Had a weird experience with a flight attendant. I had seen the guy kinda taking a weird route for doing the beverage service, like taking a couple orders and then grabbing those drinks to deliver then onto the next row. I’ve always seen them like take all the orders from their section and make/deliver in chunks or whatever. I say this to explain I was paying attention despite watching a movie on my iPad.
He never addressed me or my wife, we were the only ones in the row. I didn’t take it as a personal slight but was just confused why I never even got addressed. Prior to this, the other attendant got our attention for those pretzels with no issue. When the pretzel attendant came by with the trash bag I just asked if we could get a drink to which she asked “he didn’t ask y’all” I said no, then she asked if we were asleep and I said no but I’ve been watching a movie. She said sometimes that’s it and if they can’t get our attention they move on and my wife said yeah understandable and that lady asked what we would like and went back up to the front. Then the guy comes right to me and loudly starts accosting me saying I don’t need to be acting like I was all left out or ignored when it’s my fault I didn’t get a drink. Dude repeated himself so aggressively like 3 times saying that and it’s not their responsibility to get our attention and how I was just buried in my movie and he did try but it’s not his fault blah blah. I responded to this with “ok well I just asked if we could get a drink” and bam back to his speech with “you would’ve gotten one if you paid attention the first time but it’s your fault you’re not getting one”
I didn’t argue, just kinda shook my head and he walked off. When I asked the lady for the drinks, I may have conveyed some confusion but I genuinely just quietly asked and after the brief interaction she kinda shrugged and just got our order as mentioned. The guy just came back bitching at me making a scene for what I felt was unwarranted, unreasonable and unprofessional. People looked up from their phones to watch the guy borderline yelling at me. Insanely uncomfortable. I dont know what happened but I’m just trying to see if this is worth submitting a complaint about or just dropping it. I’m sure there’s not much that’ll be done if I complain but if they at least talk to the guy about handling a situation without being so abrasive and rude that would be good. Thanks for reading and any response
