Lightning storms
Flight attendants find thunderstorms and turbulence awful. “[One time] on the approach to Denver we were struck by lightning. It was the loudest sound I’ve ever heard on a flight,” wrote a Redditor.
“I was on a Boeing 727 with a flight attendant friend on the back jumpseat and all the passengers turned to look at us,” she explained. “We were hugging each other and crying, which, as it turns out, only makes the passenger panic a thousand times worse. The plane was fine and we landed safely.”

I can relate to the issues flight attendants face. They have a massive responsibility to protect passengers and courtesy should be given them. I used to do air rescue and people don’t realize the fear and emotion I felt when a rescue mission was called. The flight attendants face long hours from home and a normal social life isn’t likely. They would rather have a respectable friend on their flights and that means a lot more than people could ever know. I would want them to be a true friend regardless of their work because they may be the one who saves your life and it can be at a terrible expense. So when you fly be courteous, respectful, and polite. Those simple things means a lot.
