I love my job; however, one thing that grates on me is ignorance and silly questions. For example, I recently had a situation during a meal service.
ME: What would you like for your meal Sir?
PAX: What do you have?
ME: We have Chicken with..., Beef with ... and Pasta with...
PAX: Sorry, what do you have to eat?
ME: If you take of your headphones, you might be able to hear me.
Now I wasn't rude, it was to the point and a matter of fact. You can take that any which way you want, but you can't sit there listening to music/movies whilst I'm trying to explain what's on offer, that's rude.
Can you believe that once during a manual safety demo, I had a passenger call out to me to ask me what time we were going to land, DURING the manual demo!!! She was so engrossed in NOT paying attention to it, that she didn't even realise that I was standing there in the aisle with an oxygen mask over my face for a reason other than looking pretty.
