    Passeneger demands my magazine

    I was quietly sat in the galley reading through a nice pile of my own, personal magazines (ones that I had found after a previous flight but were now 'mine.'

    This passenger had been an entitled bitch anyway but meh, aren't most of them. If she had been nice I would have lent her a magazine but I knew this one would want them all and I would never get them back. This was in business class btw.

    SP: Yah I'll just have thaaaaaaat one. Oooo and new Vogue, I simply must read that.
    Me: I'm sorry, these are actually my personal magazines.
    SP: Well I want one, I'm bored!
    Me: We don't offer magazines on flights of this length (90 minutes )

    She stood there pouting at me.

    SP: Well I'm your CUSTOMER, it's your job to give me what I want!
    Me: No I think you'll find it's my job to take care of your safety, security and comfort, not give you my own personal items.
    SP: Fine. I'll just have champagne then. (No please or thanks)

    I took the champagne over to her seat and said a cheerful 'well you're very welcome,' in response to her deafening silence and that fact that she was ignoring me.

    When she disembarked I said 'Thanks sooooooooo much, have a great day!' as she looked so bloody miserable.

    She ignored me.

    Counting days the days left now Wooooooo no more entitled bitches to 'serve' and be treated like the hired help.
    No longer a flight atttendant!

    You're posting an awful lot at the minute. Are you getting everything out of your system before you leave?

    Seriously, I am so jealous of you!

        Or maybe you're just worried that after this job, you'll have nothing to post about.

                My perspective is different in that I don't travel far enough from home to fly, but I take my own entertainment with me when I have to travel or wait somewhere like the doctor's office. I usually carry at least a book or puzzle book so I have something to do. I've worked and studied so much lately that I'm not going to dare complain about being bored in any downtime I have.

                  you know all she would have needed to say was "excuse me, I see you have some magazines there, would you mind if I borrowed one?"

                  puts an entirely new spin on getting her hands on a magazine.

                    Pretty childish. Seriously, she could've bought a magazine or two of her own or at least some entertainment. Back in '04 when me and my family and baby sis' bf and his family went to PR for vacation, all of us youngn's had our gameboys, portable cd players and waited until we got the "green light" to start 'em up. I'm happy for you no longer having to deal with these EWs.

                      When I went to Key West I brought a book with me. I started it on the flight down, read by the pool for a bit each day (while the others were sunbathing, which I try to avoid, because A. it's boring, and B. I don't think I'd look good as a lobster), and finished it on the flight back. And if I had finished it sooner, I would have taken a longer nap.

                        That's a point I constantly make about the bitches I have to deal with. The requests aren't unreasonable but the delivery of them is done in such an expecting, entitled manner that I want to strangle them. It's not necessarily what they want, it's how they ask for it.


                        I had Katie's exact situation happen to me once but for the life of me I can't remember the details. All I know is I was sitting there with my own thing and someone gave me attitude thinking I was a lowly employee that they could bully. He wasn't too pleased with my response of "Well I don't work here so I could give a flying fuck!"

                          Wait, you're leaving the job?

                          Didn't you leave the profession once before, only to return to it? Just wondering.....

                          Of course that's all she would have needed to say, but then she would not have been an SC, now would she?

                            Vogue?

                            How does one "read" a magazine that, by all appearances, is totally lacking in textual content? The last issue I looked at was 99.9999999999% ads.

                              Perhaps she only looks at the pictures.
