The other day I had an old lady staring at me. Like when I was up at the gate, dead set eyes on me the entire time. When she was boarding, same thing. Now I’m far from Brad Pitt, or Sean Connery is probably more her speed at her age.
Like either ask me if I’m too young to fly this thing, or set me up with your granddaughter, but please stop staring

It folds down, but the man in front of you can feel it when you move it , so NEVER slam it up or down or it will move his seat. Now, the most important thing, don't EVER kick this seat in front of you. The man sitting in it will feel it and it will be very uncomfortable. You wouldn't want someone shaking your seat right? So don't do it to someone else"
Mom of the freaking year right there!

Ha one of the best I ever heard was on a CRJ when the pax says to the captain “man this plane is small.” The captain in his Dutch accent winks and says “don’t call a guys thing small...” the pax response....”it’s not the size of the plane it’s how ya fly it!!”
I also remember flying with one FA who was being aggressively hit on by a passenger. She was handling it like a champ. As the pax deplanes, right in front of me, he says to her (both were Afro American) «I’m in the mood for something hot and black and you’ve already served me coffee so what’s up?!” She smiled and waved bye while I had to spend a few minutes searching for my jaws whereabouts on the floor.

Yesterday I listened to two passengers complaining about the airport PA announcements also being in Spanish. One wondered aloud “why these announcements gotta be in Mexican?”. I was completely unaware that “Mexican” was a language. 🙄
