Flight Attendants

I've never had such rude flight attendants in my life. It's an 1100am flight- not early by any means. This actually wasn't even my first flight of the day either. I have been up since 6am.


So.. Like I said- not early. I can't possibly be the only person on this flight that ordered a drink. I'm still on a mini vacation or heavens sake, a single bloody mary is not going to cause a ruckus. Nor will it get me belligerently drunk. Doubt it would even give me a buzz. So I remember my please and thank you's and ask politely for one. No problem, she didn't ask for ID, which I found slighty offensive, but whatever that's her issue if she wants to get busted for selling alcohol to a minor. (I am far beyond legal age by the way). So this gals little flight attendant buddy gives me the hairy eyeball. I just smile and remember my thank you.

After they serve the rest of the cabin they come back to pick up garbage. I am only half done with my drink. I haven't downed it, I'm savoring the flavor and clearing my sinuses because of the spices in the mix. (and yeah- vodka is numbing the aches and pains of this wreched flu). So I hand over the empty miniature vodka bottle, my empty pretzle bag, and my empty can of Mr & Mrs T's Bloody Mary Mix- I smile.. To which I am greeted by a woman practically snatching the damn things out of my hand, followed by yet another hairy eyeball. Oh snap.


Now here lies the biggest deliema- do I say anything and risk her flipping out on me and me getting dragged off the airplane in Seattle for "assulting" a flight attendant, or do I just sit back and take it? I run through how the phone call to my mother would be-


"Hi mom- uh.. Can you come bail me out of jail?"


"what?! Now what did you do!?" (as if I am some horrible child who is always in trouble)


"they say I assulted a flight attendant"


"damnit Jessica, you need to learn to keep your mouth shut"


"mom, you don't understand! She gave me the hairy eyeball because I ordered a drink at 1145 in the morning!"


"what did you do that for?"


"multiple reasons.. I have a sinus infection, and beginning of the flu, I've been up for a while, I'm from Alaska and as long as the sun is up I can drink, and because I was thirsty."


*click*


So I sat here finishing off my delicious breakfast.. And they come back around to collect more garbage. She asks the people next to me if they would like anything else to drink, when it's my turn (I have yet to finish my bloody mary) I smile and say no thank you- she then double checks to see if I'd like some water! WTF.

I am NOT drunk off of less than 1oz. Of vodka lady!! Lay the fuck off it.

I've seen better cusomer service skills from a rock.

All I can think of is she;

1) Hates her job

2) Hasnt had sex in a while

3) Wishes she was hot like me (jk)


I just don't understand.


On the upside, my now empty drink has accomplished exactly what I wanted it to do- I've stopped coughing up a lung, my ears finally popped, and I can breathe out of both nostrils.
