Ramada is now charging crews when they take pens?

You could always try asking the FAM sitting in 2C.
3. We don't have a boyfriend in every city. And our median age these days is 44.
I swear I've flown with the FA in that picture. And what's the big deal about being 44? Cougars rock.
6. The lavatory door is not rocket science. Just push.
I wish FAs would quit
about that. The same thing would happen if I put an accordion door with an ashtray in it in the guest bathroom at home.
7. If you have a baby, bring diapers. That way, I’m not trying to make a diaper out of a sanitary pad and a pillowcase
15 years as a FA and I've never heard of that trick. Seriously?
8. Just in case you hadn’t noticed, there are other people on the airplane besides you. So don’t clip your toenails, snore with wild abandon,
Tell that to the guys I would fly with that would chew tobacco while sitting on the jumpseat.
11. I hate working flights to destinations like Vail and West Palm Beach.
Then don't bid those trips, and enjoy your long overnights in SYR.
13. Is it that difficult to say hello and goodbye? We say it 300 times on every flight, and only about 40 people respond.
Meh, so what? But then I'm from the rust belt.
14. Do not poke or grab me. You would never grab a waitress if you wanted ketchup or a fork, would you?
And here I thought some FAs hated being compared to waitresses.
16. I don’t care if you want to be in the mile-high club, keep your clothes on.
Never seen anyone try joining the club, and never heard about it such as "You'll never guess what happened on my last trip!"
18. The only place you are allowed to pee on the airplane is in the lavatory. Period.
Is random urine something I should be looking out for, or are you saying that to R Kelly?
19. Don’t ask us if it’s okay to use the lavatories on the ground.
Starting with the TSA's consistent inconsistency at the checkpoint, long winded PA announcements from some FAs about everything that's not allowed, stupid rules like nothing in the seat pocket but the inflight magazine, why
wouldn't some infrequent flyers ask?
20. You really expect me to take your soggy Kleenex?
Yes, and if the pilots don't get a better altitude out of this chop, you'll be coming back for my seatmate's barf bag.
21. Sure, I don’t mind waiting while you scour the seatback pocket and the floor for candy wrappers and other garbage, then place them in my bag one by one.
Glad you feel that way, because you do realize at smaller stations you no longer have cleaners, so it's up to FAs to tidy up the cabin between flights, right?
