It's Saturday. I'm having my day off. And I want to write some things (might be some weird things), what you don't see as passenger. I'll be writing these things (at least I'll try) every week (or month).
1. I'm trying to squat and hold myself on heels all the time. I mean - what is the most "bacteria-full" place on the airplane? That's that! So, who needs gym after that?!
2. I'm trying not to show it on my face, when I see people walking bare feet in the aisle, in the plane. But my inner self goes - "Yack, do you know, how many people are walking in and out of that aircraft daily?! I mean - yack, yack, yack!"
3. I'm trying to stay calm, when passengers just don't know, how to place their bags in the overhead lockers. I mean - you weren't born yesterday. What is wrong with you? And how many bags are you taking with you? Who let you do this? (I mean - sometimes I get pretty angry on airport staff, who let people walk pass them with two/three bags). Where I should put 150 bags, if there are only 120 seats in the aircraft?
4. I'm trying to smile and calm people down, who just want to share "all their pain and hurt" about everything. Who am I? A psychologist? I have 111 other things to do, what you have no clue, because all what you think is that, air hostess are such a queens and they are just flying all around the world, smiling, doing nothing. You have no clue how many things should be done in 1-4 hour flight, how many procedures should be done and reported. Just think about it.
5. You can only imagine my face, when passenger opens full overhead locker and can't close it back.
"LOCKER BLOCKED, GO THAT WAY!" (inside joke with my group)
6. When you are going with BOB (buy on board) trolley, and people are standing up to go to WC. And then... they are waiting, and waiting, they become more and more, and I just can't bent over to take a snack or coffee, because there are ten people standing right behind me. C'mon!
7. The questions. The questions, what passengers asks. You just can't imagine.
For example: "What was that mountains name we flew like 2 hours ago?" Like - what?
