Michel Hazanavicius got me into trouble
....Because of his movie.
Smack bang in the middle of the service a lady complained that her headset was not working. Being the star that I am, I replaced it immediately despite the hot plates backed up in the galley and told her I would check on her later.
I went back and asked her if things were satisfactory with the replacement...she said no, this new headset was broken too, not an unusual situation on our planes as the cords get frazzled by constant use and break all the time.
Spotting her annoyed face across the cabin after her THIRD headset I went back, feeling quite bad for her plight as she had paid a pretty penny for this First Class seat....
"It is still not working"
she proclaimed, "I cannot hear the talking".
I put the headset against my ear, looked at the screen....and she was watching The Artist- Hollywood silent film blockbuster.
How could I not burst out laughing?!
Some things are just drop-dead funny and defy 'professional' courtesy, i am not an android and this was amusing as hell to me!
Subsequent complaint about feeling I had ridiculed her, had been condescending etc made to my CSM....and I got a dressing down about being more sensitive! Bloody hell

The woman's a complete numpty to complain about the OP when it was her own stupidity to blame.
I've flown all classes, lots of airlines, 100K+ per year, and it's stories like this one that cause me to take a good look around at my fellow passengers and wonder why I bother. Thanks for sharing.
