Had a few passengers this week who didn't seem to realise that what I was doing was for their safety!
>Passengers who had to be told several times to stow their bags. I explained that having their bags on their laps could impede them escaping from the plane if we had to evacuate or they could trip over them.
>A mother who was content to let her child sleep through landing sprawled across his seat without fastening his seatbelt. I had to explain that when we hit the runway we would be travelling VERY quickly and her son could be injured. DUH! Yes he's sleeping I can see that but do you want him to go flying through the air or hit his head on the seat in front?
>Passengers annoyed that we were not serving hot drinks in turbulance. Do they want to get burnt?
Do they want me to get burnt too?
>Passengers annoyed that they could not exit the plane from the rear door as there was no ground staff members to stand at the bottom to guide them off. Despite explaining this and saying that CAA regulations stated that we could not let them do it and health and safety regulations also stated we could not allow it one woman still argued with us!
>Passenger trying to use the loo when the seatbelt signs were on. I don't really care if you get injured but the paperwork I would have to do if you were makes me tell you to sit back down. Now.
Sigh. Why do I bother.
