Why you should not drink on airplanes.
So... get this one.
I am on the plane on Saturday night. It has been a long night. Lots of turbulence. Lots of people starting the party on the plane. Not to mention (this will sound snobby) that I have not worked in the cabin in.... a very long time. I have been living the sheltered life of Club (First Class).
I go to the front of the plane and there is this women talking to one of the Flight Attendants.
She has had a few glasses (too many of wine)
She looks at me and says. "I remember you from last week." And then reaches for my stomach and pats it. "How is the baby?"
Instant terror and shock.
"I'm not pregnant." I reply.
"Yes you are!" she says
"No... You must have me confused with someone else."
"No, I am sure that it is you. If it isn't it is someone who looks just like you. She even has BIG FLUFFY hair. Just like yours."
I looked at her and said "I am leaving. I can't take any more of this."
Moral of the story.
Don't drink (too much) on the airplane. Who knows how you embarass yourself or others.
She did tell the other girls that she was terribly upset. Then I felt like I should tell her that I wasn't upset.
BUT......
In the interest of being true to myslefd and not doing things to please other people, I stood my ground. (That was a big ordeal for me.)
