86 Facepalm Questions Cabin Crew Have Actually Been Asked By Real Passengers

Pax: hey beautiful can i ask u something?
Me: yes go ahead sir
Pax: can i use the rubber slides when we arrive? I really wanna try that!
Me: NO! Those are only for emergencies.

A passenger asked me if we will get pulled over if the pilots go too fast... i giggled bc i thought she was making a joke and she got really angry that i was laughing.

Another passengers rang the call light to ask why we weren't moving. I was confused so she opens the window and it's pitch black outside. She goes "we're clearly not moving". I'm like "We're like 3 hours into this flight going 500 mph... You need to take a physics class"

Other little things are passengers asking for almond milk for the coffees, hot sauce, blackberry juice(?), etc..

I have important papers in my bag.. in the cargo.. can you get my bag?

I was asked by a pax if they could use the dryer. The dryer? “ you live on these planes don’t you?”

Last night someone asked how she's supposed to get into the bathroom if she broke the handle off.... the "handle" she put in my hand was the ash tray.

One time on a night flight we had a medical so we turned the lights on to take care of it. A guy who had been sleeping woke up and as I passed by he asked “why are we stopped?”

Not cabin crew but I overheard a passenger tell thr flight crew he didn't like the menu he read online and he tweeted them a few days ago for something better. It was a RYANAIR flight demanded money back for all 3 hot meals they brought him and he didn't like. Then he cornered a cabin crew at the back of the flight "I'm sure you were just trying your best. Good girl" when disembarking. I gave another crew member the headsup and she dashed down to him.

I have been asked so many dumb things over the years but one that stands out is the old couple that asked me to tell the captain to turn down the engines because they were trying to have a conversation and they were too loud “yeah, I’ll get right on that”.

7am, first flight of the day: “Sir would you like something to drink?” “Uhh yeah..ummm…could I get a hamburger?!”…

I’ve had a lot of weird requests in 16 years but that one stands out as the most memorable.

Early this year I was flying Cathay Pacific Business Class Hong Kong to Perth and one of the Cabin Crew had stepped out of the aisle to not impede Economy passengers boarding to ask me if I wanted the lobster or steak for dinner.
One guy who overheard this remarked quite loudly 'hope you choke dude'
The CC asked to see his Boarding Pass, and politely suggested he keep moving towards the rear.
I hope his Economy meal was..... OK.

“When will the lightning stop?”
Me: “I don’t know I’m not God.”

Me: well usually not. i usually just go down for lunch by opening that door. but today i am not in the mood so will just eat whatever is left in the oven.

I’m in the gate area in Atlanta, waiting for my plane to pull up.
A man from India loudly asks me, “Why are there so many Black workers here?”

Girl: excuse me, he took my seat
Me: (looking at the man) are you guys together?
Girl: yes
Me: do you want him to seat there or…
Girl: yeah I don’t mind
Me: oh, good then. He can stay in your seat and you stay in his seat

i was working in business class when a passenger asked me if the food was free.

in his defense, it was his first time flying business class on a low-cost airline, so i kinda understand it.

A woman rang her call light because her open window was too hot and wanted me to “turn it off” I said “you want to turn off the sun?!?”

After 5 vodkas with a single can of Bloody Mary, old lady asked if we had any E*****y. 😳 She also asked to be poked with the overhead bin closing stick during boarding.

While I flew as a Capt on my former airline, when a pax asked our cabin crew wich lake was the one we were overflying or across wich city we were, I answered the “Lake….” And the first name of my senior CC
People believe everything we tell them.

Stuck on the tarmac for a while…
pax “can you just open the door? I’m gonna miss my connection “
Me- “No. There isn’t a jet bridge..”
Pax- but I thought there was a slide..?
