That Request Will Never Fly
Airline | USA
(We hit a bit of turbulence. The ‘Fasten Seatbelt’ light goes on, and the captain comes on the intercom to tell us all to stay seated and buckled in. Shortly after this, a woman hits her call light. I come on over.)
Me: *bracing myself on the seat across the row* “Yes, ma’am?”
Passenger: “Could I have a glass of water, please?”
Me: “Ma’am, the captain has asked us to all stay seated for our safety.”
Passenger: “But I wouldn’t be getting up!”
Me: “Ma’am, the captain has asked us ALL to stay seated for our safety.”
Passenger: “Oh! You too?”
