Transcript

Welcome to Episode #32!

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Tried to open the aircraft door at mid-flight with confidence and then fully changed outfits in their seat. Shoes off, no shame. Eventually they tried to detain him, but he managed to slither through their hands. He ran naked through the airport for about an hour while they chased him. And I was like, Great, we knocked on the door to see if it was occupied. He was like, I've never heard of that before. What knocking on the door? Once again, getting naked in public. People love doing that. One of our favorite social media platforms right now is Threads. And that's pretty much because we often just share our unhinged thoughts on there. And apparently they're relatable.

Our very interesting poll question

SPEAKER_01 0:46

But lately we've been asking the audience some questions. And what we posted recently had some very interesting responses. And we're going to talk about that on today's episode. So we recently pulled on threads. We said flight attendants, what is the most jaw-dropping thing you've ever seen a passenger do? And we get this question a lot from passengers, and these answers did not disappoint. But

Drew’s ‘pretty good’ flying updates

SPEAKER_01 1:10

Andrew, first, before we get started into the craziest things passengers do, what's been going on in your world flying lately? Oh my God.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

It's been um pretty good, actually. Surprisingly. It is good. All things spread. Um, yeah. No, I mean, while everything is running a little bit behind schedule because of winter ops, um, it's mostly otherwise been smooth. I haven't really um haven't really had anything happen to me um noteworthy recently, which is weird because I feel like I usually do.

SPEAKER_01 1:47

But yeah, no, it's been this isn't like you. You have some pretty dramatic days of work.

unknown 1:52

I know.

SPEAKER_01 1:53

I think it follows you.

SPEAKER_00 1:54

I'm I probably create my own chaos if we really want to go into therapy about it, but uh creating my own chaos.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

It's part of why my life is so much fun, okay? Yeah. Don't be jealous.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Uh yeah, no, I've been working uh vacation routes and post-holiday, those tend to calm down. Yeah. We're not as vacationing these days. I completely get that. Yeah. Um it's been quiet and empty, which is the way I like it.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

For sure. It's nice to get a little break sometimes. It's crazy out there. Yeah. How's

Rich's not-too-chaotic’ flying updates

SPEAKER_01 2:33

flying been for you? Flying has been pretty good. Um, I've had mostly just like the normal level of annoying. Like nothing too chaotic, but nothing like easy. It's just that like middle of the road annoying things. Like the other day we were deplaning, and you know, we both take the train to work, and I was like, okay, if we like finish deep planing right now, because we're at the bottom of the term, like C terminal, I can make it to the train. This is great. And we have any wheelchairs or whatever. And um, this woman in the last row who has been sitting here for all of deplaning decides to get up and use the bathroom. And I was like, Oh, I'm sorry. Um, no, it's broken. Like, I was trying to like just get her to go use the one in the terminal. Right. Like, why did you sit here for like the 20 minutes that it takes to deplane this full airplane and go now? But whatever. She goes, Oh, I can't, I can't, I have to go home. She just like rushes in. 20 minutes. 20 minutes go by, and she's still in this lab. We're like pounding on the door, like, ma'am, you need to get out of there. And she's like, Okay, I'm almost done. And I mean, like, no, get out of the bathroom. So she finally comes out, and we're like, Are you feeling okay? And she goes, Yeah, why? What do you mean, yeah, why? You've been in there for 20 minutes, and the smell is atrocious. Like, and she just like grabs her purse and walks off. I'm like, I don't get paid enough for this. And actually, during deep planning, I don't get paid for that.

SPEAKER_00 4:13

Yeah. Um, I usually keep the labs locked during deep planning for that reason. Yeah. Um, just as a deterrent. If it's really an emergency, I'll let you do it. But also, the labs have been turned off. Yeah. Like they're being serviced, the bottom doesn't work.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

Yeah, a lot of times they don't work.

