6 Mile -
It's all just good fun. Like Bodum said the more we laugh off the things we can't change the more we like our job. Really it keeps me sain.
Anyway to prove I can take the humour that I dish out I will share two gems with you.
First. I kept getting the head count wrong one day. On the thrid attempt I was still 2 over and no one knew where I was going wrong. It was brought to my attention we had a configuration change and I was subtracting from the wrong number of seats. I turn bright red. I then remark "Well I am not a flight attendant because of my IQ."
"No." He says. "The florist shop sacked you!" Hilarious. The pax in the first few rows heard and payed out on me the WHOLE flight!
The other time was when two guys from a rugby team were pillow fighting. It was getting a bit rowdy. I marched on down camper than a row of pink tents. I say in my campest voice "Now fellas. There will be no more of that!" (I was more or less joking. Certainly not telling them off.)
One rugby player turns around and says "Mate. It's better to be a pillow fighter than to be a pillow biter." What a gem! I laughed for weeks!
Smile...
