				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">OK, I am going to break it down for you. Don’t be an asshole when you fly. Entering an aircraft is no excuse to lose all common sense yet many of you do so. Ordering a drink is a fairly simple process, please don’t make it so fucking difficult.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="MsoNormal">1. Be Prepared. Listen to the announcements we make regarding what is available, and/or look at the inflight menu in the magazine located directly in front of your face. It’s 2 inches away, grab it.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. <strong>DO NOT</strong> ask “What do you have?” unless you want daggers shooting deep into your soul from my beautiful blue eyes. Also, I can not be held responsible for what will more than likely be a less-than-friendly response such as &#8220;Not a lot of time, pick something&#8221;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3. Ask for <strong>exactly</strong> what you want.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. If you would like something in your coffee please ask for it <strong>WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER. </strong></p>
<p><em>*Side note: A &#8220;black coffee&#8221; does not include cream and sugar, asshole.*<strong><br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. If you would like cream and/or sugar that is great, however if you wait until after I serve you the coffee, and walk back a few rows as I am already on to the next few passengers I will punch you in the throat.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>6. <strong>DO NOT</strong> ask me for 2 ice cubes. If you do, I will pick them up with my fingers and plop them into your cup. Really, two?? Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>7. Don’t touch the cart, and do not even think about helping yourself to whatever you want off of it. Just ask. Would it be OK for me to come to your office and start grabbing shit off of your desk? Yeah, I didn’t think so.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>8. If you need to get my attention, kindly ask for it like a normal human being. Maybe an old fashioned “excuse me”. I do not take well to someone pulling at my blouse, trousers, apron, tapping my shoulder, flailing their arms in front of me, snapping their fingers, shaking their cup, etc. NOT. FUCKING. COOL. Keep your hands to yourself and be polite. I mean seriously, who raised you?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>9. Don’t even try to pull a fast one on us, we’re not idiots &#8212; and most of us even have at least a 4-year degree (!). If we come to your row and serve everyone else in it (while you’re too busy listening to your iPod, fake sleeping, and totally ignoring us) and you do not reply, that’s it. You’ve had your chance. I am not playing that back-and-forth from row to row bullshit during a 1-hour flight. Sorry about your luck.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>10. We cannot take trash from you during our beverage service. Do you want someone’s half-eaten sandwich, napkins they wiped their nasty-ass mouth with and rotten banana peels touching your cups? I promise we’ll come back after everyone else is served, that is if you can wait the FIVE MINUTES.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>11. When I am making eye contact and asking your seatmate what THEY would like, please let THEM answer. If it is a female and you talk over them, you are a douche. I always ask ladies first, and if I am asking them and you cut them off with your dumb-ass yelling of the word “COKE” I will fill your cup up with as much ice as possible and add just a teeny-weenie (size of your dick) splash of COKE to it. Jerk-off.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">12. If you tip me (and yes, <strong>I</strong> WILL take tips – I made less than $18K last year), you will most definitely be treated like a king or queen.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>(NOTE: Flight attendants do not expect tips and many will not/can not accept them. I am only speaking for myself, so calm down.)</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">13. It’s not rocket science.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>OK, but seriously…who would think that it is remotely acceptable to use such items inside of an enclosed metal tube with recirculated air?!</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nail Polish.</strong>   For the love of God, do NOT paint your nails during a flight. Everyone will hate you and a stew may punch you in the throat. By the by, you&#8217;re not the ONLY person on the plane. Kthx.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Markers.</strong>   One is fine, 48 Sharpies = Not Fucking Cool.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bad Gas.</strong>   Kindly refrain from eating for 24 hours prior to flight.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hairspray.</strong>   Take it easy, Tammy Faye.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nail Polish Remover.</strong>   Please see # 1, asshole.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cheap-Ass Perfume.</strong>   Ladies here’s a little tip for you, take a bath and thoroughly wash your ‘Bermuda Triangle’. There ain’t no covering up that nastiness if your biznatch isn’t clean.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Strong Cheap Cologne.</strong>   Example: Axe Body Spray. Just no. Women do NOT like that shit. It will more than likely repel any female over the age of 16 (free dating tip, you&#8217;re welcome).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>Compound W.</strong>   Yes, this actually happened on one of my flights. Some asshole was TREATING HIS WARTS ON THE PLANE!</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If for some reason you have never read the subtitle to my blog, I was a police officer back in the day. So yes, I am very anal about this shit (yes, I said anal).</p>