SPEAKER_00 4:30

Um so if you really need it, I can make it work for you. I think I should have fought harder to get her off the plane. Maybe that reminds me. I did have something crazy happened to me last year. This man was in the bathroom for a long time before we took off. It's always the bathroom. I knocked on the door, um, and then no one answered. So we like unlocked it. And he was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And then he comes out and he was like, I don't know what's happening, but there was like a loud banging. And I was like, Great, we knocked on the door to see if it was occupied. And he was like, Yeah, but it didn't sound like a knock. It was like a loud, or he was like, I've never heard of that before. It was just a loud banging.

SPEAKER_01 5:11

Never heard of what knocking on the door?

SPEAKER_00 5:13

Yeah. So then I explained to him how we take our knuckles and like rap on the door to make sure like get somebody inside. To explain knocking to a grown man. I had to explain knocking to a green grown man. And then there was a I had to like deal with him later in the flight, and he wanted to get mad at me. He thought I needed to apologize for the patronizing way in which I spoke to him. And I was like, Well, sir, you made me explain to you what a knock on a door was. And I don't think as a an adult human I can do that without sounding patronizing. So that's really a you problem and not a me problem.

SPEAKER_01 5:49

So you continue to be patronizing. I love that.

SPEAKER_00 5:53

I'm very sorry you took it that way, but I don't know how I could have like explained how a knock on a door works with like with you not taking it that way. So like I'm very sorry that's the way you took it, but you made me explain to you what a knock on a door was. So that's feels like a you problem and not a me problem.

SPEAKER_01 6:12

It's uncomfortable to say the least. Um, well,

Diving into the passenger chaos!

SPEAKER_01 6:16

speaking of crazy things passengers do. Let's get into it. Let's dive into it. Um, the first first response here it's already off

Crazy#1: Ma’am, this is not the space for that

SPEAKER_01 6:29

to a rough start. Breastfeed a puppy. What's the wildest, most jaw-dropping thing you've ever seen? Breastfeed a puppy. I mean I have follow-up questions, but I don't.

SPEAKER_00 6:46

I don't, and I a hundred percent believe this is true because there was one time in my career where a lady was breastfeeding a baby doll. Um, so it for sure. Yeah, yeah. I feel bad because I think it was like an emotional support thing. I fully believe that she like lost a child, so I was trying not to be like mean about it. But at the point she started breastfeeding, and I was like, what's happening? What's going on over here?

SPEAKER_01 7:15

Right. You're like, there's no infant on the manifest. Like yeah, yeah, yeah. There's no baby here. What's she feeding?

SPEAKER_00 7:21

Yeah. Had you like fed it baby food, I wouldn't have had questions, but it was like the and anyways, it was weird. And as soon as I read that, I was like, oh yeah, that happened. That 100% happened. That's funny. Uh the

Crazy#2: Toilet problems & asking for help

SPEAKER_00 7:37

next one I have is taking a crap over the toilet cover and then asking me to come in and help. I was like the the all the down and then he and hovered over the closed toilet and was like, I don't get it. I don't I don't understand. But also I fully see it happening.

SPEAKER_01 7:58

Yeah. And the asking for help part is diabolical though.

SPEAKER_00 8:01

Like what else were they gonna do? What they can't find the uh Kleenexes, they can't find the like hand towels because those are apparently they can't find the toilet either. Right, right, right, right. But who else were you gonna be like, I think the toilet's broken because my it didn't go away.

SPEAKER_01 8:19

Like once again, I'm locking that lav and we're not I'm not dealing with it. I don't do poop and I don't do vomit. We're not let's move it along, people. Stop being gross, right?

Crazy#3: Barefoot outfit changes

SPEAKER_01 8:32

Um tried to open the aircraft door at mid-flight with confidence, and then fully change outfits in their seat. Shoes off, no shame. I feel like we're seeing an increase in this like changing in the middle of the plane thing. I can't, I mean, I understand changing in a lavatory is not necessarily the easiest thing to do. I mean, they're tiny rooms, but like But how did you not come on the plane in the clothes that you wanted to be on? Be on the plane in. Right. I just I would never think, gosh, I'm uncomfortable. I know. Let me strip down to my underwear in the middle of the aisle in front of 200 people and put a different outfit on.

