As a comic on the road I had to fly every week to work the clubs. \u00a0One time we were still at the gate and I had my carry-on bag on the floor, getting ready to put it away. “That needs to go under the seat,” said the flight attendant. \u00a0I said okay as I was getting organized with my book, snack, etc., “I\u00a0mean now!” he screamed at me. \u00a0Everyone looked up. \u00a0He scared me actually, and I shoved it under the seat right away, thinking with that attitude, how does he keep his “people” job. \u00a0I wondered what he’d say when he came by with the drink cart but to my surprise, he apologized! \u00a0He said he was having a rough day and was out of line. \u00a0I didn’t expect that but I also wondered if he meant it or he just didn’t want to be reported (which I would never do). I chose to believe he meant it because he seemed sincere, and everyone is entitled to a bad day. \u00a0Having worked in sales and as a waitress, I know it can be challenging to deal with people all day, especially people in the stressful situation of flying today.\u00a0\u00a0I can understand a flight attendant having a meltdown. \u00a0I’m surprised that he may go to jail and even more surprised that he has an ex-wife!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
