Did I do something or was it her?

Question

This is what happened. I was the last one to arrive since I missed my last flight and was coming in to the plane late. I was carrying a big heavy bag and I was not dressed for airlines was wearing jeans and shirt. But in very good condition since all my clothes are that way. Anyhow, the idea is that the attendant was rude. She didn't speak to me. She said "Stauffer?". I didn't know what they where and I said, "What are those?". Her face showed displeasure, and handed me a packet of cookies. I felt awfull because I felt I did something wrong. I only tried to ask her what they where. It was a simple question. Wasn't even trying to make conversation. It was nothing like that. But she took it the wrong way, and she came back a second time in a while later and said "Blanket?". I said "Yes" lowly and felt a little scolded. I felt like she didn't want me to look at her when she was describing the weather, and also when I was getting off the plain she didn't want to make eye contact.

Answer 1

I don't think you did anything wrong. MAybe something had happened a little earlier that upset her, or maybe she was just PMS-ing. Whatever it was, don't stress about it.

Answer 2

She could of just had a bad day? Even so, she shouldnt have treated you that way. It was'nt your fault. The way you responded was very classy on your part. You didnt give no attitude and kept your composure which i find very impressive. I wish there were more people like you in this world, it would be much more pleasent!

Answer 3

You did nothing wrong. You sound intelligent and articulate. The lady was just plain rude. Something about you must have set her off. Maybe she was jealous of something. You shouldn't have acted lowly at all! That is what she wanted. Just be assertive and believe in yourself. Don't let idiots like this lady get you down! They take some kind of weird happiness by being rude to those they know are good people!

Answer 4

Are you sure she was really scolding you?  It sounds to me like she treated you like flight attendants generally treat people: she gave you cookies and a blanket.  I've never tried to make eye contact while leaving a plane, but I imagine it'd be hard because the people greet a new person each second as they leave.  Also, what could she have possibly done while describing the weather to make you feel like she didn't want you looking?   Maybe you were feeling bad for being late and projecting your feelings onto her.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Answer 9

She was probably just in a bad mood. You didn't do anything wrong.

Answer 10

u shouldnt feel bad she was proably having a bad day. and trying to take it out on other ppl. but dont worry not all flight attendents are like that some when having good days well be realy nice. she proably just hates her job. lol bye <3

Answer 11

From your description of what happened, I think she was "off" because it was her job to be friendlier, but you were also overly sensitive.

Answer 12

it was her

Answer 13

I agree, it was her.  Maybe she was having a bad day, or a bad week, or a bad month, or a bad year or maybe a bad life.  I like being really super nice to people like that.  I find that the nicer I am the more ticked off they get.  It's like they are miserable and they want every one else to be miserable with them.  (Misery loves company as they say.)

Answer 14

snoooooty beotch, stauffer....really? Gimme the d**n cookies!

Answer 15

I tell you flight attendants need to go through customer service training.  They are getting worse every time I fly.  We had to fill out questionnaires one flight because it would help them in giving better service; I asked for a pen since I had stowed away my purse and no one was sitting near me.  The attendant gave me the dirtiest look and just walked away.  She never brought back a pen.  I would have critiqued the rude flight attendant... if I had A PEN! It's very frustrating when you pay that much money for a flight and get treated like you're an animal.  I would have said something to her, many people don't and this lets the person continue to be angry with customers.  I think if it's brought to their attention they might make an effort to be happier during the next flight.

Answer 16

Eh, she sounded foreign so i dont know? Probabley her!

Answer 17

She was probably just having a bad day, don't take it personal.  Doesn't sound to me like you did anything wrong but they have to deal with all different kinds of people and maybe somebody did do something to her and you just got the backlash.  Your post sounds nice so I don't believe you did anything rude.

Answer 18

she was rude  ,you can complain to the airline

Answer 19

She was just being rude and weird.  Don't worry about it.  Some people are just like that.
