This weeks question comes from Mark Lawrence:
“What is the most ridiculous excuse you have heard from a person who just could not stay seated?“
This one stumped me because I’ve heard all the “regular” excuses…have to go to the bathroom really bad, back aches, recent leg surgery etc…but nothing really ridiculous, so I called on my friends over at Twitter, who are awesome by the way, and here is what they came up with:
“Worst ever had was pro football charter & several guys were in too much pain to sit. They were really nice about it but some wouldn’t even sit for landing!”

“Last one I can recall, Was the “Praying” Excuse, Then kept hanging out in the Galley moo-ching drinks, *Eye Roll*“

“I forgot to turn my phone off, while fumbling thru the overhead bin!”

“I’m in a hurry”, “I’m a diamond stellar status member”, “I have a pilot’s license” “I can’t understand English”-oh really?

Best excuse I’ve heard was “I’m a fighter pilot, I’m used to flying.” We hit some moderate turbulence & he spilled his soda.

Number 2 for take off Woman gets out her seat to open overhead bin I ask her to sit down she says “My lucky shirt is in my..bag.” My response, “Well if this plane takes off with you up your not going to be so lucky…please sit down!”

-This just get me every time. “The agent said if there were open seats in F/C, that I could sit there!!”
-“Oh I Thought The Seatbelt Sign Was Off”!!
-“my kids are sitting in F/C and I have to keep checking on them”

“Once as F/O I got called to the back for this. A kinda large lady said she just had ASS surgery.”

Great input from our Twitter Buddies, Thing is none are original, we've heard them all, haven't we? What comic relief!!
Thanks for sharing….
True, we've heard them all but the "others" probably haven't;-)Thanks again for your help! Hope you had a great day: )
That comment about the ants just cracks me up!!!
Oh, wait – that was me!

flyddw: You're a funny guy;-)
LOL at all of them – I've seen some very frustrated F/A's at times – now I know why. But – I DO like the F/C one – I'll have to remember that for our family's next long haul overseas trip to South Africa – 17 hours in coach is a LOONNNGGGG time – Business or coach would be a WHOLE lot better! 🙂
you have to feel bad for the poor lady who just had ass surgery!
what was she doing on a plane if she knew she couldn't sit down?!
funny post!
Mark:Thanks again for the question: )I love the FC one too…very…very..common..lol!
QG: I know, ass surgery…it just sounds so funny: )
These were fun to read-thanks for using mine, too 🙂
Hehehe… I had to roll my eyes multiple times 🙂
