A f ormer flight attendant has shared why she hates it when passengers gather in the galley.
Cabin crew members tend to know the ins and outs of air travel, and are always full of helpful tips. This includes things that you should never do, such as resting your head on a plane window and drinking plane coffee.
Some may find that they are unwittingly making a cabin crew member's job more difficult than it has to be, reports the Daily Star. Madeline Forsyth, a former flight attendant, revealed one of her pet peeves when she was working 35,000ft in the air.
She told Narcity that she hates it when passengers decide to relax and linger around in a plane's galley. This is the area where the crew store the food and drink, sit down and eat their own meals.
It’s a slightly larger section of the plane – usually by the lavatory – where it may feel better to stretch your legs. But, congregating in the area can mean you get in the way of the workers doing their jobs.
She explained: "It's okay to stand up and stretch, especially during long flights, but if you're loitering in the galley area for long periods of time, it will make things difficult for the flight attendants."
Fellow flight attendants also shared their biggest pet peeves when working on Reddit.
One cabin crew worker said: "Drunk People. All drunk people after take-off are horrible, until they pass out. Then they just smell."
Someone replied to her: "Never understood why people choose to drink when they're trapped with no where to go, and not much to do for several hours, thousands of feet up in the air, crammed in next to complete strangers."
