During my airline flying years, often did moonlight as Learjet pilot.
Had to make extra $$$ since we airline pilots are paid such high salaries...!
The worst was often,
no cockpit door - no privacy.

Among passengers, always was one that knew how to fly better than me.
Or the "rich and famous" asking you to serve them a double whisky.
That when you are busy copying a departure clearance and taxiing.

But the worst was the
annunciator panel with red or yellow lights.
I always tried to cover some of these lights with a masking tape.
These lights
are my business, not theirs

There were 2 lights saying
L/R ENG ICE... NO, we're not going to crash.
And NO, it is not ice cubes for their vodkas.
The worst light was "
LOW FUEL".
To their (drunk) mind - means "imminent crash, out of fuel"...
Wish we had a "rich and famous
low booze" warning instead.
