One said that they hated passengers not acknowledging them properly and claimed some people take their anger out on the cabin crew for things out of their control.

"Please and thank you. If you order coffee tell me exactly how you want it made.

Another simply requested that their passengers be hygienic before getting on the plane, saying: ";Bathe before coming on board."
