In the story we have for you guys today, Reddit user Flyron-Fist, a flight attendant, shared an amusing encounter that took place at RSW Airport. While grabbing a coffee in her uniform, OP was approached by a woman asking for directions to a smoking area. Unsure of the airport’s layout, OP suggested a possible location, only to be met with frustration from the woman. After clarifying that flight attendants are not airport employees and consulting the barista, they discovered the smoking area was just a short distance away.

Despite the polite explanation, the woman was annoyed and walked off, leaving OP

1. Two very different positions that must not be confused.

2. OP is a flight attendant. The incident took place while she was waiting for her coffee at the RSW Airport.

3. While waiting, a woman approached OP asking where the smoking area was. OP guided her to one that she knew of.

4. The lady said the area was too far for her to walk to and that OP must guide her to one that was near.

5. The lady began getting frustrated as OP clarified she was a flight attendant and not an airport employee who could’ve easily guided her.

6. As OP’s coffee arrived, she asked the barista about the smoking area and he guided her to one that was just fifty feet away.

7. Despite having found a smoking area just a few steps away, the lady was still angry at OP for guiding her to a farther one in the first place.

8. As the annoyed, entitled lady walked off for a smoke, OP and the barista, feeling confused, had a good laugh at the situation.

Imagine if the entitled lady had started the conversation with, “Excuse me? Are you an airport employee?”. OP would’ve said, “No, I am a flight attendant.”. The matter would have needed there and then, with the woman walking away to look for an airport employee and OP enjoying her coffee. I don’t know what it is with these entitled people who feel like they are being attacked if their request/demand is not fulfilled. OP guided the lady to a smoking area she knew of. That was the best she could’ve done. If the lady wasn’t satisfied, she should’ve simply approached someone else, like the barista who guided her to a closer smoking area.

When will entitled people ever learn…I don’t think that time is anywhere near.

15. It is commendable that OP smiled through the whole event.

16. I swear. Everyone pays for the seat. What is the entitlement for, then?

17. I think their name tags should be modified to “Flight Attendant, not Airport Guide.”

18. Unfortunately, her coffee was yet to arrive.

19. That Karen of a woman deserves a layover at LAX.

20. It would have been such a headache for the flight attendants had such crew lounges not existed.

I don’t think “mistaking” a person for someone else should be considered a “mistake.”. Humans have brains. An organ that they can use to easily evaluate who they are communicating to. Karens mistaking customers for employees is a bunch of BS. That is because you can easily ask who the person is before communicating with them. The lady could’ve asked OP if she was an airport employee before asking where the smoking area was. But she didn’t. She assumed. That’s what puts her in the wrong. Anything said or done beyond that point goes against that lady automatically.

I really hope you guys enjoyed this one. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