SPEAKER_00 9:13

And also, I'm gonna hearken back to Bree's story because I just love it. How did you decide you needed to scuba suit? Like scuba, how did you decide you needed to scuba steve it right in the middle of right in the middle of the flight?

SPEAKER_01 9:26

I mean, honestly, I don't care what you're wearing, but why why do we have to be involved in the selection process? No.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

I also don't uh understand why people think the doors will open once the airplane is pressurized. Um fun fact for those of you who think this sounds like a great idea.

SPEAKER_01 9:43

It's not, and it won't so don't start just don't even start touching anything on the aircraft. Stay away from the doors. We're probably gonna duct tape you to a seat if you do.

SPEAKER_00 9:54

Yeah.

Crazy#4: What’s with this passenger?

SPEAKER_00 9:56

Um, a few days ago, a man decided to pee with the door open like a urinal stall. I shouted at him to close the door. He looked me dead in the eye and continued. It was 4 a.m. on a red eye. I nearly jumped out of the plane. Um, I also found Pooh where the toilet liners go as I was trying to remove the trash.

SPEAKER_01 10:17

You know what's incredible is how many stories flight intendants have about poop. Like we could do an entire episode of this show about poop and poop-related stories.

SPEAKER_00 10:30

Yeah. Or people who just genuinely do not know how to use the bathroom on an airplane. Right. Well, that's a given.

SPEAKER_01 10:39

None of them do. Not one. There's like maybe for every hundred passengers, five people who know how to use the bathroom without assistance. Um, oh, here we go

Crazy#5: Here we go again…

SPEAKER_01 10:51

again. More poop. Someone smeared shit all over the lav on an E175, your favorite airplane. I'm talking wall, sink, mirror, literally everywhere smeared, but the shitter itself. So we had to close it for the remainder of the flight, leaving us with only one lav for the rest of the flight.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

Yeah, I don't understand it. I don't get what happens in the lavatours.

SPEAKER_01 11:13

Like, are people intentionally being assholes or are they just clueless about how bathrooms work? Like, I don't I genuinely like we need psychologists in here to like study the human behavior that we are witnessing because it does not make any sense. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:35

It doesn't. Um, and the like inability to throw the trash in the trash can that's labeled trash. Um, instead they'll like stuff it in the Kleenex box or behind the roll of toilet paper. Right. Uh what of all yeah, it's like labeled. Right. It says trash. And you know what else is labeled?

SPEAKER_01 11:57

The button that says flush. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You just push it and they don't they don't do that either.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

Nope. Alright,

Crazy#6: Tray table over changing table

SPEAKER_00 12:05

the next one I have is Change Their Baby on a tray table. Uh mind you, she had an aisle seat and was maybe four rows from the lavatory.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

Um public service announcement Airplane lavatories almost always have changing tables.

unknown 12:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

Almost always. I think they like are required. Well, I mean, like some like they're required in every plane, but like most of them have changing tables. At least one of the three, even if you don't know, maybe go ask a flight attendant before deciding to change your baby's dirty diaper on a tray that is meant for eating and drinking. Um, yeah, that's gross.

SPEAKER_00 12:47

Yeah, I think parents forget that it's bodily fluid because they're so used to doing it wherever, wherever. Yeah. I think back to that movie where the mom like pulls something brown and she was like, chocolate or poop, chocolate or baby mama.

SPEAKER_01 13:01

Amy Polar and Tina Faye, one of my favorite movies. Chocolate or poop, chocolate. Is this pooper chocolate? It's chocolate. What if that had been poop?

SPEAKER_00 13:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:10

I I don't think they remember that it's their possibility. Moms are probably pretty numb to like most things.

