Trip from hell.....

Okay... so we all know that when it rains it pours. So when it is a thunderstorm we are delayed as hell in the skies. A certain airline I fly for is like crazy about passengers having chocolate chip cookies. Thank goodness, I fly flying with my roommate Brit. We were so delayed I thought it was funny. It was very turbulent so we decided to hold off on the beverage service...hummm. Towards the end of the flight we decided to attempt a service. I mean, it was so bad passengers were catching us because we almost fell out of the aisle. So, Brit said "Sorry everyone the service will be discontinued because we just can't do it." The cookie monsters went crazy. While we are holding on for dear life they are grabbing cookies off of the cart like this was the last supper. "Okay everyone! You'll have your cookies but I'll have a broken leg!", Brit said. But they continued to grab. Unbelievable.

So, the next day. Were thinking yes, a new day. Let's have a new attitude. Positive ride to the airport form the hotel. Get to the airport and we are delayed for 3 hours. I only had 2 cd's to hold us over. We listened to the 2009 Grammy CD about 15 times and we learned all the songs. Brit and I played Captain and First Officer, we played Air Traffic Controllers, we even hopped in the overhead bin to take naps. And it still wasn't time to go. All of a sudden dispatch said we had to go NOW! So we board all these angry people as fast as we can to get them to NYC and boy were they ungrateful. During the flight me and Brit had guys in the back galley trying to get our numbers! Were like please sit down. My guy said he was a GQ model. Were like okay... how much had you had to drink?? These people have spent over 200 bucks on alcohol during one flight. Mr GQ was pissing everybody off on the flight because he kept talking, talking and talking. About how hot he is, he knows Labron James, and he has houses almost everywhere we fly. During all this bull, the captain came on the PA and said were in a holding pattern and we won't be landing for another 45-50 minutes. I had a lady ask me "Is my baby going to die?! I don't have enough food for that long!" I couldn't believe she said that to me. I told her, her chunky baby will be fine for another hour. And then people wanted more alcohol and we told them NO! Drunk people delayed=pissed off flight attendants. So, we finally get this thing on the ground and while we are taxing to the gate we come to a complete stop clearly not at the gate. And I'll be damned if everybody didn't get up and start taking their bags down and everything. We then had to get up, put everyones bag back up like we are bell boys. Then we had a passenger tell us he couldn't sit back down because it was the Sabbath. It was Friday. We kindly, well sorta kindly let him know we didn't care what it was just sit the hell down.

So all in all, the cookie monsters, drunk and fat people, dumb people everything and everyone you can think of was on our plane. Horrific 2 day trip. And I have to go do it all again in about 3 hours:-/
