would you argue with an ignorant flight attendant?

I have seriously wanted to on a couple of occassions, but I don't want my trips interrupted because I need to be interrogated by the TSA or FBI if I did.

I mean seriously.....look cross-eyed at one and it's spotlight-in-your-eyes city with the feds when you land.

Do you frequent flyers find it frustrating?

I've felt this way before, but I exist in such a profound state of terror of authority anyway, that nothing specific about the plane situation makes it that abnormal for me.

I would never argue with anyone who was in a position of authority, though I do sometimes annoy them by constantly asking for extra snacks and beverages (yes I mostly fly internationally - I suppose there is no reason to even speak to the waitresses on domestic flights).

I've never really had any reason to argue with a flight attendant, and I don't really foresee one worth arguing over. So I'll say no, but not out of any worry of being interrogated.

No. They were always nice to me. But I got irked with the security before you get on the plane. I was always mad about that. and each time I would say, "You know I find that offensive that you practically treat my family like they are terroists". They always just said "sorry young lady but you are only 10. we don't need to listen to you".

Argue about what exactly?  That is pretty important.  You will find they dont have a very good sense of humor.  Most work way too many shifts these days.

And deal with WAY too many asshats and often idiotic regulations.


I don't remember the last time I got in an argument with a stranger in public.  Totally not my style.
