After making my arrival PA (saying we'd be on the ground in 20 minutes at 10:10 when our flight was scheduled to arrive at the gate at 10:30) FA calls up and says "you just said we'll be on the ground at 10:10, but we're not supposed to land until 10:30. Which one is it?" She was new...

At the hotel restaurant with the whole crew -
FA to server: “Do you know if the ground beef is grass fed?”
Server to FA: “Yes, 100% grass fed beef”
FA to server: “Ok good because I am thinking of becoming a vegetarian but want to see what a veggie burger tastes like first”
CA to all: “That’s not how it works....”
(She ordered it anyway, and said it tastes just like a real burger. Because it was.)

Back when we flew with the same crew for the month:
FA: “How was your vacation?”
Me: “Great, thanks! I went to Paris and southern France.”
FA: “I thought you were going to Europe.”
Me: “..........well, yes...”

The airlines especially the regionals clearly know what they are hiring. The FA’s they hire are a known quantity. When the pay is in the toilet you can only expect a certain group of people that’s just a fact. Honestly nothing against them this is really all managements fault.

Here’s my top three...
Pulled into the gate in Vegas years back with a fresh young newbie...she drops the door...
“Who’s “Ali - Giant” I’ve never heard of them?
Me: huh? Do we have some band or something on board?
“No that airplane over there... “Ali-GIANT”?
Look to my left - “oh, allegiant”? 🤦🏾*♂️
Another memorable one... on descent into SFO past Point Reyes... ding, dong.. yess... “hey, what’s the name of that bridge on our left, it’s really pretty”
One last one...
Took off outta LAX for SAT... about :30 in.. ding, dong..
Hey, is that Mexico City off our right...
Uh, no... that be Imperial and Mexicali..
Are you sure? The hemispheres route map shows us going by Mexico City.

With a totally straight face the CA replied 'Hawaii'. And she bought it, completely. 'Really? Wow! Hawaii! Huh, it looks smaller than I expected'. (The Farallons are basically just a couple of large rocks that you could barely fit a few houses on.)

Air Canada Flight 143 FA to Cpt/FA as they are sorting out a problem with mx on the ground with the fuel quantity processor: "wouldn't it be funny if we ran out of gas?" 
She wasn't laughing 45 minutes later.
