Doesn’t happen very often but when it does my general policy is to go and talk very loudly about it in front of the toilet so passengers can hear for maximum embarrassment when they do their walk of shameI've often wondered this, how do you not bat an eyelidI can't stand people even in a beach having a kiss ha let alone on a plane !! Does it happen a lot? Having sex on a plane loo is definitely not on my hit list ha X
Same goes for when people do it in their seats - excuse you but it’s not that dark in here and myself and everyone else around you know exactly what you’re doing - you’re not being subtle
That's so disrespectful! Pre covid (Oh yes lack of respect and general bad attitude/abuse from passengers was one of my main reasons for quitting.

) we went long haul to my husband's home country. The cc are always amazing and can't do enough for us. My minis are well trained in the please and thank yous for anyone who looks after us!!
As I've said before I used to clean the aircraft and some of the things that we found were disgusting. Why do some women think it's a good idea to decorate the loos with used stick on sanitary towels. Honestly, the women are worse than men. I think cabin crew do a terrific job but I used to get so frustrated when trying to hoover a plane on a quick turn and they would just stay in the seats. I remember doing Brittannia airlines and BJ, the chief steward saw our frustrations at trying to hoover that he asked the crew to go onto the jetty so we could finish grooming the plane in time. I miss that job.

I remember when I used to work in Primark part time when I was in my early 20s and a "middle class" sounding female customer who was standing near me commented to her friend about how she'd rather be a prostitute than have to work in Primark. If it happened now I would turned around and given her what for, always regretted that I didn't. Don't know how you resisted the urge to pour a drink over her tbh.Oh yes lack of respect and general bad attitude/abuse from passengers was one of my main reasons for quitting.

a colleague of mine once told me he had some lady say this to him whilst he was serving in Economy and he politely told the kid sat next to her “and if you don’t work hard in school, you’ll end up in Economy like your mother”… I was in stitches I don’t know why people think they can speak down to those who serve them
best job in the world, gutted I had to hang up my wings!! X
Thats an amazing comebackHey @Dipdab
Brilliant idea for a thread! I’m not CC but I’ve always found it so interesting, love to hear the gossip I follow an account on Instagram (“Corporate FA memes” I think) which shares corporate FA’s stories about passengers and celebrities, although I’ve just checked and they’ve taken the posts down, probably started getting sued 
it was a very enlightening account!
Also I’m a bit of a nervous flyer and the CC are always just so kind and them just looking calm calms me right down

BJ! I loved him on the first series of Airline. Always wondered what happened to him.
Some people here may have seen these and the forum. I'm posting for those who haven't.

"By far the biggest prima donna Ever encountered has to be Elle Macpherson."The Body" insists on being spoken to in French and in a recent little hissy fit was upset because the free first class pyjamas provided weren`t available in the colour she wanted."
So funny.
Saw her at a restaurant in Sydney in the late '90s and she was just awful (to the wait staff and had a permanent scowl on her face the entire time. Made a big thing about getting the the blinds shut so people couldn't look in [there wasn't anyone trying to!]. Actually surprised she didn't book the whole restaurant to herself).
There don't seem to be any more recent threads like these - wonder why?
