How flight attendants deal with super annoying passengers
A flight attendant has revealed the sneaky way he annoys difficult passengers on his flight that he doesn’t like.
Former cabin crew member James revealed that the main thing he would do to avoid talking to irritating passengers is hold a sick bag.
He told KIIS FM’s Kyle & Jackie O, “Every time I used to go from one end of the plane to the other to eat my lunch, someone would always ask me something.”
“So I used to put a can of coke in a sick bag, put a rubber glove on, and walk through the cabin so it looked like I am holding vomit – no one would ask me for anything.”
He would also flat out lie to passengers he didn’t like, saying he would be back to help them with a request… and then never return.
He said, “If a flight attendant ever says to you, ‘I’ll be right back,’ we don’t like you.”
Another former flight attendant, who runs the Passenger Shaming Instagram account, said that she would often put more ice in drinks for people who annoyed her.
In an interview with Yahoo, she said that she would “take a cup and scoop in a lot of ice, and when I pour the soda or juice in, there’s, like, two tablespoons.”
This watered down cocktail is what she calls “The ‘A***hole Special”, and it’s one that she thinks other flight attendants make as well as a sneaky way to combat difficult passengers.
