For those who don’t know me, I work as a flight attendant. This definitely allows me to interact with a lot of interesting people and situations. I always say, put 300+ people together in a confined space for over 6 hours and something is bound to happen.
Case in point, on my recent flight back to Hawaii I had a couple traveling with their 4 little boys. The wife demanded that the husband get a bottle of water from the flight crew. Unfortunately, we’re not allowed to give out bottles but we can fill yours up or give you as many cups of water as you’d like.
He took two cups of water and gave it to her. She was furious! “I wanted a BOTTLE of water not cups, you idiot!” He reluctantly came back and asked again. When he went back to her with 2 more cups of water, she yelled, “You make me sick. Don’t even think about coming near me tonight!” He sat down and didn’t speak to her for the rest of the flight.
OMG! How in the world can she speak to him like that especially in public and in front of the kids? And why does he put up with it? I guess everyone has a different tolerance level but I know I would never allow someone who is suppose to love me to speak to me like that.
What about you? How would you handle it?
Mahalo to Yoshi for allowing me to post here today!

If my husband said something like that to me in a public place (and it wasn’t obviously a joke…because we joke around like this a lot), I’d have to break his nose…or a shin…or something…but I’d wait to do that until after we landed. ;)
I’m with Danalyn on this one. Maybe he’s only tolerating it for the sake of the kids. A lot of people will sacrifice themselves like that for their children so that they can grow up with both parents but maybe she’s just a b*tch or it’s that time of the month for her.
I would have to say I’d never tolerate that. I’m afraid if she was like that all the time, then there wouldn’t ever be kids because we probably wouldn’t be together.
I have a lot of patience, but that? that is just stupid. I don’t care if she was having the worst day of her life. You don’t treat someone you love like that.
So here’s how he should have dealt with it. Wait till they were 30 minutes out from their destination. Then tell one of the attendants that the woman in “fill in seat number” keeps talking about blowing up the whole plane. Then tell them that they shouldn’t approach her because she also keeps saying that if one more person even speaks to her she’s getting some kind of weapon out of her bags.
I’m thinking the humiliation of her being forcibly taken from the plane at landing by armed guards, followed by the cavity search and whatever else would probably sort things out between them one way or another.
