Thanks for understanding my point. This was all just supposed to be fun.

If you had read my post carefully I did say these comments were made as
I greeted said pax. All I expect from my pax is the civility and courtesy I extend to them. I will give back (to the point where I can get away with it) anything you throw at me however. And the only time we would mock a pax is when they are inappropriate and it is a way of dealing with it. As we cannot always give back what they give us. If someone was to yell at me "f**k off!" I would. Being around that person any longer could cause a major distruption.
Perhaps by turning awkward situations into humour that is how we deal with the few people whom act inappropriately toward us.
If I am rude to someone I would expect to be treated as such in return. However I challenge eal401 or any other person here to identify I time where I have not been gracious and accommodating.
Please note I am not talking about rude pax. I was simply talking about people who ask strange questions or make offensive comments - thinking it is OK. In each example I gave I never said these people were rude. In fact I shared a couple of jokes with the women who said I looked tired.
Of course the pax pay our wages. And without the few odd ones our jobs would be very boring. I think some of you have taken this post the wrong way. I just wanted to hear some inappropriate comments that have been made to others. This was all just about fun and seeing what other comments our lovely pax come up with. Like I said I think it is hilarious people think they can speak to us in whatever manner they wish or ask us any question they please.
I guess it is because we try to come across as so open and friendly. After 3.5 years I just cannot get over how 'open and friendly' so people think we are!
I can understand by the way I wrote my post it may come across as bitter. Nothing could be further from the truth. I thrive on interaction with others. Was just wanting to have a laugh.

She said I had a Jewish nose?!
Again - not something I would think to say to a total stranger but there you go...
