If you’ve ever felt like a flight attendant gave you a look… yeah, there’s probably a reason.
A group of flight attendants were asked to share the passenger behaviors they automatically judge, and let’s just say — some people turn into full-grown toddlers at 35,000 feet. Here are a few things that instantly put you on their naughty list 📝👇
🚫 Poking flight attendants
Do. Not. Do. This. One attendant said being poked to get their attention is an instant judgment call. Words work. Use them.
🛟 Forgetting their actual job
Flight attendants aren’t just there to hand you snacks. Food and drinks are a courtesy. Their real job is safety and security — not being your personal waiter.
🚽 Using the bathroom the second you board
They just watched you sit at the gate for 20 minutes. The timing isn’t fooling anyone.
🧼 Bad hygiene
This one came up a LOT. If the person next to you can’t breathe because of your body odor, that’s a problem. Shower. Deodorant. Please.
🗑️ Leaving gross trash behind
Used tissues, gum, Q-tips, bandages?! Flight attendants say this is absolutely disgusting. Trash goes in the bag, not on the floor.
🛒 Blocking the aisle with the beverage cart out
Waiting until the cart is fully deployed to run to the bathroom is peak chaos energy.
🌪️ Standing during turbulence
If the seatbelt sign is on, sit down. Period.
🎒 Taking overhead bin space for tiny items
If it fits under the seat, it belongs under the seat. Bin hogs are judged harshly.
🔔 Abusing the call button
Pressing it for silly reasons — like handing over trash right after the crew walked by — is a no.
🍺 Drunk passengers
Self-explanatory. No one wants to babysit a grown adult in the sky.
👶 Parents ignoring unruly kids
Flight attendants say refusing to parent your child is an instant red flag.
🤧 Flying sick without any precautions
If you’re sick, at least try. Wear a mask. Take medicine. Don’t cough on everyone like it’s 2019.
💩 Changing diapers on tray tables
One attendant called this “absolutely diabolical.” Hard to argue.
👑 Entitlement in all forms
The attitude. The demands. The eye-rolling. All judged.
💳 Bragging about your status
They already know. And according to them… they don’t care.
So next time you fly, remember: the flight attendants see everything 👀✈️And yes — they are absolutely judging you.
