A flight attendant with nearly 25 years of experience has revealed the shocking and disgusting things he has encountered while working on flights. In an Ask me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit, the former crew member, who goes by the username ‘Wnflyguy,’ shared his experiences, which included finding used condoms, dirty undergarments, and even used tampons on planes.
When asked about the most disgusting thing he had ever seen on a flight, ‘Wnflyguy’ responded by listing used condoms, nasty underwear (both male and female), and used tampons as some of the disturbing items he had come across during his career.
Another user was curious to know about the worst behavior exhibited by a passenger on a flight, and the flight attendant’s response was even more repulsive. He mentioned instances of passengers fighting as well as defecating and urinating in their seats.
The flight attendant also shared encounters where he had to restrain drunk passengers who were behaving aggressively. These intoxicated individuals would often try to fight with him, spit on him, and engage in various disturbing acts.
Another prevailing issue mentioned by the flight attendant was passengers smoking in the plane lavatory. According to him, this happened at least once a week. In such cases, the airlines would inform the police upon landing.
Despite the grim aspects of the job, the flight attendant acknowledged both the pros and cons. He acknowledged that being a crew member often meant missing out on important events such as family holidays, birthdays, and special occasions. However, he also emphasized the importance of having a supportive partner who understands the challenges that come with the job.
Working as a flight attendant undoubtedly comes with its fair share of shocking and disheartening experiences. From encountering disgusting items like used condoms and soiled undergarments to dealing with unruly passengers, this Reddit AMA has shed light on the often unglamorous side of air travel. As travelers ourselves, it’s essential to remember the importance of respecting not only the cleanliness and hygiene of flights but also the crew members who work tirelessly to ensure our safety and comfort.