<div>So yeah – here are my security tips for flight crew. Use them so you don’t get raped and/or murdered. I don’t want any of you bastards to wake up dead on an overnight.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Social Media:</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div></div>
<div>For the love of God, whilst on an overnight please do NOT check into your hotel on Foursquare, Facebook or Twitter. Not only are you advertizing exactly where you are to potential “strangers”, but also that you will be there all alone for the evening. If you’re a lucky whore and not alone, fuck–go for it.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>If you MUST check-in please consider using the privacy features that give you the ability to edit people into different “groups”, and only publish your location to those on your trusted list.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div></div>
<div>Checking into airports is safe, in my opinion. I do it to meet up with fellow crewmembers if I am on a long sit. There are thousands of people there at any given time, so I’m cool with that.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong>Hotel: </strong></div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>If you are checking-in to your room and the clerk loudly announces your room number in a crowded lobby, kindly ask for another room. They will pick up what you’re putting down, as they are aware that they are not supposed to do such.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Use only initials and last name when signing in to your hotel. Make certain the hotel personnel stows away the sign-in information before you leave the area. Also, write down the room numbers of your crew and notify them if you change your room.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>I once worked on a teeny Barbie jet where I was the only stew, so it was just me and two pilots. They were very protective of me! If you aren’t lucky enough to have a Captain or FO that will make sure you get to your room safely, please do the following:</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>When you arrive to your room prop the door fully open with your <del>rollerboard</del> rollaboard. Walk in, turn on the lights and check every room, behind doors, closets, bathroom, shower, behind curtains and drapes, under the bed, etc. to make sure that no one is there. Yes, I actually do this. Every single time. Unfortunately many a stew has been raped or worse because they were unaware that someone was hiding in their room. Taking the 60 seconds to do a quick check could potentially save your life.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Once you are safely locked in your room and kicking it, do not answer the door unless it is a (yummy) crewmember. If a hotel employee/repairman/etc. knocks on your door, call the front desk and verify what they are there for. If it is a housekeeper I typically just speak to them through the door (“GTFO”). Also, if you must open the door, you can always use the safety lock that prevents the door from fully opening.</div>
</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<div><strong>During Flight:</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>JFC! DO NOT EVER TELL A PASSENGER WHERE WE STAY! I have been on many a flight where FAs actually tell random people the name and location of our hotel. WHAT. THE. FUCK.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Of course people ask me all the time, but I NEVER tell them. I mean if <em>you</em> want to get raped that’s all good – but I’m not down for that shit, yo.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>My standby answer (as to not be rude) is usually something like: “Ohhhh, I am not sure, the Captain hasn’t mentioned it yet.” In most cases they’re none the wiser, and in the meantime I don’t look like an asshole insinuating that they will rape and/or murder me if I tell them.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Do not discuss your hotel, overnight plans, etc. in front of passengers.</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Note: *Please disregard all previous advice if it is a super-hot guy*</div>
<div></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Stay safe, guys!</div>
<p>….and BUH-BYE!</p>
</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shortly after multiple (and ignored) Facebook friend requests from a complete stranger called Jane, I received the following private messages. I have not altered them in any way other than to ”X” out a few identifiers.</p>