SPEAKER_00 13:18

Well, I'm not, so let's stop that.

SPEAKER_01 13:22

Um,

Crazy#7: The ultimate chase

SPEAKER_01 13:23

I'm not a flight attendant, ground staff here. One time a passenger was told he had to leave the airport as he was causing a disruption disruption. So he unrolled his sleeping bag in the airport, went inside, took off all his clothes, once again, getting naked in public. People love doing that, and then tied his sleeping bag to the bin with him inside. Eventually they tried to detain him, but he managed to slither through their hands. He ran naked through the airport for about an hour while they chased him. Is there a video of this? Not that I want to see the man naked, but just the thought of this naked man running around the airport for an hour with authorities trying to chase him unsuccessfully is one of the funniest visuals, I think.

SPEAKER_00 14:05

Yeah, mine the funnier part of that visual for me is him trying to like hammock his sleeping bag into a bin somehow while being inside of it.

SPEAKER_01 14:13

Right.

SPEAKER_00 14:14

I really need to watch all of this. I need to watch this whole thing go down.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

Ooh. Better idea. Hollywood, take this idea and make a movie. I'll pay top dollar.

Crazy#8: Patience is a virtue, not a cup

SPEAKER_00 14:25

Um, there was a small line for the lav, so the mom had her son, maybe 10. P in a cup in the galley. You know what we could have done, mom? We could have taught our child that this was a great opportunity to like learn some patience or the importance of telling us earlier that we needed to go to the bathroom. I don't the like my kid needs to go to the bathroom right now issue drives me. Right.

SPEAKER_01 14:53

Because it's also like indicative of where we are as a society where it's like I want slash need what I want slash need, and I need it, want it right now. And I better get it right now, or there's gonna be a problem. Like, we have to stop having that mentality, especially on an airplane. Like, this is shared space. Like, you can't just like have the lavatory. Like, this woman came up to first class yesterday while I was flying, and she's like, I need to go to the bathroom. I was like, Well, someone's in there. She was like, Okay, well, I have to go. Okay, then you'll have to wait. Like, I don't understand. Like, you want me to pull this person out? Like, they need to go as well. I don't know, it's just it's mind-blowing that people are like on the door because it confuses them inside what's happening. Yeah, that's true. I just don't know what people want from us sometimes. Uh, the next

Crazy#9: To lick or not to lick?

SPEAKER_01 15:44

one trying to lick my colleague's face.

SPEAKER_00 15:47

I dare you. Dare you to try. What are you doing? What would you do in response? Lick back. Lick back. Yikes. Not really.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

No, I don't think you're joking.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

I am. I know I don't like people that much.

SPEAKER_01 16:05

Why are you licking people?

SPEAKER_00 16:08

Like, what is the joint? Where where what are you trying to get out of this? Why are you close enough to me to do that?

SPEAKER_01 16:14

Not that I think they would listen to this podcast, but if you're someone who would lick someone's face in public and you're listening to this podcast, please send us a message.

SPEAKER_00 16:23

We have questions. Oh,

Crazy#10: Nail biters

SPEAKER_00 16:25

this one's gross.

SPEAKER_02 16:31

What? Yeah. I don't love that one.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

How did you get your toes close enough to your mouth to do that? I mean, A, I'm impressed because I don't think I could have that kind of flexibility. I could do it, but it's never crossed my mind to try. I am disgusted right now. Waiting your toenails. I mean, will wonders ever cease? No. Um,

Crazy#11: Port-a-NO

SPEAKER_01 16:57

carry porta potty for their toddler and proceeded to use it on the passenger seat for them to shit in, then carried the plastic container of poop through the cabin and tried to put it in our trash can in the galley. I what what?

SPEAKER_02 17:16

What?

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Yeah. It's also like when somebody walks up a bag of vomit to you and decide what to do with it. Like dump it into the toilet. Push flush.

