Don't throw your coat at me

[AirHostess]

In business class we hang coats for passengers.

This has lead to a large number of passengers throwing their coat at me as they get on the plane. I mean literally, throwing it along with comments like "be careful it's Gucci!' or "it's real organic polar bear fur, are your hands clean, I don't want the fur damaged."

More recently an irate man threw his coat at me saying 'do something with this will you." Unfortunately I didn't catch it and it fell on the floor. I just looked at it and the passenger himself picked it up and shoved in into the overhead locker when it became clear that I wasn't going to scrabble around on the floor.

Our wardrobes are very small and then the passengers complain because their coats get a bit wrinkled despite demanding that their coats be hung.

My condolences, for having to deal with this kind of passengers on a daily basis.

I fly business class regularly, and up to now, in every single flight I have been in, there were at least a few passengers who seemed to think of the air hostesses as some kind of robotic machinery, their personal maidservants, or anything in between.

Kudos to you for being able to endure these sh!theads. I know I wouldn't be able to.

"I'm sorry ma'am, but your polar bear fur coat fell into the lavatory. My apologies, I have no idea how that happened. Do try to enjoy smelling like shit for the rest of the day. On the bright side, your outer self matches your inner self a little more, so that's something to be happy about. Have a nice day, shitbag."

LOL I would love to say that. Maybe on my last day.

Ah, the fabled Last Day. Unfortunately, I didn't see my own coming. I had such wonderful plans.

I suppose setting it on fire and toasting marshmallows over it wasn't what he had in mind?

"Okay"
*kick it out of the plane*

Trust me, if and when it does, you will enjoy it. I know that I had alot of fun towards the end of my retail hell career.

Eh, I've had several last days, all of which I've seen coming, some at jobs I liked, where they could take a joke, some at jobs I hated, where they'd have thrown the most massive bitchfest imaginable. And Not Once did I do anything beyond acting like I always did, except for saying goodbye to the people I liked. The places I liked, I didn't wanna do anything to them, and the places I hated weren't worth the effort and letting them know they had gotten to me that badly.

As for coat guy, "Sure, I'll do something with your coat. Bend over."

It would also have the added bonus of being permenently bright blue (or do they not put that stuff in anymore?).

You hang up people's coats?! No one has ever offered to hang up my coat...

[Peppergirl]

Assholes like that were probably the travelers who were screaming at me this weekend because snow in Atlanta shut down 50 percent of Delta's flights.

It was my fault, you see.

I can relate to asshole air travelers, Katie. You poor thing.

It's my airline's 'nice to do if you can' in business class. Don't know if all airlines do this. Said coats are also often snatched from your hands at the end of the flight with no thanks. Or they expect you to stand there and help then into it. I just generally place the coat on the seat next to them and say "you're welcome,' with a big smile to these snottty passengers.
