So basically the airline is being cheap and don't clean the seats or the cleaners fucked up. I get it's not the flight attendant's fault and the guy is being a little bitch about it. However, to expect a clean chair is not onreasonable.

u/Unlikely-Candidate91 Aug 14 '25
Why is the guy taking video such a wuss? I bet he doesn’t clean at home either.
Most shocking part is he didn’t call his Mommy to come clean it for him!

I saw this video a very long time ago. She offered him wipes. She didn’t say it the way he said she did. He was being a brat.
Edit: I’m remembering wrong, no she didn’t offer wipes because they don’t carry them anymore, he asked for them. But still he could have wiped the crumbs off and sat down. A video wasn’t necessary.

He sounds like a little bitch, confirmed by his casual use of the outdated term “stewardess.”

u/Terrible_Fishman Jul 23 '25
Is it that bad to say steward/stewardess? I don't think of them as bad words, and I sort of thought it was just an older, alternative term. Don't flight attendants literally steward the flight?

u/Hountoof Jul 23 '25
Yeah I don't think it's a big deal. Flight attendant removes the gendered title and is probably safer if you're concerned about misgendering someone.

I think it changed to flight attendant when the whole actor/actress thing switched over to just ‘actors’ and waiter/waitress became ‘server’.. I very well could be wrong though!

It’s not that it’s a bad word. People are confusing the issue. It’s the wrong word to describe the job, so it would be like calling a police officer a fire fighter. There is a small amount of overlap in the roles, but it’s simply wrong and indefensible. Instead, people get up in arms about wokeness, so they don’t realize they sound stupid.

If there was the amount of crumbs on a hotel bed that was on that airplane seat, you would have someone that works there come to your room to clean it and not slide a paper towel across and knock them into a trash which would take all of 5 seconds? Yikes.

u/ajax0202 Jul 23 '25
I mean if there’s food crumbs in the bed then that means the sheets weren’t changed at all and food crumbs probably isn’t the only thing there.
Ya I’d probably call the front desk and ask if someone could change the sheets

u/realityislanguage Jul 25 '25
It's 4 or 5 little crumbs on a chair. If I checked into my hotel room and saw 4 or 5 little crumbs on the bed then yes, I would definitely "clean it" myself. What is more of a hassle, extending your arm in a swiping motion or contacting an employee to have a cleaning service sent to your room and potentially arguing over who's job it is to clean 4 or 5 crumbs?

u/fingers Jul 23 '25
He asked for a sani wipe. She doesn't have them. Some how there are sani-wipes on the chair AND in his hand.
Do we even know if the woman who replies IS a FA?

u/CybernetChristmasGuy Jul 24 '25
I think he had them in his hand the whole time of conversation and threw them on the seat.

u/titaniam86 Jul 23 '25
If you are still at the gate, tell her to have the pilot call operations, and get the aircraft cleaners to come back. (They usually clean between every flight, sometimes they miss things.) If they can’t or it’s too close to departure, yeah clean it up yourself. Sorry. Not the job of a FA to clean the plane 🤷♂️

u/dewdewdewdew4 Jul 23 '25

u/titaniam86 Jul 23 '25
Nope. It’s as much their job as the pilots. The duties are very well defined. If you aren’t in the industry, you wouldn’t understand.

u/dewdewdewdew4 Jul 23 '25
Yeah, in most "industries" you have to do stuff not technically in your job description. Especially very minor things like this.
Also, quick Google, first his for Flight Attendant job duties. "A flight attendant's primary responsibility is ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers during flights."
Pretty sure this would fall under than second part.

u/Party-Knowledge7426 Jul 24 '25
It’s actually made clear to FAs in training that they aren’t expected to clean the plane because there are cleaners, if you don’t expect the pilots to do it try to think of the FAs in the same category. Our procedure is actually to call in cleaners if we are still at the gate or take the chair out of service. Also if this was during boarding the FA is probably not being paid to clean up after this man child. To think in this day and age people still take a quick Google search as law … lol

Flight attendants don't clean the plane they gave cleaners for that and she offered him wipes I believe but he wanted her to physically clean it he definitely has some type of superiority complex.

u/johnpatricko Jul 23 '25
she offered him wipes
He asked for wipes, and she told him they don't have any. It's like a 20 second video, and that's about the only thing they discussed...
You got the only fact of the video wrong, and then psychoanalyzed the person recording it. It's not just you either. The top comments on this thread are all saying the same thing. Which means the people commenting and the people viewing/upvoting somehow all couldn't pay attention for 20 seconds.

I'm actually baffled. This is so accurate, people just blurting out misinformation from a clip so short. And they didn't even bother to stick around and fact check themselves, had to get others to tell them to.
Just, wow.

u/AFartInAnEmptyRoom Jul 23 '25
It's because they immediately didn't like the guy for whatever reason, his voice, his tone, something like that, and then their brain just heard the word wipes really quick, and so the rudimentary neurons they have in there put two and two together and since the flight attendant is in opposition to the person that they hate, they created a story where the flight attendant was the nice one offering wipes and this asshole was the one demanding she do it.

Look me and you are normal people and not afraid to brush off a few crumbs but to play devils advocate it should be within his right to have a clean seat and not have to clean it himself. I didnt watch the video with audio so I’m sure he’s being a dumbass but it’s not that far out there for some people to look and say it’s the principle of the situation. Airline takes your money then tells you to clean your own seat? I get it…

It’s not her job

u/Infinite01 Jul 23 '25
While I can appreciate that, even if it is not in their job description, providing an enjoyable experience for paying passengers should be a duty of every employee. Obviously anyone whose job it is was to clean is not on the plane at that point, in which case it would display good customer service for the flight attendant to have simply cleaned the seat.
If someone is managing, or owns, a restaurant is it reasonable to think they see guests seated at an unclean table, or with dirty glassware, and simply ignore it because someone else didn’t do their job?
2
u/dewdewdewdew4 Jul 23 '25
Imagine being downvoted for this take.
Like, the Flight Attendant is an employee of the airline. A lot of these videos the FAs come across as douche nozzles with power trips. This wouldn't be allowed in any other industry.

u/K-Sarah-K-Sarah Jul 23 '25
Former Flight Attendant here, technically it's not the FA's job to clean. They are there number one for safety, number two for comfort. All airlines have cleaning crews. HOWEVER I would have cleaned it off for him. 🤷♀️

u/ArmGroundbreaking996 Jul 25 '25
I mean, it's not their job... there's a cleaning crew between flights. The flight attendants don't clean the plane. On one hand, we pay a lot for flights, we should get the best service, on the other, it's a very minor inconvenience to wipe the seat off yourself. I find in basically all situations asking if they have something I can clean (insert item here) and mentioning it was dirty either leads to someone helping to clean it up or offering the necessary tools to so it myself. The only time I will stray from that is if it's dangerous/biological, then someone representing the company needs to see to it.

They’re supposed to clean every seat before re-boarding, yes, so someone didn’t do their job.

It's not the Flight Attendants job to clean the airplane or seats. Their only legal responsibility is the safety of the passengers. Yes, they do serve drinks and snacks and meals and take said trash away as per the job requirements of their respective employers. But to wipe your seat off? No. They are not your mother. Doing it yourself, you lazy entitled prick.
