Genius American Public
 

It's no secret that sometimes passengers can be the dumbest people on the planet. Any of you have some good stupid/crazy passenger stories?

I don't know where to begin, my favorite are the people that say "well I don't know why we are delayed for weather, my wife is drinking martinis on our front porch, she says its beautiful.........."

To which I reply: "Good thing she's a drunken twit and not a meteorologists"

Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised."

1. On a Southwest flight 245 (SW has no assigned seating,
you just sit where you want) passengers were apparently having a hard time choosing, when a flight attendant announced, "People, people we're not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it!"

I was delayed on a flight out of LHR because some woman wouldn't get off the phone. Flight attendant came by a few times to say you need to finish your call. Then the purser told her to hang up and waited next to her for her to comply. Eventually Customer service had to come on board to get her to hang up. This was on a 777 so that's a lot of people to inconvenience.

Oh... I like getting asked by pax if I carry an iphone now....:rolleyes: My response usually is, ''we'll give you a PA if we find ourselves in a bind.''

As a passenger enters the aircraft main exit door with ticket in hand...(refering to turbo-props)

They still fly these things? I thought these things were out of service?!

While I was preflighting, I was spinning the prop around to check for nicks and cracks, and this idiot came up to me and asked the typical: "Ya windin' up them rubber bands sony?"

To which I replied: "Yep! And if I spin it around enough times, we might just get all the way to State College!...Here's your sign!"

Sitting in HOU we had a ground stop for ALT due to Wx. A passenger started an argument with our FA stating at the "Marriott says they're still picking up passengers at the airport so the airport must be open, now I’m going to tell the FAA that you guys are abusing us Passengers if we don’t takeoff immediately!" LOL! :eek:

Next time we have a Wx delay I'm going to use a passenger iPhone to call the Marriott! :D

I have several friends who seem to think I make a lot of money now. Little do they know...

R U crazy, I'm L-O-W-D-E-D! With bottles of water, cokes and snacks from the a/c!

My friends have yet to see the lifetime supply of ramen in my pantry...

I got this one from a friend who flies for TSA while in CVG:
A woman was staring bewilderedly at the list of departures. As I quickly checked the screen for my gate info (I was in uniform which instantly makes me the resident expert), she asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure," I said.
"Where's the list of flights departing Cincinnati?"
