Had a skip years ago that used to be nicknamed "FM" as he was always on the P.A.
I asked him why he chatted so frequently as all the pax were surely, at that time of the day, going to be businesspeople.
"Nah", he assured me, "they love it". Just then the hostie brought in a note for him (as it turned out, from one of our pax).
Without opening it, he handed it over to me and said, confidently, "here, you read it...I get these thank-you notes all the time."
I opened it. It said, simply:
FOR GOD'S SAKE, SHUT UP.
True story.
