While we have to deal with some crazy things working in retail, working daily with a group of people wedged into a sardine can that flies through the air would have to be a greater challenge. \u00a0 Reddit asked their readers to share some of the craziest things they’ve seen and there are definitely some doozies. \u00a0Pretty sure I’d never fly again after I was showered with maggots, but after listening to screaming children on my fair share of flights, I wouldn’t be opposed to the baby in the overhead compartment idea.<\/p>\n

From The Daily Mail:<\/em><\/p>\n

From vomiting passengers to mile-high call girls, there are very few things that flight attendants haven\u2019t seen while flying around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

In a new thread on Reddit, anonymous cabin crew and other airline employees have revealed their most shocking experiences on the job.<\/em><\/p>\n

Their tales of amusing and obscene incidents should put to rest any misconception that flight attendants are merely waitresses or waiters in the sky.<\/em><\/p>\n

One flight attendant, who uses the Reddit<\/a> username transatlantique, said there was one revolting incident in particular that left her absolutely speechless.<\/em><\/p>\n

It happened while cabin crew were serving drinks not long into the flight.<\/em><\/p>\n

She wrote: \u2018Parked my cart, asked a guy what he wanted to drink. He started to answer, then held up a finger, puked into a plastic grocery bag and then went on to ask me for a ginger ale.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

She gave the man the whole can.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another user, zaderatsky, said she was a flight attendant for a major US airline in the 1970s and caught people sneaking into the loo to join the mile high club.<\/em><\/p>\n

A few occasions involved prostitutes on the airline\u2019s New York-San Juan, Puerto Rico, route.<\/em><\/p>\n

She wrote: \u2018On a couple of occasions, hookers would saunter around the plane, hitting on guys who looked as if they were travelling alone.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019d see them occasionally sneaking into a lav with a john. Some of them did enough business to pay their fare.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018The all-nighters were a perfect place to pull this off because after meal service, we\u2019d dim the lights and most people would be sleeping for a couple of hours.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

She added: \u2018It was easy to spot them in the winter because they\u2019d board the plane in hot pants, tube tops and platform shoes when it was [cold] outside.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\"A1\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

User WVAviator works as a crew scheduling supervisor and has heard plenty of tales from his or her employees.<\/em><\/p>\n

One cabin crew member was shocked to find a passenger masturbating in his seat, they wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another user, EmpennageThis, works as a gate agent and has had to call the police for help on a number of occasions due to unruly passengers.<\/em><\/p>\n

It happened one time as angry passengers in first class boarded following a 12-hour flight delay, which they spent in the airport bar.<\/em><\/p>\n

He said two male passengers were kicked off the plane after they got into a fight because one of the men\u2019s wives \u2018kept talking\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n

It caused a further delay for travellers, who had already been stranded for half a day.<\/em><\/p>\n

User mits06, who worked security at an airport, said a first class passenger caused a plane to be grounded after creating a chaotic scene in first class.<\/em><\/p>\n

The passenger apparently went into the lavatory, smoked PCP, a hallucinogenic drug, and came out naked and started freaking out.<\/em><\/p>\n

Naturally, passengers and flight attendants\u2019 relatives recounted their own experiences or tales they\u2019ve heard over the years.<\/em><\/p>\n

User little_mermarx said their mum is a flight attendant and one story in particular has always haunted her.<\/em><\/p>\n

She wrote: \u2018It was a transatlantic flight and halfway through the flight near the back of the plane, the overhead bin started raining maggots on the passengers in one row \u2013 just pouring through.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018One of the other flight attendants investigated and discovered that a passenger had flown in from Africa and was travelling to the US via Europe and had a whole dead fish filled with maggots wrapped inside a newspaper.<\/em><\/p>\n

The suitcase was moved to a lavatory, where it was kept until the plane landed.<\/em><\/p>\n

User thearcheress said a family member is a flight attendant and once found a baby in the overhead bin after noticing the child was missing during a head count.<\/em><\/p>\n

The user wrote: ‘When she asked them where their baby was, they pointed to the overhead bin.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Apparently this was their first flight ever and they thought the overhead bin was some kind of baby carrier.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘My cousin had to rescue the baby and very sternly ask his parents to keep him on their lap.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
