This list came to me as an email pass-around, and to be honest, it's the second or third time I've seen it. Nevertheless, I thought it would befun to post here. I wonder which of
these would seem mysterious to people outside of aviation? Probably the same ones that make flight attendants laugh the most! I swear, if flying is not my bread and butter of the current I wouldn’t have guess the feeling.
You know you're a flight attendant if...........
You never unpack
You look to the ceiling when yourdoorbell chimes
You wish you had jet engines mounted in your bedroom so you could fallasleep faster
You don't ever write a full city name (and it bugs your non-aviationfriends):
DTW MCO FCO BOM
You get excited over certain types office
You silently curse every Bose headset-wearing dude --
("Yes, the electronicdevice announcement means you, sir.")
You know how to look fresh in 5 day old clothes
No matter how many times you clean out your suitcase you still find ancient hidden treasures in there
You HATE boarding
You LOVE deplaning
You have figured out that turbulenceis not caused by clouds but by theinitial movement of all meal carts
You can't believe that people let their babies and toddlers play on thefloor of the aircraft cabin -- ewww,nasty
You remember the passengers with great manners (that's sad)
You can't remember when UM's actuallybecame bigger than you
You love foreigners because they can't adequately complain in English
You have to turn your head when you see a passenger in stocking feet enter a lavatory
You secretly cheer when another flight attendant has to deal with the medicalemergency
You HATE on board duty free
You can't stand the frequent flyer who says "I fly more than you..." (yeah,right)
You hate running into your passengers at your layover hotel Blankety-blank tray stackers!
You hate when the heavy drinkers start flirting and calling you by name
You long for the days when it was easy to rig the TV for free movies
You want to smack the nail clipping --finger nail polishing -- nose picking -- snoring passengers
You want no passengers talking to youwhile you are non-revvingEven when you are not working aflight,
you travel in uniform for theliquids, creams and gels exemption
If passengers can't find the flush to the toilet -- they should stay in there till they do!
You wish you had a button to press that would announce, "No I don't havea pen"
You are excited to find a can of different soda that is not supposed to be on your airline
You could scream when people use an empty seat to change their baby's diaper, and don't even put a blanket underneath the little one -- worseyet, they ask if they can change the baby on the floor of the galley!
You know a meaning for "crop-dusting"that has nothing to do with agriculture
You cruise the aircraft after all the passengers have deplaned to find the discarded magazines and paperback novels before the cleaners get them
You can spot the cover of a newcrossword or sudoku book on an airport newsstand rack from 50 feet away
You hate early morning departures --Who in the hell HAS to fly at 6 AM?
You wish every airline manager actually WAS a flight attendant at onepoint in their life (this goes double for flight attendant supervisors)
You can't believe the senior F/A at your airline is in their 80's (doesn'tmatter what airline they all have them)
You try not to go to the bathroom on the plane but you sure can catch a good nap in there
You hate that passengers think they can hear you without taking off theirheadsets
You are glad there are no hiddencameras in the galley
Your non-aviation friends truly don't get the commuting part: "So you have to fly when and your trip startswhere?? "YES,
"Remain seated for the duration of our flight" DOES mean YOU
You can't figure out why your manageris not held accountable for the samethings you are
Your jump seat partner knows more about you than your spouse or life partner
Happy landings!
