Haha very good flyingazorian......but you forgot to mention a couple...
Let your family hand you all their rubbish at the same time, and see how many different places you can balance it all!!
Ask your family to throw crumbs, newspapers and chewing gum on the floor then see how quickly you can clean it all, whilst still looking glamorous and smilling!!

what!?
what are you on about 900? I love my job, it was just for a laugh! I promise. If I didn't like my job I'd certainly not use a public forum to talk (write) about it,believe me. I do sincerely hope that people in this forum take the above text for what it is: just for a laugh. Where's your sense of humour? You really misunderstood the whole thing. 
If I have, in any way, shape or form, offended you, I do apologize. It was never my intention to offend anybody.

sinala1....Who does 900 remind you of?
Think about it ..
Charisma by-pass..
"if you don't like your job you can always leave"
"why are you moaning"....
"There are a lot of people who want your job"
....And a supercillious "please" after they smile like a politician during an election....
..................That's right CC management
By the way flyingazorian..Very clever,anyone who has flown as cabin crew will understand everything in your post and will not be offended.
What is the one thing that we all have to have in our job....a sense of humour...
