What Airline Passengers Hate About Flight Attendants

from Two Guys on a Plane · host Drew + Rich

In this episode, we decided to flip the script a bit. You hear us complain about passengers all the time—on the podcast, on the jumpseat, in the galley, everywhere. So today, we handed the mic to you: the passengers. We asked what flight attendants do that drives you nuts, and wow… you did not hold back. From safety announcements you swear are unintelligible, to overhead bin drama, to call bells, credit card pitches, bad perfume, and everything in between—you told us exactly how you feel, and we’re diving right into it.Of course, it wouldn’t be a Two Guys episode if we didn’t get sidetracked ranting about our own recent flights, telling wild stories from the aisle, and laughing at the absolutely unbelievable stuff people do at 35,000 feet. And yes—we even squeeze in a round of galley gossip that may or may not involve a cowboy hat, Stampede Week, and a full-on swan dive in an airport arrivals hall. Buckle up… this one gets chaotic.Join the conversation over on Threads!Watch this episode on YouTube!Episode Highlights:[0:02] Opening the conversation: what you hate about flight attendants [1:22] Drew’s chaotic week: strollers, messes, and aisle-walking mayhem [4:37] Rich’s “is that the last bag of chips?” galley encounter [6:00] The guy who straight-up ate Drew’s salad [7:10] Your complaints begin: announcements no one can understand [8:54] Half cups of water and why it might be your doing [10:39] Credit card pitches—love them or hate them [12:14] Babies in the aisle and why bumps happen [13:43] Overhead bin accusations: are we lying?
