That's not slander, not even close.

OMG! I haven't laughed so hard in ages...too funny!

We were on the apron, LH, just about to take off from CDG -> MUC and some businessman's phone went off... he just ignored it and let it ring and ring until eventually the pilot yelled "I've just been informed that someone's phone is ringing, turn it off now!".

One of the FAs got up and started pulling bags out of an overhead locker where the sound was coming from and throwing them on the floor, glad that wasn't my stuff! Eventually, the culpruit got up and turned off his phone, very embarassed.

I find people using phones on planes to be very annoying, especially those that turn them on prior to or when landing. Is it really such a hardship to wait like 10 minutes more? Sure the jury's out on whether they cause any damage, but I think it's quite selfish to do so in defiance of instructions.

Missy, my husband - who knows you - is howling with laughter visualizing this - and making insulting remarks about my inability to ever have this happen to me. ;)

did you tell him to be nice to you or he might end up finding his own cell phone tucked up where the sun don't shine? ;)

Very few people have my mobile# but occasionally I'll give it to a customer.....anyway....flight just landed, my beloved wife knows my flight schedule so I answered with my standard beloved greeting "Hey Babe".
Unfortunately it was a customer, a female customer....fortunately she took it with good humor (I think)

Ha ha! I suppose you'll be getting call display now? :)

So MissyD, now we know that Indy's search for the Holy Grail was successful. From now on, when I hear the theme song, I'll think of you and smile.

A few months ago I was in a bathroom stall in Columbus Ohio getting changed out of my suit into a pair of khakis. I have my cell phone on full blast. As I am in the stall, I put my suitcase on top of the shelf in back of the toilet (not realizing that the sensor to auto flush was right there. As I was getting changed, my cell rings and it was my biggest customer on the other end. He is praising our products, etc and just as he is about to hang up, the damn toilet flushes. not once, not twice, but three-four times!!!. I explain to him what I was doing and I have yet to here the end of it since.

I can just see how red you were turning when the flushes just wouldn't stop. What's up with the customer? Did she not understand where you were and that she called you? It wasn't like you make all of your high priority phone calls from sitting over a hole.

Missy, get your phone out of there!! This could vindicate TSA reps on their desire to grope us to see if anyone of us has a weapon which plays the theme to Rocky.

My customers all feel free to give me a hard time. The story has been told at conventions to other customers of mine. Our business is really an ol' boys network and is fairly close knit. Every one bust each others chops now and then.

I guess this gives new meaning to TravelBuzz :p

Well, on the SFO-AMS KLM flight I took last week, there was a condom stuck to the inside of the toilet basin in WBC. Don't know if it was a bored prankster or used... mile high club ?...nevermind the next question

Do you always carry it there? I have a belt clip for mine... :D
