I know most of you are pilots, but this is sooo true for us flight attendants...thought it might give you a laugh
You know you've been flying too long when...
1. You can eat a 4 course meal or your Thanksgiving dinner standing at the counter in the kitchen.
2. You reach for your seat belt when you sit on the toilet.
3. You look for the "crew line" at the grocery store.
4. You can pack for a 4-week trip to Europe in 1 roll-aboard and 1 piece of hand luggage.
5. You can sleep sitting bolt upright in a chair-- any chair, anywhere.
6. You NEVER unpack.
7. You can recognize pilots by the backs of their heads-- but not by their faces.
8. You can tell 70 yards away if a piece of luggage can fit in the overhead bin.
9. You are amazed how male passengers cannot figure out how to rearrange items so that more things can easily be fit into the overhead bin.
(Maybe if they would load the dishwasher more?)
10. You NEVER hear announcements the pilots make-- if they want you to know something, they must call on the inter phone and tell you personally.
11. You can tie a neck scarf 36 ways.
12. You know at least 63 uses for airsickness containers-- none of which pertain to vomit.
13. You can actually enjoy a crew meal eaten on the jump seat right next to the lavs-- which are in constant use.
14. You understand and actually use the 24-hour clock.
15. You can get more therapy from conversations on the jump seat than you can from your $150 an hour psychologist.
16. You can follow the plot line of a movie without ever hearing the audio portion.
