There's something magical about air travel. From the moment you pass through airport security to take off and the view out the window, every flight is an experience that combines the excitement of travel with a sense of adventure.
However, not all passengers are the same. Some will sit quietly in their seats, waiting to land at their destination, while others may test the patience of the flight attendants.
But what are the things we do – perhaps unintentionally – that can irritate a flight attendant?
Touching her without her consent
Just as no one would want to be touched by you on the ground, a flight attendant wouldn't want a passenger to touch, push, or otherwise gesture at them. A simple "excuse me" would work much better. Also, there's no need to wave trash in a flight attendant's face until she picks it up. That's very annoying.
Asking for water immediately after boarding the plane
Boarding a plane can be chaotic for both you and the crew. However, the crew members have some important safety duties to perform, so it's best not to ask for a glass of water during this period unless you absolutely have to.
