To help you appreciate the staff more on your next flight, here’s 25 Unbelievable And Bizarre Stories From Flight Attendants.

Casually lighting up a drug pipe. First of all, it’s no smoking, at all, on airplanes. Secondly, drugs are bad, mmmmkay? Third, REALLY? You’re trapped in a box of recirculated air, and you’re lighting up drugs?

It’s not particularly bizarre, as everyone dies, but it’s a little stressful when people die on an airplane. The poor flight attendants then have to figure out what to do with such a person – respectfully. Some airlines carry body bags, some have a special compartment should such an incident occur, and some simply move them to first class, kindly tuck a blanket around them, and strap them in if there’s no place else to put them.

Sometimes people have mental breakdowns. Sometimes these happen on airplanes. And at least once, someone had a mental breakdown before the plane took off, called 911, told everyone she was an American being held against her will and that the plane was about to take off for another country. Turns out she was just crazy.

On a flight to Australia, a Rugby team rented out the entire first class cabin. Then after the flight was underway, they proceeded to strip down to their undershorts. Perfectly pleasant and respectful, athletic passengers, in their undershorts.
