Perhaps passengers would be a little more understanding if crews took the time to explain what was going on instead of "hiding". While no-one deserves a punch in the face, equally passengers deserve to be treated with respect and told what is going on. If you had tried speaking with the pax instead of being rude you probably would not have gotten punched. Yes the man was irate, but you dont know what his circumstances were.
Peoples jobs are as difficult as they choose to make them, crews always complain about how nasty some passengers are, heres a tip for everyone, try being nice to your passengers, they might surprise you.
