenger, can I get you something?"

Steward!!!! Pfffrtt as if! This is Oz.
