Sorry to hear that GalleyWench. But your plight made me think. The cockpit crew fly with their seat belts loosely fastened. The passengers are strongly advised to do the same even when the sign is not illuminated. I reckon you F/As should be paid "danger" money for the job you do!
A few weeks ago my wife and another lady (in adjacent aisle seats) were quick enough to stop a runaway trolley from crashing into the back of an unsuspecting F/A. It was a close call and would for sure have caused her serious injury.
So get on to your unions to negotiate a "danger" allowance!
This is going to make me popular with airline managers
