Trash, & COCK(tails)......

Today I had the pleasure of flying into our Nation's capital (DC's Reagan National) to sit around for almost 3 hours (as scheduled) before flying back out.  It was lunch hour so we hit the Food Court to set up camp. I spotted a clean table and snatched it up.....but not without incident. 

What I witness shocked & disgusted me.  Someone left trash on the table next to the one we were about to sit at. [rude btw- clean your crap up!] A woman wanted to sit there so she began moving the trash to the table we were clearly about to sit down at.  

I said to her "Ma'am there is a trash-can right over there." She responds "It's not my trash."  

Oh okay....so you don't want someone's trash on your table but you think the people serving you drinks later do?!  Okay I'll throw it away, but I promise to not wash my hands (not really bc that's gross) before serving you your seltzer with lime- no ice. 

And for the grand Finale: Cocktail Mixup......You won't want to stop reading about this moment of "She said what?!" during the beverage service.

To preface this.....I always make it a habit of repeating drink orders back to the passenger to help me remember what they want so I don't make an ass of myself when I bring a water to someone who asked for Orange Juice. Enjoy:

Flying B: Sir, Can I offer you a beverage?

Passenger: Cock(tail)

Flying B: I'm sorry sir, I can't hear you. What would you like?

Passenger: Cock(tail) please.

Flying B: A Cock sir?....[shit I just said that out loud]....Did you mean Coke or Cocktail sir?

Passenger: I like a Cock(tail)

Flying B: Sir, I'm so sorry but I am not understanding what you are asking for. Are you asking for a soda?

Passenger: I like a cock(tail). Any kinds.

Flying B: Okay. So you would like a drink with alcohol in it....like vodka? or something else?

Passenger: Yes. Any kinds you bring me.

That was painful....I proceeded to ask him if he wanted a Soda or Juice kind of mixed drink and he said Juice- any kind and surprise him. Mixed up my specialty: OJ + CranApple and vodka....delicious. Poor guy wasn't loud enough on the most crucial part of Cocktail (okay that might be subjective) and but I was mortified that I repeated back to him "A Cock" just like I would have for "A water no ice? Sure I'll be right back with that.".....un.pro.fessional!

There you have it....Untreasured Trash.....and COCKtails.
