Do you think flight attendants are rude? Please explain why or why not. If you are a flight attendant, tell me why you act the way you do. I think for the most part, they are very rude and short with people and I don't like it.

I remember when my son and I were on a plane going to London he had to use the bathroom. So we stood by the bathroom door and waited. A flight attendant told us we had to sit down to wait. Then someone else got up and stood there, getting the toilet before us. The attendant didn't say a thing to him. She was rude. Another time when my husband and I were coming home from our honeymoon and we were sitting right near first class. The attendant treated us with first class service when she found out where we were coming from. She was kind.

I make at least 6 international flights each year and I have never come across a rude flight attendant. Perhaps they are polite to me because I'm polite to them.
-
Only rarely. Most of the times the flight attendants I meet are pleasant people doing quite a hard job and being kind. I don't envy them.

You shouldn't generalize like that. Some are rude and some are nice.
-
it actually depends on the way you treat others. i can be rude to a flight attendent and she will be rude back. if im not rude then they treat me nicely. if they are rude to you mabey you should check your attitude and behavior cause it could have something to do with it.

I fly about twice a month and it's been about two years since I've run into a truly rude flight attendant.

I find them to be pleasant and helpful. I had a poster board sign I took to a conference some time ago. It wouldn't fit in the overhead and the attendant let me put it in their luggage space. (Comming home I had to talk another one into letting me use their space. Not rude just protective) I don't think you could even be rude SBJ!

I think you are no doubt rude to them first. Flight Att.are dealing with 100's of people a day. Most of them are not nice. If you are polite to them i know they go out of their way to return the favor. Do you think they were rude because, they would not stow your bag for you, or put you in a seat that you wanted. Was it because they would not give you something for free or you wanted an answer to a question that they did not have the answer to? Because,for some that makes them rude.

I am a flight attendant, and I do my best to not only be courteous but to be friendly to my pax. Sometimes I may be short when I'm in a hurry to get the flight out on time, but I always says please and thank you. When a pax is rude to me, I see that as a green light to give them attitude right back. I don't have time for people to give me lip about their purse, cell phone, or dog. When I tell you to do something, I expect you to do it, especially since you are legally obligated to. I deal with hundreds of pax a day who can't find their seat when it's clearly labeled, who leave their trash in the seat (no matter how many times I walk through with a trash bag), and who give me crap for trying to do MY job. Our days are incredibly long, our pay is incredibly low, and our pax are incredibly cantankerous, however, most of us still love our jobs. So when an FA is not as perky and jolly as you would like him or her to be, maybe try being extra nice with a big smile and a genuine please and thank you; you'd be surprised how our attitude changes, especially towards you.

I have never had one rude to me personally, either in pilot uniform, or not. Probably part of the reason is that many old-timers have taken about a 35% pay cut!