<p>Oh, and I have also added some colorful commentary.</p>
<p>Enjoy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> <em>“Hi!! I’m jane. I use to work with XXXX and asked for her help. She refferred me to you. She said you worked at the airline with her. </em><br />
<em> Do you think you could help me?!! It’s an emergency kinda.</em><br />
<em> If u could, could you call me? Or I could call u too.</em><br />
<em> XXX-XXX-XXXX</em><br />
<em> Thank you!!”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Um, so yeah.  First of all WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU, and why the hell did XXXX give you my info? I am going to kill that bitch!! Oh hell no. This is gonna suck balls, I can tell already.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jane: </strong>(after I hadn’t answered for 1 day)<strong>:</strong> <em>“???”</em></p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> (finally replying out of curiosity as to WTF this “emergency” could be): <em>”Hi. What do you need help with”?</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> (30 seconds later)<strong>:</strong><em> “Oh my!!! Thank u for responding! “</em></p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> <em>&lt;no response&gt;</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> <em>“Can I call u? It’s easier to talk then type a page”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Oh sure, NO PROBLEM!! I totally make it a habit to give out my phone number out to random strangers on the interwebs.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> <em>“Could you please give me an i<strong></strong>dea what this is regarding? I have no idea what the issue is, so I’m not sure I can be of help”.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>BE PREPARED FOR JANE’S ANSWER, YOU’RE GONNA SHIT…</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> <em>“Ok. That’s cool! well, I was talking to XXXX about it. My boyfriend lives in London and we have been doing the long distance thing all summer. (i have to keep my status on FB as single cause im trying to get on this tv show and get paid! Lol)</em><br />
<em> His parents n sister are coming to visit him and he hasn’t seen them in 3 years since he moved. He doesn’t know when the next time they will be able to visit as he is not able to go back to his country, Lithuania, for the next couple years.</em><br />
<em> He wants me to come meet them and fly out next wednesday. I am uber excited. I live in &lt;city&gt; tho.</em><br />
<em> My friends dad works for an airline, and got him a buddy pass to come visit here a couple times, but he keeps charging us over $500 each time. We just can’t afford it. Cards are maxed and cash is low.</em><br />
<em> If you can find it anywhere in your heart to please help us by hooking us up with a flight from &lt;local airport&gt; to London heathrow or London England whatever airport from next Wednesday evening to Sunday morning so I can go to work Monday morning, I would be forever grateful. </em><br />
<em> We think we want to get married in a year and this is the only opportunity I’ll be able to meet his parents and get their blessing.</em><br />
<em> He also wants to come here at the end of October to meet my mom. But if u want to deal with one at a time that’s fine, or we can pay for both now.</em><br />
<em> His flight would be leaving the last Wednesday of October and returning November 1st.”</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane</strong> (5 minutes later)<strong>:</strong> <em>“I told u it was a lot to read”!!</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane</strong> (8 minutes later)<strong>:</strong> <em>“We just have to be together and he can’t move here on a fiancé visa until next summer</em><br />
<em> :*{</em><br />
<em> I hope u understand how crazy love can be and u can find it in your heart to help us. God Bless”</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>IS THIS BITCH ACTUALLY FUCKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?! Bwahahahahaaaa</strong></p>
<p><strong>I am laughing so hard I can barely breathe.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Me</strong> (this bitch is lucky I even replied)<strong>:</strong><em> “I am so sorry, however I am unable to help. I don’t think XXXX is aware of this, but I am currently on a medical leave so unfortunately I do not have flight benefits”.</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane:</strong> <em>“Do u know anyone who can help me? She has a new phone n lost all her numbers”</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane</strong> gave me 10 minutes to reply (to which I didn’t) then replied with this<strong>:</strong> <em>“???”</em></p>
<p><strong>Jane</strong> a day later<strong>:</strong> <em>“Sorry. I’m desperate”</em></p>
<p><strong>Me:</strong> <em>&lt;no reply&gt;</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is so fucking difficult for you to understand? I’m not a dumb-ass. If I hated my job, guess what? <strong>I WOULDN’T FUCKING DO IT!!</strong></p>
<p><em>(shit, that’s a lot of “fucks”)</em></p>
