I had these mid thirty year old guys on my BNE to Emerald flight the other evening. I was doing my thing with the Safety Demo and the Life Jacket and these two thought it was pretty funny. (Now I can understand that it may be a little funny to see a full on safety demo - life jacket included - on a Dash 8 36 seater departing for the desert, so initially I smiled politely back at them and went on with what has to be done). By the end of the demo they were in loud fits of laughter - I am talking tears rolling down cheeks! Well, I juust happened to find this a little embarassing (humilating) and VERY distracting to my job.
Come service time, the ring leader then asked "Could you get me a
VB, darl?" I said "Certainly Sir" (still smiling, still nice) "I will be RIGHT BACK!" Needless to say, everyone else was slurping on their second round of cold drinks and this rude man got his beer (singular not plural) at top of descent.
Moral of the story is: Never be mean to the lady in charge of the Beer cart.
