I was once had a pax freak out and shout "oh my god we're going down is this normal?" .... urm yes that's how you land madam! lol

Was working on a cruise ship last year at "Guest Relations" and a guest asked the Captain in a question and answer session how the crew got home every day.

The Captain laughed and jokingly said that a helicopter takes them to and from the ship.

At the end of the cruise we had a negative comment card saying that the crew helicopter kept the guest up half the night!!!! he he he! :)

"The clouds are moving quick today."

Some of my faves! ...

"Do these stairs go up and down?"

Guest: "Did anyone die in my room, I think there's a ghost in the wardrobe.." (noise was caused by ship's movement in turn making the hangers move!)

"Could you train the dolphins and whales to jump at command please."

"What time is the Midnight buffet tonight?" (hmmmm..let me think!)

Bless them! :)

ha ha
 

pax on my first flight asked me how do you wind down the window!!!!!!!!!!! Thought i was being set up but noooooo, he was just very dumb

I still love when the pax go to the bathroom, and they look at the door in a state of confusion and try opening the door with the ashtray, or lifting the door handle up. I roll my eyes every time. lol.

"It opens just like the door on your trailer," I add helpfully :cool:

Toilet doors:
Well, maybe the airlines or manufacturers should make it more clear. What's second nature to anyone au fait with aircraft can be confusing to some people completely out of their element. What's the matter with prominent PUSH, PULL, LIFT, KICK, or whatever, placards?
Now, how do I post this thread...

Oh Virginia, you are just too funny.

LOL - that's hilarious SteveF. (What's the "F" stand for?)

I'm suprised anyone who can't work out how to open a toilet door could get their way to an airport and onto a flight. Taxi doors, check-in, baggage, aerobridges....... What a nightmare. Then to get those darn seat belts on and off - OMG life is so complicated!!! LOL


Anyway - I we are desperate enough we will get in there one way or another.

Or just do it in the aisle.

Di :yuk:

You forgot to mention trying to find their seat in the first place :)

Walking on the aircraft trying to figure out which seats are ABC DEF, the concentration required...

Of course I mean this in all good fun, it's just funny how thick people become as soon as they step onto the aircraft, or probably the airport.

Another of my eye-rollers is when they step on the aircraft at L1, and they say 'which way do I go'. Do they really think there are rows forward of the flight deck?

For people who are flying for the first time ofcourse they don't know where to go. Not everybody knows where to go! It's just like walking into a supermarket and asking where the croceries are :hmm: Like you said though, just good fun.

Cheers,
Sam :ok:

being asked if you HAVE to be gay to be a flight attendant.
the fact that im the 'only straight in the village' makes me laugh!.

On one flight out of Mumbai:

Pax: Stewardess, stewardess, may I have a Whisky please

cc: Sure, would you like your whisky on the rocks Sir?

Pax: (after some thoughtful moment) No, I would like my whisky on the table.

Bless them!

It's strange but I find that loads of people turn dumb when they go on holiday. Maybe it's because they are more relaxed than usual?

I worked at a ferry port with crossings to France and Spain and the passengers would always forget that they needed their p-ports or think they were going to the Isle of Wight!

Weird!?

[quote=Diatryma;3049843]LOL - that's hilarious SteveF. (What's the "F" stand for?)

Any reason for asking, other than to make juvenile innuendoes? Thought not...

A bathroom on an aircraft?? I've seen toiletts but never bathrooms. Do they also have showers?

Tulip 2007, I think you are right, I think people feel invincible on holidays, and lose all common sense for those few weeks of the year, and fair enough too!

Ha ha Lancelot37. The most famous comment of all....is there anywhere I can have a shower.... Though I have only heard this on long haul.

SMART A-- ANSWER OF THE YEAR 2006


A college teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!" A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?" The entire class is reduced to laughter and snickering. When silence is restored, the teacher smiles knowingly at the student, shakes her head and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand.

Sorry. Just being juvenile as you say.