<p>Evidently there are a few of you that are unaware of how to navigate a website properly so I will assist you. I get that you clicked on only one post and didn’t bother to take a look around the site, so here ya’ go. There is a “caveat” clearly posted on this page. It’s over there —&gt; (that’s called the right-hand side for the slower folks). See it? Let me help you out by posting it here.</p>
<p>It reads:</p>
<p><em><strong>“Just a Little “Caveat”…</strong></em></p>
<div id="text-15">
<div><em><strong>The passengers discussed here are an incredibly small minority. In my experience the majority of passengers are very kind, fun and even compliant. The rest of them, these are their stories… </strong></em></div>
<div><em><strong>(enter the Law and Order *dun dun* sound here)”</strong></em></div>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>So there ya’ go.</div>
<p>CALM. THE. FUCK. DOWN.</p>
<div>I would also like to mention that it must really suck balls to walk around life with no sense of humor. I mean, ewww. Gross. And by gross I mean your stagnant and stale non-personality. It’s all quite unfortunate. Your spouses and family must be THRILLED to live in your presence.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><em>*let’s all bow our heads in respect for those poor bastards*</em></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I mean hey, I guess I would be bitter too if I had zero ability to laugh at life and the shit it can throw our way (sometimes in the form of that SMALL MINORITY of asshole passengers) — so I hereby promise in the future to keep that in mind whilst reading your retarded “be glad you have a job” “if you hate it just quit” comments.</p>
<div>
<p>Yeah I said it. RETARDED.</p>
<p>If your eyes just sprouted their first period from reading such a horrific word, stick a maxi pad on your face and you’ll be fine. Personally I prefer the heavy flow kind for a wide-set vag. Just ask your wife for one, I’m sure she has plenty.</p>
</div>
<div>To the majority of you (the intelligent ones) that “GET IT”, I love you and thank you for sharing our site with all of your humorous friends and colleagues. I truly appreciate it, and YOU more than you could ever know.</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So just a heads up for you passengers traveling during severe turbulence, please do us all a favor and don’t be a fucking asshole.</p>
<div>On my last trip during the beverage service we were hit with some fairly severe turbulence due to bad storms. Of course because we were doing the beverage service at the time, we were obviously in the aisle of the cabin with our incredibly heavy metal cart, hot coffee, drinks, etc. So picture this; the aircraft starts dropping, heavily chopping, the works. At this critical point, our main concern is the safety of the passengers and ourselves (okay, maybe I was really only concerned with MY well being).</div>
<div></div>
<div>We immediately grab the cart, wedge it in between the aisle seats, lock it, dump the pot of coffee onto the carpeted floor, lock the cart and basically hold on for dear life. The other FA is practically laying on top of the cart, as am I…that is until the turbulence started hitting much harder, at which point I was literally on the floor trying to not allow the cart to go flying around in the cabin, decapitating everyone in its path. I mean what the hell kind of paperwork would THAT be? Writing up a shitload of passengers without heads would probably be incredibly time consuming. Plus the fact that I would have to find an approved stowage location for said heads for landing. FUCK THAT! Either way, I was pretty damned determined to at least make it home with MY head intact, and on my shoulders. But anyway…</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/decapitationCHOICE.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2681" alt="decapitationCHOICE" src="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/decapitationCHOICE.jpg" width="100" height="100" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>The passengers surrounding us were incredibly compliant (in their seats &amp; belted in), and were very helpful in assisting us with trying to hold the cart down so it wouldn’t kill us all (all but ME, of course). So as I mentioned earlier, picture this: I am hanging on towards the bottom of the cart, the passengers are white-knuckled and freaking the fuck out, a few peeps are probably puking their guts out &amp; crying and praying simultaneously, and the other FA has his entire upper body thrown on top of the beverage cart.</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/turb6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2682" alt="turb6" src="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/turb6-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>So what comes next? During this entire maguilla Miss Asshole Lady Passenger YELLS out to me: “I NEED A NAPKIN”. Thinking my reply would be: Oh, okay miss…sure, let me get that for you right away. Actually in my head it was: WHAT THE FUCK?! OK seriously, did she just ask me that? Is she on a different fucking plane right now? But yes, during all of this, the bitch had the fucking nerve to yell me a command to bring her some napkins. My response: (very loudly) “250 POUNDS”!!! That’s all I said, “250 POUNDS”!! (in reference to the probable weight of the large metal cart we were trying to wrestle to the ground directly in front of her fat and ugly-ass face). I yelled it out twice, for good measure.