SPEAKER_01 17:28

Right? We don't have storage bins for this. Yeah. I don't want that in my galley, even in the trash cart. Like, I'm gonna smell it. Oh god, we serve food and drinks there. We don't want your bags of shit and vomit to just like stench up the place. I don't, I can't.

SPEAKER_00 17:47

Uh,

Crazy#12: Both crazy and psychotic

SPEAKER_00 17:48

we had an unruly passenger. She made a lot of trouble during the flight, locked herself in the lab during landing. Fine. We let her police were waiting for. When she saw them, she started to fake an epileptic shock uh or something. Still don't know if she was high or psychotic. It sounds like maybe both. Also, this sounds like a Tuesday. I think you got off easy. She took care of herself, she locked herself in the bathroom. Like, I'm done with you all.

SPEAKER_01 18:17

It sounds like another episode of Jerry Springer, though. Like faking a seizure. And like, I mean, come on, people. I can't with the dramatics. And like, they're always the worst actors, too. Like, every time you're watching these people, like fake whatever, like, you know, if you hit them on the carp accident or something and they act like you just amputated their leg. Oh, ah, oh, oh, I think it's broken. Like, just calm down. You're not winning any Academy Awards here, sir. Right. It's awful. Um, this

Crazy#13: Well, we can’t get mad at her

SPEAKER_01 18:49

was a cute jaw-dropping moment. A lady was traveling alone and wearing her huge wedding gown and headdress, and just had a mini wedding handbag in full wedding attire and full wedding makeup, and she looked very beautiful. And she was going straight to her wedding in Qatar. Wasn't a full flight. Her dress took up three seats, but honestly, we were so happy for her. Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 19:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

Traveling alone, fully, fully made up and ready for your wedding, and off you go. I would be jaw-dropped over that one as well, but also that is beautiful, and I hope she had an amazing wedding.

SPEAKER_00 19:27

I feel like I'm gonna wear a wedding dress to work next week.

SPEAKER_02 19:32

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00 19:34

It's inspiring.

SPEAKER_02 19:36

You're feeling inspired to do it.

SPEAKER_01 19:38

I wanna do it too. Not a bride anymore. Who says I can't wear the dress? Uniform standards? Probably.

SPEAKER_00 19:49

I'm gonna email my manager to see if I get in trouble for it. Yeah. Stay tuned. We'll follow up on that in a few weeks.

Crazy#14: Colds, jeans, and germs

SPEAKER_00 19:57

Blew their nose right into their sleeve and then wiped it on their jeans. Continued to do it for the whole flight, didn't ask for any napkins, tissues, or anything. Uh sounds like they handled the situation. Yeah. Also, not to downplay your experience, but if that's the craziest thing that's happened to you on an airplane that you've seen. I mean missed on an airplane. It's still pretty gross, though. It is gross.

SPEAKER_01 20:29

But you're right.

SPEAKER_00 20:30

Well, you got off pretty easy.

SPEAKER_01 20:31

If we're ranking top ten wildest moments to happen on an airplane, you're not making the cut. Yeah. Yeah, that's fair.

Crazy#15: Call him, maybe?

SPEAKER_01 20:39

Leaving his mobile number and a tissue inside the lavatory for other passengers to find.

SPEAKER_00 20:47

For other passengers to find?

SPEAKER_01 20:49

What did it say like call me or like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 20:55

Insurance services. My mobile number on a boarding pass, and it worked out well for me.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

Yeah, not in a lavatory. It worked because we were having a normal human interaction and liked each other. Yeah. This is some kind of weird behavior. What I I need to know if there was text with the number because but what what are you looking for?

SPEAKER_00 21:18

Yeah, I mean, I feel like I've seen a TikTok recently where somebody uh balled up a napkin and it was like, go on a date with me, yes or no, to the flight attendant. Um, but if you didn't have the gall to talk to me, the answer's no.

SPEAKER_01 21:34

I've seen that a lot. Like passengers passing their number because they feel like awkward saying something out loud. But yeah. I don't know. I feel like that's weird. It's not working for you. No. Well, good thing you're not looking for anybody right now. This is true.

