Have you ever encountered an encounter with someone who just exudes arrogance? Well, let me share with you a funny story about a flight attendant who had the perfect response to a snobbish passenger.
I was onboard a flight, and we were lucky enough to have a flight attendant with an incredible sense of humor. This flight attendant, who happened to be gay, brought a contagious joy to everyone on board. As he served us food and beverages, he added a touch of flair that had us all smiling.
As the time for landing approached, our charismatic flight attendant made his way down the aisle. With a swish in his step, he addressed us in the most delightful manner:
“Attention, lovely people! Captain Marvey asks that we prepare for landing. So, if you could kindly put your trays up, that would be super.”
As he made his way back up the aisle, he noticed that one passenger hadn’t budged an inch. This passenger, an elegantly dressed young woman, seemed to believe she was exempt from following instructions.
Our flight attendant wasn’t about to let her off the hook. He leaned in and said:
“Maybe you missed my announcement amidst the roar of those mighty engines. I did kindly request for you to raise your tray, so that the ‘main man’ can pitty-pat us safely on the ground.”
Without flinching, she turned her head and calmly responded, “In my country, I am called a Princess, and I take orders from no one.”
But our quick-thinking flight attendant didn’t miss a beat. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he retorted:
“Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country, I’m called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray up, B****!”
The entire cabin erupted in laughter, and even the passenger couldn’t help but crack a smile. It was a brilliant way of teaching a lesson without being rude or disrespectful.
This incident reminded me that a little humor and wit can go a long way in diffusing tense situations. It’s important to treat others with kindness and respect, regardless of their status or attitude.
So, next time you encounter someone who thinks they’re above the rules, remember the Queen in the sky and her hilarious response to an arrogant passenger.
