The best I can do is a hostie I knew who was mortified by a slip of the tongue once.....
nervous passenger boards flight in Amsterdam.....hostie reassures him 'don't worry Sir, it's just a short flight'...
Hostie also and into AMS. Flight from Dar es Salaam was in late and I guess a lot of passengers has tight connections. As we were taxiing in, people started getting up and fetching stuff out of the overhead lockers. The flight attendant started telling people to remain in their seats until the aircraft had come to a complete stop (in Dutch)
After repeating this three times and being completely ignored, she yelled 'Will you all sit the f**k down, until we stop' (in English)

It made me smile that she thought the command would be more effective in English!