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Which reminds me of another recent experience along the same lines, however not turbulence-related. I once had a passenger yell to me “AM I GONNA GET A COKE”? while I was running up and down the aisle retrieving medical equipment such as oxygen bottles, an automated defibrillator, medical kits, etc. while I was treating someone having a full-blown heart attack mid-flight. Yeah, I saved his life and you didn’t get your Coke. Booo-fucking-hooo.</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Oxygen-tank2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2683" alt="Oxygen-tank2" src="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Oxygen-tank2-196x300.png" width="196" height="300" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>People really fucking kill me.</div>
<div></div>
<div>So yeah, if you’re pissed because you didn’t get your napkin or Coke because we are busy doing something that looks potentially important, kindly go fuck yourself. I mean seriously, just do it. Preferably in your ass.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Oh, and because you’re probably retarded as well, also go ahead and look up the word narcissistic in that big book called the dictionary. Asshole.</div>
<div>Thank you for flying with us today, and BUH-BYE!</div>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After listening to one of my favorite podcasts <a href="http://adamcarolla.com/carolladigital/for-crying-out-loud/" target="_blank">For Crying Out Loud</a> today, I was inspired to write a little something about air travel with children.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>I’d like to start off with a lovely story involving my BFF, who also happens to be a sassy stew only she’s way hotter. Anyway, a few days ago she had a bit of a situation (not the cheesy NJ shore kind) on the plane involving a couple of douche bags and a young mother flying alone with her infant. Apparently the baby was crying during the decent (which is normal &amp; very common due to the change in cabin pressure), and the male half of the hillbilly douchebag couple sitting directly behind the young mom said to her “you better fucking put something in that kids mouth and shut him the fuck up”. Needless to say, hearing this story from my BFF was beyond shocking, and incredibly appalling. WHO IN THE HELL SPEAKS TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT??! Assholess, that’s who. But I digress…</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>After the berating comments the poor mother was understandably brought to tears. I can’t even imagine. I’m reeeeeeally hoping for a good old-fashioned karmic boomerang hitting those hillbilly douchebags in their respective box and balls. Although now that I think about it, I seriously doubt a “man” that speaks like that to a young woman has much going on in the balls department. I bet he totally has a vagina. A very wide-set one.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>So do me a favor, please be nice to the parents with babies that may cry a little during a flight. It’s not their fucking fault!!</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>OK, well sometimes it COULD be their fault. If that is the case, I really don’t blame you for rolling your eyes and turning up your iPod up to a gazzilion decibels. Whatever you do though, just don’t come over to me and ask me to fix it — because I’m not going to. I have my own children, and they are very well-behaved (probably because they weren’t raised by wolves in a barn?).</div>
<div></div>
<div><a href="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/kids2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2675" alt="kids2" src="http://rantsofasassystew.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/kids2-300x211.jpg" width="300" height="211" /></a></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>As far as when it IS the parent’s fault – they’re basically clueless idiots that shouldn’t procreate in the first place. You wouldn’t believe the things that parents do with their children on flights. From personal experience I have a few recommendations:</div>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Don’t get shitfaced on the flight with your kids. It makes you look like an asshole, and I will probably call CPS on your unfit ass.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li> Don’t expect the flight attendants to keep your children occupied. Again, NOT MY FUCKING JOB. There are a few hundred other people on the plane. Also this may come as a shock to some, but we do NOT have a toy box. It’s not a god-damned dentist’s office.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Don’t let your little brats run up and down the aisle unless you are OK with them being permanently scarred by scalding hot coffee. There is also the possibility that I will step on their head with my sharp 2” heel, and I KNOW that hurts. Just ask my boyfriend.</li>
