"gift"
"future"
"past"
"not present"
"here"
"there"
"not here"
We would answer anything but "present" to the great annoyance of the staff member. I wonder if that would be interfering with crew?

I'm stunned people think this is such a big deal. It takes all of two minutes.
I've had FAs ask us to count off probably once every 2-3 years since I started flying. It's always on a regional jet and it's always a paperwork discrepancy between the GA/FA paperwork. I've certainly had it happen on CO/NW/AA in the past, though I couldn't tell you the operating carrier.

Should we go to the galley and get our own food and offload our bags as well (Being PHL-based, I wouldn't be opposed to this)? I certainly don't ask my clients to do my job for me. You're on record as saying you've done it on RJs. That's even more sad if an FA needs help counting on an RJ.

How many times before they got the count? I find it odd that not only could they not get it right by their own count, they then had multiples tries at having the paxs count off

Still don't understand why you wouldn't just say the correct number. This is NOT the hill to die on by anyone's code.

I just don't see how this is even possible. Is everyone on the plane required to speak english and understand what the FA is asking of them?
I'd sure hate to be asked to count in some foreign language while traveling.

If it had been a play by Bill Shakespeare, it would be called "The Comedy of Errors"

So, is it ok if I asked them to stow my carry-on?
