Walking through the terminal years ago, after being up all night, when an elderly man grabs my arm and lets me have it because there is no toilet paper in the mens room. I'm trying to tell him I don't work there when a women sees this and she comes up and starts complaining about the womens restroom needing cleaned. I just bite my tongue and walk off.

When deadheading in uniform, and asked, "Shouldn't you be sitting up front?"
2 Great responses come to mind....
1. "No, that little punk can think he can do it all himself, I'm just gonna let him try this flight!"
2. "No ma'am, I fly cargo. I didn't pass the personality test to fly passengers." After they reply, "There isn't a personality test." I quickly respond with "Yes there is! Now leave me ALONE!!!"

Way back when I was at CMR, I was waiting for the hotel bus in CLE. This guy in an Armani suit jumps out of a cab and does the same thing to me as that lady did to Ranger. His bag was going to the NWA desk, about 30 ft. away. When he told me to take his bag there, I said "Sure, for 10 bucks." He did a double take, then grumbled and handed me the 10 spot. I took his bag over and told'em what flight he was on. Then the Capt. and the FA came out. He asked me what I was doing, and I told him I'd just made my lunch money for the day. He couldn't believe it. I think he was jealous. The guy in the fancy suit never did notice that I wasn't a Skycap. hehehe

My buddy was jumping on Frontier, he is a DC9 f/o. The newbie Frontier F/O ask my buddy if he would like him to turn in a resume for him. The Frontier captain looked at newbie F/O and said why would he want that, he makes more than I do. The newbie F/O just stared in disbelief......,

Standing by the concierge desk in uniform at 0530, was asked by an inebriated young thing "What time do they serve breakfast here?" Wished I'd said "So sorry, this hotel doesn't do breakfast," but brain was too slow..I'm ready for next time! :-)
