Served Last

Do the flight attendants always seem to serve you last? In other words if you're sitting at the window do they always serve the person seated on the aisle first, and if you're seated on the aisle do they always serve the person at the window first?
On my last flight I had an aisle seat, I watched the FA serve 8 rows of seats.... left side of the plane first, then right side, left side, right side, left side, right side but suddenly when she got to my row she decided to serve 2 left rows consecutively, AND when she did get to my row she went right to the person at the window first! LOL
I think it's a subconcious thing FA's do. I love to fly ^

FA: What would you like to drink?

Me: Diet Coke with ice please:

Me: Thank you

FA:

While passing a glass of water to the person at the window, it's pretty hard to knock over the aisle passenger's Diet Coke if he/she hasn't gotten it yet. If having to wait while they do two left rows at once is too much, bring a bottle of water with you. You should be drinking a glass an hour anyways.

Happens to me all the time

Not only am I served last no matter where I sit, but at times when the rest of the passengers receive entire cans of their favorite carbonated beverages, the flight attendant always denies my request that the same courtsey be granted to me. I always treat airline staff with the utmost courtesy and respect whenever I travel. I think that in my case it is because I have a face only a mother and my wife could love.

Sometimes I get served last, sometimes first, sometimes somewhere in between. It happens whether I'm in F, J , or Y. At the end it balances out from my experience.

I always get served last. My supermarket and toll booth lines are always the slowest, as is my travel lane on a congested highway. I never win anything in raffles or lotteries. The mobile phone company I pick will be the one with the worst reception in my new home. And I always get the cupcake with the least icing.

Is someone's paranoia working overtime today?

American carriers...horrible service and poor professionalism by cabin crew.

Foreign carriers...50/50.
