Number 5 – Impatient Passenger
It must be quite common for flight attendants to experience the odd person who has issues
about their flight but this following person took it to a whole new level. In 2014, a passenger
on a China Eastern Airlines plane was in such a rush to get out of the plane when it landed
at Sanya Phoenix International Airport that the passenger deployed the emergency slide,
therefore causing a delay for 2 hours. This resulted in $16,000 in damages.
Number 4 – Dirty Nappies
In every plane journey there’s always going to be that one baby who will cry throughout
the whole journey but maybe there’s a reason for that? I mean if you were a baby on a 10
hour flight and you needed the toilet then relieving yourself in-flight is pretty common.
However, if you are the parent, at least take the stinking nappies with you instead of leaving
them on the plane.
Number 3 – In-Flight Laundry
Just picture this scenario, you are preparing to go on holiday. What is the first thing
you do? That’s right, you start packing your clothes in your suitcase. However, flight
attendants have reported to see passengers drying their clothes on board a plane, in-flight.
Weird right? Either they are just plain crazy or they actually need to dry their clothes
from certain stains... if you get what I mean. I’m talking about if they spilled a drink
on their shirt. What are you thinking of?
Number 2 – Breastfeeding Their Cat
This is very very very very very weird, period. According to the book, Confessions of a Fed-Up
Flight Attendant, flight attendants have had the uncomfortable situation of having to tell
a woman that she cannot breastfeed her cat. You know those cute furry felines. Sure I
know cats love milk but come on… some people actually breastfeed their cats! According
to the book, the responses from the cat feeders are always the same: “I’m just feeding
my baby.”
Number 1 – A Smelly Journey
In March 2015, a British Airways flight from London to Dubai was forced to turn around
because of and I quote: "smelly poo." A passenger on board this plane with the name of Abhishek
Sachdev said that "The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew
something was a bit odd.” The announcement that the pilot gave was: “You may have noticed
there's a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets. It is liquid faecal excrement.”
The plane was then forced to land and passengers were put up in a hotel overnight since the
next available flight was 15 hours later.