<li>DO bring food, bottles, diapers, etc. No, we don’t have milk, formula, wipes, diapers, Xanax, whatevs. I’m not dipping into my own stash for your unprepared ass.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>On the subject of diapers, for the love of God and all things holy — <strong>ONLY CHANGE DIAPERS IN THE LAVATORY!! – NOT ON THE SEAT, NOT ON YOUR LAP</strong>, and definitely <strong>NOT ON THE TRAY TABLE!</strong> You do realize that you are in an enclosed cabin with recirculated air, right? The rest of us would prefer NOT to breathe in your child’s recirculated shit smell. Also please keep in mind that many passengers are EATING in said enclosed cabin – and ON the tray table that you just changed your shitty baby on. Seriously, are you a fucking animal with ZERO common sense…or consideration for others? Oh, and if you have the balls to try and hand me a dirty diaper there is no way in hell that I will be able to control my excessive laughter.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Thank you, and BUH-BYE!!</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>Love,</div>
<div>Sassy</div>
<div>xx</div>
<p><strong>Also, I highly recommend that you listen to Lynette Carolla &amp; Stefanie Wilder-Taylor on the <a href="http://adamcarolla.com/carolladigital/for-crying-out-loud/" target="_blank">For Crying Out Loud</a> Podcast. I absolutely LOVE these bitches!!</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>The story I am about to share with you is 100% true. Yes, this actually happened – although you probably won’t believe me.</div>
<p>So a few days ago I only had 2 legs to get home and finish my hellish 4-day long Thanksgiving trip. Those in “the biz” are well aware of how the shit always seems to hit the proverbial fan on what we call “go home day”.</p>
<div></div>
<p>It’s Murphy’s Law, and Murphy was obviously a huge asshole.</p>
<p>Anyway, the aircraft is boarded  (and of course completely full – fuck you holiday travelers!) and we are soooo ready to get the hell out of there…and just as we are about to close the door (thank you baby Jesus!!)  in slowly strolls the typical late douchebag. I will try my hardest to describe this guy. He was probably in his mid-fifties (but looked 70+), and was a hot disheveled mess. He had longish, shaggy &amp; greasy hair, was wearing a flannel shirt, dirty jeans, and a beautiful black leather FANNY PACK straight out of a 1982 Penny’s catalog . The best way I can describe this hot mess, is that you would totally see him on a Law and Order: SVU episode living under a bridge and being interviewed by detectives Benson &amp; Stabler.</p>
<p>Upon close examination I deduce that he is not intoxicated, but only bat-shit crazy…and very unkempt. Not a crime. During the last few minutes of preparing to close the door, etc., his open and overflowing bag starts to lose all of its contents while he is attempting to stow it; an apple, change, random papers, receipts, you get the idea. Shit is just falling out, covering the floor of the aisle, and naturally I’m trying my damnedest not to bust out laughing (or punch the fucker). My inner voice is screaming BE PROFESSIONAL! which can be incredibly difficult most days, but whatevs.</p>
<p>We finally get the hell out of dodge and begin our beverage service. Naturally the guy asks for an alcoholic beverage (SHOCKING!), and I tell him “no”. He asks “Oh, so you don’t have ANY alcohol on the plane”? My answer: “That is correct”.  No big deal, he doesn’t throw a fit – but the passengers on the other side of the aisle about are about to give birth to a cow. “YOU DON’T HAVE ANY ALCOHOL”? they ask. I look at them, give a little wink and quietly mouth the words, “yeah, we do” while nodding my head. They were picking up what I was putting down, and I ever-so-slyly sneak them a few drinks so that whatshisface couldn’t see. All is well.</p>
<p>After completing our various in-flight duties, we start our descent. I am in the back galley and start heading up to the front, when all of a sudden the shit hits the fan. I look up and I see the the dreaded flashing red light and hear the now activated smoke alarm ringing loudly throughout the cabin. It looks and sounds horrific as it is nighttime and  pitch black… so naturally everything is amplified by 100x. I about shit myself right there (as do the passengers), but I hustle my ass up front (my inner voice is now yelling: HOLY FUCKING SHITBALLS! Fire+Plane=FUUUUUCK!), as I am looking foward hauling balls up front I notice the bat-shit crazy guy is stumbling out of the lavatory. I immediately grab the halon fire extinguisher, pull the pin and start ripping apart the lav. I ransack the shit out of it. Of course all the while I am yelling at the guy “WHAT DID YOU DO?” “WHERE DID YOU PUT THE CIGARETTE?”</p>
<div>
<p>Well, after seeing the smoke and smelling the nastiness permeating throughout the front of the plane I soon realized that it wasn’t a cigarette. My ex-cop self kicks in and I start yelling, “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO”?? His reply (wait for it.…): “I caught my hair on fire”. Me: “WHAT. THE. FUCK.” Of course I start all the ex-cop questioning and he explains, “I was in the bathroom trying to find something in my bag (bag=beautiful black 1982 Penny’s catalog leather fanny pack) so I used my lighter to see”. Me: “You used a lighter to see in a LIT bathroom? I don’t think so” “Try again, dude”. I grab the flashlight, shine it on his head – and he was right. He burned most of the hair on the top of his head off. Me again – WHAT. THE. FUCK. You know that distinct burnt hair smell? Yeah, it’s fucking disgusting and is wafting throughout the front of the cabin. The top of his head is basically smoking at this point.</p>
