Drunk and Drunker

A couple boarded, or maybe I should say tried to board our flight from Brussels while carrying their drinks in hand. At first it seemed kind of innocent enough until they got to their seats and immediately broke out their bottle. They couldn't even sit down first. The woman was called to the front and told you could not drink your own alcohol on the plane. This is when we could tell she was already drunk. Her response? "Where does it say that? You have to have signs, I don't see any signs saying that." It was determined MR. & Mrs Jim Beam would not be taking the flight with us that day. She then told us she would "come find us...come find us all" I'm waiting

They have a life time

the day I was on a flight to Frankfurt which has now been dubbed "lil Mumbai" or frank-n-deli for high instances of people traveling to and from India by or through Frankfurt. The highest number of complaints from passengers are from these flights, they tend to be a people who like to complain. I'm not sure why, and thought the rumors of that were a little silly. I used to like to fly there, now not so much. It always seems like someone at some point is going to try a mess you, and I don't know why this is. And I'm a relatively quiet, reserved person so I'm usually the last person people mess with at least until I'm on these flights. Frankfurt has been a full flight for some time now due to our new alliances, usually overbooked, way overbooked. On this flight, due to weather( thank you Newark) some people missed their connection so our trip to Frankfurt now had a few opened seats.
A man came up to me during boarding to tell that he and his wife were separated and could they sit together. I explained that it was to be a full flight and I'd see about moving people around once everyone boarded. Since people hadn't show up there was now a seat right next to the man, between him and another. As I'm walking through he once again asked if his wife could take the seat so that they could sit together, I said sure, of course, why not? Well, half way through the flight the man from the other side comes to the back to talk to me. Very angry, he says he'd like to have a word with me and I've greatly upset him. He said I should never have moved that woman and that I obviously don't care about my passengers. I said I do care that's why I told the couple they could sit together. How could I tell a couple they could not sit together when clearly there's an empty seat right next to the husband? He started to tell me he was a platinum member and didn't want anyone next to him. Alarmed I asked if he had purchased the seat next to him(people do that sometimes instead of first class). He hadn't but said it shouldn't matter I could have moved them somewhere else, he had wanted more room. And there were empty seats up front too, so it's not like he couldn't have sat there, had he paid for it. The fact the FC was not very full was the sole reason I had to work in the back. I explained if everyone had made the flight there would have been someone there regardless. If you want no one next to you, you have to buy the seat. For the record, the couple slept the entire flight so they were a bother to no one. Well, no one except Mr. 26D. He didn't care, he said I was rude and the couple had a lifetime to be together. I'm currently waiting for my letter of how terrible a flight attendant I am.

Procrastination is my middle name

Wow, I first did this in 2006? I'm not even sure why or how I started this, and it seems like that's all I did, start it. I have a problem with putting things off. There's so much I want/plan to do and this pretty much sums it up. Life seems to be just flying away. And I'm going with it. Where its gone I dont remember. Where its going, who the the hell knows. Where do I want to go? I have a list. Will I get to any of them? Possibly...will I remember, probably not much.

I'm a bit lost. I think that's why I became a flight attendant. I knew I didn't want to stay in one place but wasnt sure where I wanted to be. I still dont know where I want to be. I have ideas but I dont implement any of them. I sometimes feel like I'm waiting for something to find me. It hasnt. Or maybe it has and I've ignored it. I would doubt it. I ignore a lot, especially in people. I ignore warning signs. I dont know why. I'm pretty pragmatic. I don't make much sense. I'm a bundle of contradictions. And I ramble aimlessly. It's one reason I dont like talking to people, I start one place and end up somewhere completely different. Aimless maybe that's why I became a flight attendant
