A flight attendants life during the RNC...
So I just got home from 5 day trip which I flew in and out of Minni/St. Paul.. I got Bill O'Reilly, a jackass with the shirt that said "Liberals : It's not they are ignorant they are just too stupid to know any better" and all those dumb asses with elephants all over them..
ugh.. who did I piss off in my past life???
But I made it.. barely...

1. You did really well and you are a well balanced person...I on the other
hand would have dropped a pot of hot coffee on his dumb ass.

3. As a flight attendant, have you ever had a passenger...
whom you noticed was pregnant,
and you wondered by her behavior
if:

either her water had broken...

Or she seemed to be in labor?

Are there rules that must be enforced
that keep anything lilke that from happening
on board a plane about to take off?

Just curious.

5. Well that should be handled by reservations or gate agents now when I was preggo..
I had to have a doctors note after I believe 26 weeks? I flew all the way till I was 34 weeks with my second.. and NO we woud not take her if she looked like she was in labor no way no how! If we see someone hacking away we can refuse them.. as a flight attendant I wouldnt want someone who was looking like labor was days away on my flight... too much paperwork!

4. I don't know how you could stand dealing with them.
I'd want to put arsenic in their Spinzels. And somebody is going to have to scrub out those airplanes with Lysol and holy water. Glad that ugly episode is over.

11. So that's what you guys are doing in the galley...
I don't blame you. I'd last maybe one trip as a flight attendant, then they'd fire me because I told some demanding asshole to sit the fuck down in his seat right now and fasten his fucking seat belt and don't talk to me until the plane lands. And God only knows what I'd do to Bill O'Reilly.

Your patience is admirable.
