I don't know what the odds of an iron catching a mattress on fire, but I do know that when caught on fire, one will burn rather quickly!!! Her odds can't be to damn good!!!

Captain takes a long look at me. "Who are you with?"
Me: "Skywest, Captain."
Captain gives me a look like I'd just relieved myself in his cornflakes. "You people are taking our flying, you know."
Me: "Well, sir, I'm just trying to get to work and I was just hoping you could help me out."
Captain (aggrieved sigh): "Do you HAVE to sit up here with us?"
Me: "Well sir, the flight is 10 oversold, but I'm happy to sit in back if a seat happens to open up."
Captain (louder aggrieved sigh): "Fine. If you MUST ride, then you must."
What made it hard to keep a straight face was that during this entire conversation, both the F/O and the lead F/A were standing behind the CA making silly faces and trying to imitate Mr. Grumpypants's facial expressions.
Same Captain then spent the rest of the flight complaining about the temerity of regional pilots who shouldn't be allowed to fly anything bigger than a Metroliner.
When he got up to use the lav, the instant the door closed, the F/O turns to me and goes "Can you believe that guy? I've been having to put up with this ---- for the past 4 days. I'm about ready to lock him out of the --- cockpit. Let me buy you a coffee when we land, to apologize." He was very kind. But I insisted on buying HIM the coffee
I got to work on time, though.

OK if you at could have at least asked "Do you mind?". Tool of the day.

Tool of the day belongs to a captain who just got on the PA and told the pax,"Ok folks we have an APU Bleed MEL and that is why is warm back there. We will start an engine here at the gate then we will crossbleed shortly thereafter. 4 hours 4 minutes, welcome aboard."

Reminds me of a trip I had a couple weeks ago, the F/A's were having trouble getting the cabin lights to dim for the long night flight. A passenger complained to one of the F/A's, "I'm a retired FAA Maintenance Inspector! Tell the Captain he needs to come back here and FIX THESE LIGHTS!"
Um...Yeah...I'll be right there, just let me finish my ATP Home Study Course first, then I'll start pulling all these circuit breakers, and then....