SPEAKER_00 21:49

It it is to everyone's benefit that I'm not.

Crazy#16: Your soda is not there, Sir

SPEAKER_00 21:53

Next, I have uh I had a man rummage through my galley compartments, uh, also pulling out my Personal items, uh, claiming to look for sodas. Why are you touching my personal things, first of all? Why are you opening compartments? If you wanted a soda, you push the fight it in a call button above your head and you say, Oh, I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd really like a sprite.

SPEAKER_01 22:15

Or do you come to the galley and ask for it? Yeah, on your way from the bathroom. I'm just never gonna let that debate die. No. Call bell versus visiting us in the celly. If you've been listening for a while, you know this is a constant debate in our household.

SPEAKER_00 22:30

Yeah, but this is like the guy who like was eating my salad off the galley counter. Like what what why are you in?

SPEAKER_01 22:37

Why are you in my space? Yeah, yeah. I can't imagine like going into someone's workspace and just start opening compartments. Like, what who told you to start doing this?

SPEAKER_00 22:48

Yeah, I had passengers once like go into a galley cart that was like closed in the back galley and pulled out water. And then when I told them that that was considered theft and they should probably return it, had another passenger come up and tell me that I was too hard on them, that on international flights, you know, water's just free. Okay, but like when the free water is out for you to take, there's like a whole display setup. You didn't have to like unlatch things and open things and go into compartments that like clearly weren't meant for you to pull out a bottle of water.

SPEAKER_01 23:25

Yeah, it's like imagine going to a restaurant and just like walk wandering into the kitchen and being like, Oh, I'm just gonna grab some stuff. You don't do that, you don't make your own omelet. I wish. I'd go in there and steal, who knows what I'd steal? Cheese, probably.

SPEAKER_00 23:42

This is behavior. Yeah, it has to stop. Sit down, put your seatbelt on, be quiet. I don't get it. I don't understand.

SPEAKER_01 23:49

It's simple. It's so simple to be a passenger on an airplane. Yeah. And yet people make it so complicated. So hard. All right, next

Crazy#17: The Aluminum Woman

SPEAKER_01 23:57

up. This is a good one. Woman wearing an aluminum foil helmet to stop the radiation from entering her body.

SPEAKER_00 24:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 24:08

No.

SPEAKER_00 24:08

I feel like I feel like if that's what you need to survive life, then like wear your tinfoil hat.

SPEAKER_01 24:16

I the visual is Oh yeah. She's real crazy. I'm seeing bleach blonde hair, uh, couple missing teeth, very blotchy skin, um, and probably wearing pajamas. Does that ring a bell? Does that sound right? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 24:40

Does that match the tinfoil hat? It does. It reminds me of this passenger I had once, though, that like we were going from, I don't know, there was no, there's literally no water involved in our route where we're, I think we were going from like, I want to say from like Fort Lauderdale to Phoenix or something like this. I have no idea. But it was like straight across land the whole time. There's no water involved in our flight. And she decided that she was couldn't be on the flight without a life vest on in case we um flew over water because she didn't know how to swim. You know, as much as I think that's crazy, I oh she kind of under her seat, she pulled it out, put it on, and I would have been fine with it if she would have left it uninflated.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

Then that's where she crossed the line as I was walking away. I hear the sound, I could just imagine walking through the cabin and hearing that behind me.

SPEAKER_00 25:43

What? What are you doing? And she and then she's choking, you know, real tight. There's tight and recurrent. There's so tight and she's like, um, can I have a diet coke? It was supposed to be like this, and I was like, it sure is. Do you feel do you feel better? Do you feel better now? Do you feel safer?

SPEAKER_01 26:03

Yeah. So she missed the part in the safety demo where we say, Don't inflate until after you've left the airplane.

