Robert what do you mean exactly[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink][msnsmile2][msnsmile2][msnsmile2]
I'm a Orlando based Captain. This is my list.
1. You've been sitting at the gate for an hour or two, why must you have to go to the bathroom the second you board?
2. Why must you ask if this aircraft is going to Nashville as you board? You've been sitting at the Nashville gate for a while. And you heard the announcement for the Nashville flight!
3. The flight attendant's are there to save your a$$, not kiss it!
4. When the pilot thumps the aircraft down it doesn't mean he's a bad pilot. It means it's windy out there and all he wants to do is get the aircraft on the deck to avoid any windshear.
5. All passengers should take a written test when they purchase their tickets.
6. All passengers will submit a fashiion photo when they purchase their tickets.
7. What must you need to talk about on your cel phones as you get on board an aircraft? How did you get by in the 90s, 80s, 70s, 60s............?
8. There really is no 'better' place to sit in an aircraft to avoid turbulance. Sit away from the lavs to avoid the smell maybe!
9. When I turn on the fasten seatbelt sign, it means it's going to be bumpy. Please don't get up when it's on. You'll only hurt yourself!
10. If we leave the gate and I say "folks we have a small delay and we're going to be sitting here for a moment or two". It means we have a 'ground stop' into Orlando due to weather and it's going to be at least 30 minutes before we can leave. But it's a pain to go back to the gate and let you all off because when we are released to Orlando half of you have dissapeared and we end up taking an additional 45 minute delay to get back out there!
Welcome aboard! [msnsmile2]

Great reply Jeff, you tell em (and me as I am a passenger not a pilot).
I particularly like 3 and 6 anad can fully understand your reasoning for 10.
I am always aware of the fact that, no matter how tired I feel, those poor flight attendants are probably more tired after running around for us passengers for 8 hours and having to smile and be polite to everyone on board. I used to work in a 'customer facing' role for years, and it can wear you down at the best of times.
Hooray for all flight attendants, pilots and airport staff that get us to our destination. [clap][clap][clap]

I'll second that[clap] our "future" Daughter-in-Law is a flight attendant...and she has just read Jeff and Amy Stephens post - she reckons all the points should be displayed on the tickets[msnwink]
A friend of mine was once told by a first class passenger that she 'came with the ticket' his son was being very bad mannered towards her - I won't tell you where she put his steak before he ate it[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]
I must remember to wear something stylish, brush my hair and put my lippy on if Jeff is piloting a flight I am on. My standards do slip when I'm on me hols. The Orlando humidity doesn't do a lot for my hair.

How about the trainers you wore around the parks for two weeks are not necessarily the ones to choose for a nine hour flight home!!

Just read all the posts, and I have to say that my pet hates are children kicking seat backs and pulling the top (yes I do have a child ) and reclinning seats argggggggggggggggggg, it is difficult when you are tall and this makes it worse, I wish they would make airlines put in more space - yes I know it costs money.
