Tut tut tut... I leave you kids on your own for one moment, and look what you've done.... Now go sit on the naughty step!
Bottom line:
- had a stressful journey to the apt? NOT my problem, not my fault the road was closed for works, i don't work there!
- had a stressful time going through the check-in, security procedures? Again, NOT my problem, i don't work there.
- was your flight delayed because of the weather? Again, NOT my problem, i am not THAT close to God to have a "word" with him about thunder storms.
In fact, i had to go through all of the above, just like you, the grumpy pax. But you don't see me kicking off at the lady behind the till in TK Maxx when some little twa@t messed me about when i was after
that pair of gloves. Why are you going off on one when some little security monster/ground agent did your head in following airport's procedures, and THAT is the cause of your stress??
Yes i feel sorry for you and I'll still smile after you've just sworn at me between your teeth when I've asked you for your boarding card. Why am i still smiling? Because, unlike you the grumpy pax, i have common sense and being polite won't cost me a penny nor will it take longer than 30 secs of my life.
Me thinks that "manners & common sense" should be obligatory subjects in school. Maybe, in a very near future, we won't have "grumpy at aircraft when asked for boarding pass" pax because those pax have attended the above proposed classes.
But then again, that's just me
Uh oh, and FYI, i am NOT being paid to put up with grumpy pax, neither it is "my job" to tolerate these society rejects.
Bring it on then, I'll lead you into the light.
Rgds,
ATS
PS: I wonder how many of the posters have actually boarded 4 flights a day, 5 days a week? How many?
Not that many... thought so.
