I know what you mean about pax pulling at the ashtray to get in to the toilet!!
Here are a few of mine:-
* Pax asking "Do you know where the toilet is?" No we dont know, we only work here.
* On one flight someone asked me "Where are we going?" Like, where did you buy a ticket to?
* Pax refusing to put their luggage in overhead locker when seated at emergency exits. "I cant put my bag up it has our passports in it" Yeh and there is noone in the lockers to steal them.
* People trying to hand you sick bags when you are serving food or doing the drinks trolley.
* During turbulence someone asked if the pilot could please stop flying over the bumps.
* During a delay due to a tech problem one man said can we not just go anyway i have a meeting to attend to.
Why cant pax just have a bit of common sense sometimes?
