Bottom 5: 5st of November 2013

At the end of each month I´ll give you a small resume of the top 5 and bottom 5 passengers´ nationalities to work and fly with according to the results of the poll you may find above in this Blog

1) Chinese: yes, they are still there and I had it. Last night flight I saw how a child was peeing inside the puke bag while his mother was holding the bag in her knees and above that the toilets were free, what was her excuse? The “ai dant andarstand” is making me sick because they think that I´m stupid behind my smile but I´m not and the worst of it is that if you put the limit they still “dant adarstand” it and want to get away with “their game”. They are filthy and annoying not only to me but also to other passenger, why? Because they need to shout out when they are talking (that is part of their idiom, they don´t have accents as Spanish or French so they have 5 phonetically chants that when they put emphasis on a word they might be changing the meaning of it). So no, I can´t stand their chant. Not also they seriously don´t want to follow rules but also they don´t care at all for the other. Solidarity? Respect? No, that doesn´t exist in their agenda. So they are filthy, they don´t know what is personal hygiene or grooming, they smell really bad (some not all), they don´t respect rules and they don´t care for the other.

2) Indians: I´m starting to believe that deep inside their genetic strand there is an extra ADN strand for curry. Oh my Lord, they do smell like it. Not also that but for example, when a group of old Indian women are travelling they take their time absolutely for everything, they take so much time that you start to feel suddenly dizzy as you start thinking that the world has turned into slow motion. But then if they have the need to do something fast they are faster than Bolt, also into their own personal convenience. Hygiene? As I said it before and will say it again, culturally speaking for many it´s okay to wash their cloth and bath in a river were corpses float around while they are being eaten by crows, so no, many don´t have a hygiene cultural like I was raised or used to. Personally I can´t blame that, but it´s a shocker when the cabin smells like a fish port blown into the Twilight Zone. Do they care about for the other when someone needs helps or just ask if they mind changing seats? No, they don´t. Seriously speaking in all of my flights I had never ever seen an Indian accepting to swap seats with another passenger. Hurray for their proud, not. 

3) Russians: most of them but not all like to drink, a lot. They like to drink beer as if were to be water and vodka as Coca Cola. Do they come with an extra set of liver at birth? Not only they tend to be problematic passengers due to the booze, but many times they tend to by aggressive towards crew and passenger. Rules? They tend to like only their own and that is a problem when it comes to safety. Not very long time ago my roommate was almost punched by a 30´s something Russian just because she insisted that the passenger needed to fasten his seat belt during descend. Yes, we deal with that. Also, the need to be snobbish due to the new-rich-syndrome is really annoying as some think that crew are just an expandable product without content. There is this proverb from where I come from that says: “if you try to dress with silk a monkey, you will find only a monkey”.

4) Pakistan: yes, most of them are very aggressive people. Men tend to have a serious issue to racism as many times they think they may harass female (or male) crew just because it is fun. Why the need to show that they can be “manly” o “butch” by annoying and making fun of others? Many of my colleagues had serious issues with that Nationality and it´s very hard to set a limit as many times they tend to have more right than crew. We are in the 21 century; do they still have the need to be that kind of people? Not only that but some tend to do what they feel they should do without asking and going against the rules, why? They are bored. Limits-issues, seriously.

5) Spanish: grey zone. This Nationality may be a fun one when it comes to traveling but sometimes they may be annoying. An example that I developed not very long time ago was: Spanish are like the spinster aunt that you only see during Christmas, they are fun at first but then they simply don´t stop talking. Besides that, some tend to over ask constantly everything and need a total full length explanation when it comes to making decisions in wine or food. Nevertheless if they are calm and sooth they are easy going travelers, if not you should be very patient with them.
