MARCY'S FLIGHT NUN TRAVEL BLOG- INCASE YOU COULD USE A CHUCKLE!

 All of us who have spent much time in the Flying Industry have little funny stories or "oops" moments.  My career was no exception!  Here's just a few!

I was serving water- refilling glasses on a night flight out of Las Vegas.  A gentleman raised his glass for a refill.  As I was pouring he suddenly moved his glass to his lips- before I had finished refilling!  Needless to say, he ended up with a wet lap!! He looked at me and weakly said- "I think I have to pee!" My apologies and his change of cloths straightened out the situation!  Oops!

When panty hose were "new" I had a hard time finding the right fit. On one particular flight I realized that my nylons were wrinkling around my ankles!  I had just served beverages to the cockpit, so closed the door between the passengers and the boarding area and proceeded to work at hiking up my nylons- just to realize that the passenger door had swung open while my dress was hiked up to my waist! I slammed the door shut and gulped! Oh NO!  It took a few minutes for me to regain my composure and walk back down the isle as if nothing had happened!  Embarrassing!!

Back in the day there were no crew meals!  So one of the pilots would go into one of the airports that had a restaurant and get us a hamburger.  I was use to taking a bite of food in between serving passengers. On one particular flight I had served the cabin and brought beverages to the cockpit- just to be told that I had a glob of mustard on the corner of my mouth!  Wonder how long that had been there!! Oh dear!

We had short overnights!  We called them "illegals" because we didn't get a legal rest period.  It sometimes presented a challenge to getting fluffed and puffed in the morning.  One particular flight following a short night the passengers were looking at me a little funny.  Wondering why, I checked the mirror, only to discover I had false eyelashes on just one eye, which made for a rather odd appearance!  Oops! Note to self- check the mirror twice!!

And lastly- On one flight the First Officer went into the airport at one of our stops! The new passengers boarded, but the First Officer did not.  Wondering where he was the Captain asked the agents to try to find him! A bit later the First Officer ran up the stairs rather red faced! As we got ready for take off the First Officer explained!  He had gone to the restroom only to find out after he had finished his "business" that there was no toilet paper!  He waddled from stall to stall with his trousers around his ankles, trying to find some paper- all while praying no one came into the john!  He didn't think it would do well for the Pilot Image!!  Ha! 

There a multitude more, but I'll save them for another time!

Remember, Life Is Indeed An Adventure, And Amusing And Embarrassing Moments Are All Part Of The Journey!