SPEAKER_00 26:12

We didn't even get to the demo to tell her that because she needed the life vest. It was that it was before the demo. Yeah. Okay. We hadn't even like closed the door to leave yet, and she had worked herself up to the point where she inflated a life vest.

SPEAKER_01 26:26

Passengers,

Beloved passengers, listen to Rich

SPEAKER_01 26:27

we really need to find a balance between those of you that do not give a rat's ass about the safety of yourself and the people on the airplane and the people that take it too far and are wearing the stupid life vest during boarding? I there's gotta be some sort of happy medium here. Can we come to a compromise where you like maybe kind of care about your safety, but like don't do anything crazy? Can can we like find that balance? No, I don't think I can. No.

Drew has officially seen it all!

SPEAKER_01 26:56

What's the most uh jaw-dropping thing you think you've ever seen on an airplane?

SPEAKER_00 27:02

I don't is it bad that I don't like either A don't remember the most jaw-dropping thing, or I feel like I've told a lot of my secrets. Right. Um, between the overhead bin and the breastfeeding of the doll and the life vest. I mean, I think like I've told a lot of secrets. Nothing is jaw-dropping anymore when you've seen it all. Yeah. No, I'm like listening to these tweets though, and I was like, oh yeah, I had that happen. Some grown man, because their lavatory was broken, decided instead of holding it for 30 minutes that he needed to pee in the galley. Yep. Just walked up to the galley and said, I have to go to the bathroom. And I said, Okay, well, there's not really a lot of options for that. Well, like that happens like frequently. Yeah. There's I'm just there's no jaw dropping anymore. You're gonna have to be like really, really off your rocker for it to be jaw dropping for me at this point.

SPEAKER_01 27:57

There was a woman on Spirit like a few years ago who like they wouldn't let her go to the bathroom or something, so she just peed on the galley floor. Like sometimes things break.

SPEAKER_00 28:06

Yeah. How what am I supposed to do?

SPEAKER_01 28:08

Yeah, some of these wild stories really just are aren't even that wild anymore because you see them so often.

SPEAKER_00 28:14

So often.

Rich is (mostly) unbothered by the craziness

SPEAKER_01 28:15

What about you? That's the wildest thing that's ever happened to you on a flying. Honestly, that's gall-dropping. Part of why I love flying with new people is like something like mildly crazy will happen, and the new hire will like come rushing to the back and be like, Oh my god, this lady, she was just like clipping her toenails on the tray table, and you're like, Yeah. So this is your first one of them. You'll see this loony behavior as time goes on. Little new hire, I promise. Yeah. Um, I for me, the most jaw-dropping thing I've seen, it's a toss-up between, and I think I've told this story on the show before. The guy who I asked to go to the bathroom when the seatbelt sign was on, and I said, Well, the seatbelt sign is on, and just kind of like left it at that, and he pooped on the floor in his row. Oh, yeah, yeah. You have told this. Like he just like loosened the seatbelt, slid his body down. You have told this story. Pooped on the carpet, pooped on the carpet, and um was like, What? You said I couldn't go to the bathroom. Okay. Either that or a similar guy who we could not stop get to stop masturbating. Um he was trying to pretend like he wasn't. People around him were like, This man is masturbating. Like, you could see him under his coat, like going at it pretty intensely, and he was like, No, I'm not, I'm not doing anything. I'm really not. I don't know why you could I don't know why you guys keep bothering me. You're not really, I'm not doing anything. And like the second we would walk away, you could like hear him doing it. You could hear the I'm not even gonna make that noise. So yeah, that's probably it's a toss-up between those two things. People doing lewd and crude and gross things. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

Lewd and crude and gross. I don't get it. I don't understand. Yeah, I never will. Me neither.

SPEAKER_01 30:18

Put your headphones on, read a book. It's my favorite part about flying, reading a book. Right. Checking out, yeah, minding your own business, zoning out for a few minutes, getting some zen.

SPEAKER_00 30:28

Yeah.
