Please don’t be this guy

Sometimes the sense of entitlement people show when travelling astounds me.

After boarding a Cathay Pacific flight, the older gentleman sitting in front of me in Economy flagged down a cabin crew member and simply said “You normally give me a bottle of Evian”. No please, no thank you, just passive aggressiveness to the crew member who then went and got him a bottle of water with a restrained smile.

For goodness sake, there are better ways to ask if you want something!

This guy didn’t even drink the water.

I once witnessed a bogan on a BKK-MEL TG flight, when the crew said we only had this one meal option left, he went ‘nah, I don’t want that cough’, ‘you got any other grub’ . Felt like I was in some outback QLD pub.

The politeness from the TG attendant made me realise they see this rubbish so too often.

I’m sure there are many DPS JQ stories out there.
