flight attendants need entertainment to keep them awake on those long, boring, late night transatlantic crossings to europe. here’s what i got last night (all the action takes place in the premium class cabin):
a woman and a man who work for the same company, but clearly do not know each other are sitting in seats 5a and 5b. they chit chat through dinner as they drink their wine and enjoy the fine dinner service. they talk about work and her husband. by the time the dessert cart rolls up they are on to liqueurs. she orders a cognac. i ask him if he wants one too. he says, “oh, i’ll just finish hers.”. 3 cognacs and half another bottle of wine later, the lights are out, everyone is asleep but these two have gone from back rub to a full blown make out session, like two horny teenagers. the woman behind them complains that they are so loud that they woke her up. luckily, the brand new couple falls asleep in each others arms.
meanwhile an elderly hasidic man with a walker and his wife/sister take up residence in seats 1a and 1b – right next to the toilet. she tells me that he usually carries some sort of bottle to pee in as it’s tricky for him to up and get to the toilet. but today he accidentally left this “bottle” in the taxi that brought them to the airport, so did we have something similar that he could use. she assured us that he would take care of his “business” under the first class blanket, so it wouldn’t bother anyone.
???!!!
can you imagine? him peeing into a bottle, under a blanket in his first class seat, while the other two are making out? who are these people?
