First nomination - Myself for pulling out the earbuds while sitting 4th on a completely full 3 hour flight. Clueless new guy trick. Yea I'm a complete clutz and my "help" usually just adds more work, but it was pretty insensitive to not even try to use that time to learn a little something about what goes on in the back. The next time I ended up sitting 4th, I acted differently and had a thoroughly enjoyable flight "helping" and learning something new about how our crews do things enroute.
As long as you don’t grab a snack basket and start handing out snacks during the flight like a major tool bag FO did when I was DHing a few years ago.
While I was deplaning he had donned white rubber gloves and was helping the FAs clean while saying goodbye to the pax. I was so incensed that I waited to talk to him on the jetway and asked him what he thought his actions in the public eye did to uphold our profession. Completely clueless.
