That is hilarious! Yeah, people can be pretty clueless. My favorite story happened about five years ago, when I was sitting in an exit row with my kids. The flight attendant gave us the exit row briefing, asked if we were willing to help in event of emergency. We all said yes, but I guess I don't look too tough, since the guy in front of me turned around and said, "Don't worry, honey, if something happens, I'll help you out". To which I smiled, and said, "Well, seeing as I've been either a military or airline pilot for over 25 years now, I think I can figure it out." My kids laughed hysterically. Poor guy, he turned bright red and turned around.
