Flight attendants reveal the RUDEST things passengers have done

Dozens of flight attendants have revealed the rudest things they have ever experienced at the hands of plane passengers.

US-based travel experts Rich Henderson and Andrew Kothlow often pose questions to cabin crew members on their blog, titled Two Guys on a Plane, where they also regularly give recommendations.

Most recently, the duo offered workers the chance to share their industry anecdotes by asking flight attendants: ‘What’s the rudest thing a passenger has ever said/done to you!?’ 

And they were quickly inundated with disturbing stories from in-flight staff who detailed incidents ranging from passengers throwing sandwiches at them to pulling on their ponytail to get attention.

Most recently, the duo offered workers the chance to share their industry anecdotes by asking flight attendants: ‘What’s the rudest thing a passenger has ever said/done to you!?’ 

And they were quickly inundated with disturbing stories from in-flight staff who detailed incidents 

On their blog, Rich and Andrew wrote: ‘Passengers have been caught doing some pretty rowdy things: punching flight attendants in the face, opening emergency exits, and even storming the cockpit.

‘But you’re probably thinking, “ok, but how often does that sort of stuff REALLY happen?” 

‘The answer is, they happen a LOT.’

The travel pros then shared a series of screenshots that detailed ‘some of the rudest things that passengers have said and done’ as told by members of cabin crew themselves.

One revealed that she ‘had a grown man pull my ponytail to get my attention for snacks.’

Another explained one passenger ‘threw a sandwich’ at their face before telling her to ‘f*** off.’

Similarly, despite one staff member offering to check a customer’s bag for free, the disgruntled passenger proceeded to throw his luggage at the worker after growing frustrated that there was ‘no overhead bin space.’ 

Among the insults hurled included customers branding attendants as ‘overpaid vending machines,’ ‘f***ing incompetent,’ and ‘traveling tramps.’

It seems that many passengers had a tough time battling their bladders which led to some very grim incidents 

Another passenger relieved himself ‘in the middle of the aisle’ when the toilets were locked during refueling

In other shocking anecdotes, it was revealed that one angry customer even ‘spat on’ an airline employee and eventually got arrested. 

Bizarrely, another revealed someone ‘hissed’ at them while ‘pinching their love handle at the same time.’

And the shocking stories did not stop there.

One passenger is said to have ‘peed in the back galley because the lavatories were occupied’ as another urinated ‘in the middle of the aisle’ when the toilets were locked during refueling.

Others brazenly handed flight attendants their used gum and a ‘water bottle full of urine’ as another tipped popcorn over the floor in protest over not being served any more alcohol.

One member of cabin crew was told that the airline was ‘scraping the bottom of the barrel’ by hiring them with a separate employee, from Vietnam, being urged to ‘improve’ their accent.

Another employee heard ‘you’re a beautiful woman, but you won’t be in ten more years’ as one worker, from Vietnam, was urged to ‘improve’ their accent

One worker was told to ‘get a real job,’ while another was cursed at because the crew had to ‘deplane for a mechanical day’

A traveler ‘told their kid if she didn’t behave she’s end up like [a flight attendant],’ and another passenger got very aggressive in saying, ‘I hope your next plane crashes’

Another employee revealed that they were told, ‘you’re a beautiful woman, but you won’t be in ten more years,’ adding that the comment was ‘completely unprovoked.’

One worker was told to ‘get a real job,’ while another was cursed at because the crew had to ‘deplane for a mechanical day.’

In one particularly shocking encounter, one passenger got very aggressive and said, ‘I hope your next plane crashes.’

But it isn’t all doom and gloom for cabin crew.

Elsewhere, other flight attendants have light-heartedly shared the worst pick-up lines they’ve gotten which on board such as, ‘wanna join the mile high club?’
