If the bus is basically empty, whatever, no big deal. But if you're boarding with a dozen other crew members, have a little situational awareness.
Amen. Happens all the time. No awareness at all. I’ve grown tired of having to hurdle their handles in order to stow my bag, so I just push their extended handle down like it should have been in the first place.

Yep, I do the same! Pilots are just as guilty as flight attendants where I’m from.

Ugh, I’ve seen a pilot do that. I was behind one the other day actually.

Pilots are just as bad for this. Also just get a passport-card for $20 the next time you renew, punch a hole in it, put it on your lanyard and you don't even have to pull your wallet out any more. Works for JS too, with the exception of SWA, they want full size.

That and the TSA guy laying down on the luggage rack under the sign that says, “don’t sit here” while using his cell on speakerphone.

This has become the new norm. Speakers in public with no regard to those around you.

Like highbeams on the highway, it seems to be a new trend.

I’ve been playing music on speakerphone louder than their speakerphone conversation. Works well.

I like how they look at us when we do this. Like we just infringed on their rights and took something away from them.

I also like to do it when sitting in a bathroom stall and person next to me is playing something.

I’d like to get an edited clip from Austin Powers with Tom Arnold edited out to play in that situation.

Just grab a hold of something and give it hell! We’re gonna get through this!
