Flight Attendants have to deal with some strange, and wildly entitled people, but they're put in an interesting position of power with the ability to control someone's entire travel experience. That means we get tales like this flight attendant who handily dealt with a problem flyer and this tumblr thread of a flight attendant's wildest stories. This particular flight attendant said "screw it" and watched the fallout of playing a plane crash movie during a flight.

We're talking a flight that charges just around $31K per person. Now THAT is a different level of lavish insanity.
If you half-ass some oversized luggage into an overhead bin, bully a flight attendant and then remain totally noncompliant while they try to solve your issue, don't be surprised if they pull a power move on you. Most customers have a some decent idea of how not to be a bad person, but horrible customers will lie to scam companies out of washing machines, and even mistake bystanders for employees. For those having to deal with the customer service life, here are some too-relatable customer service memes.

It takes a village to teach a kid some good cussin'. After this dad left his 5-year-old kid unsupervised for the duration of a 14-hour flight, the dude actually sitting next to the kid took it upon himself to do some parenting on his behalf. You gotta learn your swear words somehow. We've seen questionable parenting like this mom who wanted to let her kid try the hottest hot sauce or these weird punishments in general.

Director Vincent Peone, got to enjoy a private jet like experience when he defied the odds and ended up being the only passenger aboard a Delta flight from Aspen, Colorado to Salt Lake City, Utah. Peone managed to document his bizarre and hilarious experience, and at one point captures some of the crew members loading up a ton of sand bags to add weight to the plane, because he was the only passenger on board!

United Airlines cannot catch a fucking break this week, dude. As the utter PR catastrophe that was Dr. Dao being forcibly removed from a flight (suffering concussion/other injuries in the process) unfolds, seemingly destined to only get worse...they get stung with this nightmare. Bruh. You can't have locked and loaded scorpions falling from overhead storage areas on your flights. Sure, this kind of madness probably pops up every now and again; but I can't think of a worse time for the company. Truly.

If you're having trouble, the flight attendant's announcement was "The captain cannot take off when we have ice on the wings, and we don't want to die."
Passenger Ella Ryan, posted to Instagram her account of the chaotic travel delays, "This is what happens when you've been delayed almost 8 hours, everyone's at a lost including staff 'we don't want to die' absolute mayhem. All hell was breaking loose when a member of staff made this outrageous announcement."
She also revealed passengers were "continuously receiving inconsistent reasons for the delay" and were only given a £3.50 ($7.20) voucher. You'd think after 8 hours they'd get a full refund.
The discount airline Ryanair responded with only a statement of, "We will be speaking to the crew member involved and apologize for the regrettable comment she made in the heat of the moment".
