A flight attendant has left the internet astonished by revealing some of the “disgusting” incidents he has witnessed during his 25-year career with a major US airline. The anonymous crew member recently conducted an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, divulging several NSFW (not safe for work) stories.
When asked about the most repulsive thing he has ever seen on a flight, he shared encounters with “used condoms, nasty underwear (male and female), and used tampons.” Additionally, he pointed out that disobedient passengers contribute significantly to the stress experienced by flight attendants.
Reflecting on these incidents, the flight attendant disclosed catching people attempting to smoke in the lavatory every week. Regarding disruptive drunk passengers, he mentioned encountering one roughly every six months, with the frequency varying based on the cities they fly into. For instance, he noted higher occurrences in Las Vegas, where many inebriated individuals attempt to board flights.
When a Reddit user inquired about any involvement with a passenger or coworker during or after work hours, the flight attendant responded, “Passenger, yes. Other crew… I’ve had offers but nope.”
However, the most distressing experiences in his job involve witnessing passengers engaging in inappropriate activities such as “fighting, sh–ting, or p–sing” in their seats.
