Almost everytime I get on a full employee bus. One (or two) of the aforementioned flight attendants will have her rollerbored underneath the baggage stow area with the handle bar raised (along with all their kit bags still attached). Doesn’t seems like much of a big deal but with their handle bar raised and the top of the shelf only a few inches above the handle bar it blocks anyone from trying to put their luggage in the middle shelf.

It would be nice if they wernt so lazy and put their handle bar down on their roller board. But I guess that would mean they wouldn’t actually have to take smaller bags off from resting on their handle bar in order to do so. And since they are so entitled and won’t quit blocking the shelf, every time I see them do that I purposefully hit their handle bar when putting my luggage on the shelf and say “sorry your handle bars in the way.” Maybe someday they will learn.

If you're not (the most probable), the handle would extend as soon as she grabs it. Either way your "Tool" nomination appears to have rebounded.

Yeah... she’s a self absorbed bone head. But seriously... how difficult is to ask the F/A if they mind if you lower their handle. Or just lower the bloody handle yourself.

wow...

I know only 5% of the pilots are female, but at least 40% of the NK FAs are male.