</div>
<p>After a few large men in uniform carrying guns (a.k.a. the po-po), take him off the plane (all the while he is asking if he is going to make his connection while we taxi in – BWAHAHAA!!) it is discovered that he had a crack pipe on his person.</p>
<p>So yeah, the bottom-line; <strong>THIS ASSHOLE WAS SMOKING CRACK ON THE PLANE IN-FLIGHT AND CAUGHT HIS HAIR ON FIRE</strong>.</p>
<div>Thank you for flying with us, have a nice day…and BUH-BYE!</div>
<p>P.S. I soooo deserve a fucking raise. Kthx.</p>
<p>P.P.S. My captain was stuck in security at the same airport prior to this flight for 35 minutes whilst they ransacked HIS bag. Yes, the captain flying the fucking plane. But yeah, the crack pipe held by the obviously bat-shit crazy &amp; disheveled guy got through no prob. Oh the irony.</p>
<p>Thank you TSA!! Great job!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I guess I should start off by walking you through how to actually identify, and then access the lavatory. The bathroom is the door marked “LAVATORY” (it’s not one of those big doors with the huge handles that you entered the aircraft through). Anyway, there is this weird round apparatus located approximately midway up the outside of the LAVATORY door. </p>
<p> This weird apparatus is called a doorknob. Turn it. </p>
<p>*side note: the ashtray will NOT open the door* </p>
<p>So yeah anyway, once you figure out how to find and then enter the lav (just in case you are unaware)…airplanes DO in fact have toilets that flush. THEY ARE NOT OUTHOUSES! </p>
<p>Please do us all a favor and just flush after you take a shit or piss! There is this button located directly above the toilet paper; and it says…(wait for it…) “FLUSH” on it. Crazy, right?? </p>
<p>I would also highly recommend wearing shoes when you go into the lavatory, as this is not a Jerry Springer Charter Flight. That liquid on the floor? Probably not water. It amazes me that people actually walk into the lav without shoes. I’m gonna just assume that they do the same thing at a gas station bathroom as well. Same fucking diff. By the way, to all of you that enter the lavatory barefoot or in socks. Thanks for traipsing your now disease-ridden and urine-soaked stinky-ass dogs throughout the cabin. WE ALL APPRECIATE IT! I&#8217;ve always wanted to know what it was like to have a raging case of Hepatitis. </p>
<p>Also, if you then walk out of the lav after not flushing or washing your hands (yes, we can hear that you haven’t done either), thrashing the door open harshly without closing it…(don’t worry I”ll get it for you, I know you probably can’t be bothered to CLOSE A DOOR) inside I am really wishing that I could punch you in your fat, ugly, dumb-ass face. </p>
<p>Have a nice day….and BUH-BYE! </p>

<p>&#8220;A passenger on board an Icelandair flight had to be tied down by the crew and fellow passengers after going on a rampage Thursday, January 3.According to Icelandic media outlet MBL.is, the passenger began acting out two hours before the flight was set to land. He reportedly had been drinking heavily, and allegedly began ranting, spitting and threatening the crew before he was restrained.</p>
<p>Andy Ellwood, a contributor with Forbes, was aboard the flight and snapped a photo which quickly went viral.</p>
<p>Icelandic newspaper Morgunblaðið reported that Guðjón Arngrímsson, Vice President of Corporate Communication at IcelandAir, confirmed the man was acting dangerously, but would not comment on the photo.</p>
<p>On his <a href="http://andyellwood.tumblr.com/" rel="nofollow">Tumblr account</a>, Andy said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Passenger drank all of his duty free liquor on the flight from Iceland to JFK yesterday. When he became unruly, (i.e. trying to choke the woman next to him and screaming the plane was going to crash), fellow passengers subdued him and tied him up for the rest of the flight. He was escorted off the flight by police when it landed.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Flight attendants are usually equipped with flex-cuffs, a plastic adjustable version of handcuffs, to help subdue unruly passengers. It&#8217;s unclear in the photo if such cuffs were used on the passenger to keep his hands behind his back but duct tape is clearly shown to help restrain the passenger to his chair and quiet him from screaming.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay fellow sassy stews and pilots, YOU will be the stars of this post! Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s gonna go down (no, not <em>that</em> kind)&#8230;</p>
<p>Below we will all share OUR favorite food packing tips, recipes, etc. This is always an incredibly popular topic amongst flight crews, as we tend to bore quickly with our same ole&#8217; same ole&#8217;. I must admit that I have been in ruts where I even ask passengers eating something yummy-looking what it is that they have brought with them. I also loooooove peeking into other stews lunch bags for yummy ideas!</p>
