We have a flight attendant like that. He basically has a comedy routine that he goes through in a flight. The passengers love it but if you fly with him a couple of times it gets old.
Man, here I was waiting for you to start a 300-reply debate thread with the other guy for not appreciating some flight attendant's comedy routine. You gave up too easily, man.
I can't find a link but lately I've been watching videos of women trying to get indignant with retail workers but the retail worker does everything right and when she watches the woman lose steam and look disappointed she asks "would you like to have a fight?", and the customer cheers up and says "yes please!" and then they both have a row right there at the supermarket aisle and afterwards the customer thanks the retail worker.
Anyway I can't find any of those videos right now and it sounds stupid when described but they are hilarious.
Without a doubt the freelance comedians of Southwest would whip that line out in the sassiest of ways, and we'd all chuckle, including the ppl showing off their bags 😂
Yeah, I've seen lots of flight attendants and pilots joke around like this, and there are even lots of videos--many made long before AI was a thing--of even more wild jokes they pull. This is totally normal.
The captain saying this would stretch redulity but not the flight attendant. I've met a few with an impish sense of humour. Being trapped on a metal tube with customers will do that.
I was once on an Aer Lingus flight from Chicago to Dublin. There were a few people aboard wearing cowboy hats and when we we landed and the flight attendant at the plane door was making every single passenger in a cowboy hat say "Yee-haw!" before they left. It was amazing.
A flight attendant on a flight from Baltimore to Pittsburgh made fun of everyone for taking such a short flight. I was only taking it because I left from Pittsburgh to another airport and that was my connection to get back.
I flew delta last month, and there were at least 2 highly dressed women with designer suitcases in first class. Just because people have money doesn’t mean that they need to splurge lmao
A lady went into cardiac arrest in my penultimate flight with Ryanair and in like 10 seconds she had 4 doctors around, all from the rows close to her. Unlike in movies when someone asks for a doctor with the airplane noise it takes a while for the news that someone has a problem to get through the plane, if it even gets through it (pretty sure the people in the front rows didn't even notice something happened).
I've been on a few flights where the attendant or captain has made a light joke. I've flown Spirit before, and the attendants are a little more 'upfront' than some other airlines
Spirit airlines flight attendants are always funny and theatric. Every time I fly Spirit, the FA making the safety announcement always adds jokes or makes it a whole routine
I remember a Southwest flight attendant on one trip say, "In the event of an emergency, please wait for a uniformed and fully clothed attendant to direct you" (or something like that - "uniformed and fully clothed" was word-for-word, though, and my friend and I joked that the attendant was gonna dance down the aisle in a grass skirt and coconut bra while he helped people)
Not only did this probably happen, but that flight attendant probably makes the same joke on every single flight
Yup.
This doesn't even sound like an original joke. I could see a comic making this joke, or someone on Instagram, and the attendant borrowed it.
I mean... It is Spirit after all.

I mean he isn’t doing it for you
Yeah exactly. That came off the wrong way. He’s great and does a good job.
Ah ok

One can ponder for eons on whether or not I simply had better things to do or simply lack the gumption

I thought there was even a video of this.
Edit: not quite but close enough Source: Facebook https://share.google/KCIcVJPFxavCYqShr
I’ve seen this exact joke in a video years ago
I'm pretty sure I've seen a video of this? FAs often have a funny spiel that they repeat for every flight.
Here it is!
Exactly, it helps people feel more at ease and gives people a good chuckle/laugh
I’d bet it also makes people pay more attention to the safety briefing, in case there’s another joke.
Oh for sure, I didn’t even think of that
I edited to include the video
Ooh it’s especially satisfying when there’s video evidence to counter the that happened crowd
Yeah, SUUUUUURE, buddy. This was definitely scripted for an empty plane and those laughs and claps were edited in in post. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Jesus, have you never been on a plane? Cabin crew and even pilots make jokes constantly. Get out of the house sometime.
It’s … a joke. I’m making one, too.
Oh, sorry! Poe's Law and all of that...
Also for some reason today I've been getting weirdly negative comments on posts from long ago so my hackles were raised
Haha, no biggie.
The captain saying this would stretch redulity but not the flight attendant. I've met a few with an impish sense of humour. Being trapped on a metal tube with customers will do that.
And getting to be slightly ruder than most customer service jobs is literally the only perk of metal tube customer service.
Yeah you need to rorschach that situation

I remember once on a flight a flight attendant said “if you leave anything behind, be sure it fits us or it’s chocolate” this absolutely is believable
Edit bc I’m not in untrustworthypoptarts
Okay so can someone explain this to me
Explain what? The untrustworthypoptarts thing?
The quote from the airline? What does it mean? Make sure it fits us or it’s chocolate
Basically joking if someone forgot anything make sure it’s useful to them or tasty to eat!
Do people on that sub just think people never make jokes in public?
Everyone with designer bags fly spirit!! How the rich stay rich!!

Poor people think that everything wealthy people do has to be flashy.
1st class delta is expensive tho

Flew SNA > SMF on Southwest and the pilots came over the intercom to “argue” if we should take the 5 or 99.
I actually had a very similar thing said on my Spirit flight last week. I 100% believe it.
That happened
This sounds extremely happenable
I’ve seen a compilation of budget airline flight attendants making this exact joke. If this post is a lie, it’s because it stole the joke.
DON' T FORGET THE COFFEE!!!1
