I dont consider myself a bad hostie, i am always poliate to my passenger no matter how rude they are to me!
HOWEVER i have 2, ok 3 things i hate most
1. Standing up when seat belt sign is on, usually when taxi-ing to gate
2. Talk or not watching the demo
3. when i say "coffee" a passenger puts their cup on my tray and replies, "no tea thanks" as if im carrying a magic pot!
its god damn rude to talk during the demo, especially if ur at an over wing or emergency exit, but just do as i do
warn them or ask them once to please put ur paper down and pay attention, if that fails, wait till the end and ask a few simple questions, "where is ur nearest exit apart from this one" "how many exits in total" usually shuts them up!
but i had a gentleman on my flight last week who sat in row one with his paper in the aisle which ment i had to ask him to move every time i had to bend over to pick up oxygen mask or seatbelt etc... so i simply removed it from his hand! if ur reading this sir... sorry but it was p*ssing me off!
