while going to brief my exit pax...
me: excuse me sir, sorry to bother you but as you're sat on the emergency exit..
SLF: *looks totally blank* huh what
me: as you're sat on the emergency exit
SLF: what do you mean?
me: *says it s-l-o-w-l-y* see that door you're sat next to, its an emergency exit.. see the big EXIT sign?
SLF: mmmm, right...
I'd be here all night if I continued the rest of the conversation
From my days of being on the ground:
PAX: Can we be somewhere near the front?
me: yes, is row 3 ok for you?
PAX: Is that near the front?
me: no the seat rows are numbered 1, 2, 4 all the way through to 40 then row 3 is there
PAX: oh right, so nothing near the front then?
again when they think we make PA's for fun, and how the instructions to them apply to everyone but THEM
I think I need to work somewhere else
preferably with animals.. I might get more sense from them
