JFK-BOS:
On takeoff, the woman begins narrating everything she sees out the window to her boyfriend, except it's all completely wrong. Every bridge is the George Washington Bridge. Every building is Foxwoods. And towards landing, every coastline is Revere Beach.

In the days of the merger with Northwest, I was on a DC9 flight out of MSP. All 3 variants of the DC9 were still in service (-30, -40, and -50). Back then, NWA used the same safety card for all of the DC9 fleet, because the exits and equipage were the same. The front of the safety card said "DC9-30/40/50"

Anyways, I'm sitting in the last row of FC, and the guy in the bulkhead behind me turns to his wife and says (in a very thick, Jerry-Lundegaard-from-Fargo accent) "Ooooh! Looks like we're on a DC9 THIRTY FORTY FIFTY today."

Quite the observant one, bless his heart.

About ten years ago, an elderly lady, the kind who was still used to dressing up for flights, sat across the aisle from me on a JFK-LAX mid afternoon flight in economy. She seemed clearly ill at ease, and when the person in front of her reclined their seat fully into her, she was very visibly startled, and exclaimed something like, "ooh my! First class isn't like this at all!"

I thought it was a hoot.

Mrs. Lee, while settling into 2D on an M88 over the weekend: "What are the planes where you turn left when you board? I like those better."

She doesn't know it, but she is definitely one of us.

A few ago, I was seated next to a very elderly lady in F on a 753. The pilot walks down the aisle and the elderly lady turns to me and says, "Oh my, we have a woman pilot. I hope we make it there all right." Probably the most cringeworthy thing I have ever heard.

Was on an evening flight from BOS-MCO back in September. I was sitting in the Gate area and I see a FA laughing hard at something on her phone and she was even showing other pax. She seemed like she was a little tipsey. I get on the plane and of course she is the F cabin FA and when taking meal orders she cannot finish reading the second choice of “meatballs” without dying of laughter. It took her three times to say what the choice was before I could finally understand her without her laughing. She also didn’t do a very good job of securing the galley as during takeoff, the container holding all of the glass cups comes flying out of the galley and ends up almost hitting the guy seated in 1B and all of the glasses shattered and she eventually gets up and says oops and starts to laugh. After the flight, I was talking to the guy that was sitting across the aisle from me and we both agreed that she had probably had a little bit too much to drink before the flight.

I was looking up at the gate monitor, and noted that I was #3 on the upgrade list. The first two names on the list were “GOD, A” and “GOD, B”. A person standing next to me said; “You better hope there are more than two seats available”.

I have a picture somewhere of the GID showing I was upgraded over GOD.

Guy on phone in MSP men's room, seemingly talking to his young daughter:

Man this place is busy today... No no, not the bathroom. The bathroom isn't busy - the airport is. A lot of people flying to all different places... No no, they're WALKING around the airport to get on the PLANES that will fly them.

I had a similar conversation recently with #3 for 1 seat available. I was #2. In the number one position was....WIN, I

Needless to say, she won.

One flight several years ago, the FA was taking meal orders.

FA: Will you have the chicken? Or the ganache?
Me (to myself): We couldn't possibly be having ganache for dinner.???
Me (to the FA): I'll have the chicken I guess.
Seatmate: Ummm. I'll have the other thing.

He got a nice plate of gnocchi.

A few years ago I was flying LIM-ATL and the FA asked me if I wanted "creipis" for breakfast. Took me a while to figure out that she was actually offering me crępes.
