My how things have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The meetings and events industry involves working with various professions within the hospitality industry as a whole. And whenever you\u2019re dealing with the public there are sure to be those unpleasant experiences. A flight attendant is also a hospitality professional that deals with the public. And, as you would expect, they have a few little pet peeves of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airline_Complaints_Things_That_Drive_a_Flight_Attendant_Nuts\"><\/span>Airline Complaints: Things That Drive a Flight Attendant Nuts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123235229im_\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/images\/2014\/07\/airline-complaints-from-flight-attendants-%E2%80%93-photo-by-lonelyplanetcom-300x160.gif\" alt=\"a word cloud regarding airline complaints\" width=\"300\" height=\"160\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-21018\">photo by lonelyplanet.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123235229\/http:\/\/www.readersdigest.ca\/home-garden\/13-things-you-didnt-know\/13-things-your-flight-attendant-wont-tell-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reader\u2019s Digest<\/a>, here are a few items that, apparently, make a flight attendant want to jump out of the airplane (and if I recall, one actually did a couple years back \u2013 on the tarmac of course):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Controlling Children.&nbsp;<\/strong>Many parents, once airborne, think of the cabin as a free-for-all for their child. I\u2019m with the flight attendants on this one \u2013 control your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using the Washroom When the Service Carts Are in the Aisle.&nbsp;<\/strong>There are always one, two, three or more passengers that get the urge to use the facilities once the service has begun. Which of course slows down food and beverage service for the entire aircraft. Plan people, plan\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Those Hygiene Habits That Really Should Be Done in Private.&nbsp;<\/strong>Clipping one\u2019s nails, disposing of tissues etc. should all be done in private. Period.

No, they are not magicians. If your bag is too big, check it. It\u2019s not that hard people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rudeness.<\/strong>&nbsp;There is no need for it. I heard a saying once which will help you when evaluating a new relationship, client etc.: you can judge a person\u2019s personality by how they treat their service personnel. Try it, it works every time. I have not been wrong yet. Mind you, I have no friends\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The \u201cTouching\u201d.&nbsp;<\/strong>You\u2019re not going to believe this but, apparently, flight attendants have ears. So you really don\u2019t have to tug on their coat sleeve, or poke them, to get their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_may_also_enjoy_these_travel_related_posts\"><\/span>You may also enjoy these travel related posts:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123235229\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/kind-airline-passenger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What Kind of Airline Passenger Are You<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123235229\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/believe-air-travel-luxurious-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Believe It or Not Air Travel Was Once Luxurious (Photos)<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210123235229\/http:\/\/mastertheevent.com\/youre-going-believe-travel-complaints-theyre-real\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You\u2019re Not Going to Believe These Travel Complaints (But They\u2019re Real)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Airline_complaints_are_a_two-way_street_Were_certainly_used_to_hearing_travel_complaints_from_passengers_After_reading_these_airline_complaints_from_flight_attendants_Im_starting_to_think_that_it_takes_a_special_type_of_person_for_that_job_One_that_has_a_lot_of_patience\"><\/span>Airline complaints are a two-way street.
