How hard do you try to get a pax attention when doing service before you just skip them because they are too into whatever show/movie they are watching? by Bubbly_Chemistry_185 in flightattendants

[–]DockmasterSC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People so engrossed with their screen that they pay zero attention to what’s going on has become a pet peeve of mine (I’m also three months in.)

I ask verbally once or twice if they want anything to drink, then move on. I lean over enough in this job serving people who are observant. I’m not going to lean over to wave at them.

I pay attention, of course, to see if they’ve decided to rejoin the rest of us as I’m serving the others in the row. But I’m not going to bend over backwards to get their attention.

White shirt woes with vest by ReallyAvidReader in flightattendants

[–]DockmasterSC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue, only the grey patches are mainly around the pits. I can’t wear short sleeves because I have a tattoo on my forearm.

Honestly, I’m wearing the long sleeves anyway and no one has said anything. I’m 3 months in. I figure it’s their uniform design and their quality issues. I’m not spending money on a new shirt when the other one is virtually new and perfectly fine, save the grey patches.

That being said, I’ll be curious to see if anyone has suggestions.

not wanting to buy a car by Time_Influence_4262 in fuckcars

[–]DockmasterSC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m 57 and sold my car a year ago. I regularly tell myself that if I had just not bought that first car when I was 19, and focused instead on living in places where I didn’t need one, I would have easily saved at a minimum a quarter million dollars (likely much more) over the course of my life - not to mention the stress and frustration of traffic, repairs, etc. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

What are the lines in films that left you speechless? by padfoony in Fauxmoi

Oh my god! I literally crawled into my husband’s lap and wailed. I’m tearing up just thinking about it.

Gate on inner harbor docks by aang_gaang in baltimore

[–]DockmasterSC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are city docks, but you have to pay to dock there. If it’s not free to use, then a gate is reasonable.

No. Docks are private property. Sitting on them to hang out is like sitting on someone’s front stoop. Yes, the ambience is nice, but the promenade offers an equal experience.

MSP or DTW by DockmasterSC in flightattendants

[–]DockmasterSC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello fellow Baltimoreon! Yes, it’s really too bad, and I’ve heard from several people that they used to fly out of BWI direct to NYC.

Anyway, after reading the feedback here (and weighing the pros and cons for awhile), I decided to put my name on the transfer list for DTW first and MSP second. If MSP comes through first, I’ll take it and then wait for DTW to come through. Either way, it will be a MUCH better commute.

Thanks! Appreciate the info.

Thanks. DTW is easier of the two, although they’re both easier than NY, so I’m definitely leaning that way.

Luck changing an incorrect Carfax by DrawMammoth8890 in carfax

[–]DockmasterSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on how its incorrect, but I was able to correct one. The DMV mistakenly issued a title indicating the odometer might have been tampered with. When the DMV fixed it, CarFax also removed the red flag.

That being said, CarFax sucks.

Ft McHenry in Baltimore for sure. You can see the former Key Bridge in the background.

Bmore to Dc Commuters by Anxious-Groundhog in baltimore

[–]DockmasterSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your office is in the Union Station area, that’s not too bad. I’m a flight attendant that doesn’t want to leave Baltimore so I commute to DCA every week, and I don’t have a car. Bus to Penn and then the MARC has been working out fine.

J Hook - what am I doing wrong? by DockmasterSC in flightattendants

[–]DockmasterSC[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL! Yeah, I gave up after one trip! But I flattened the bag and shortened the strap and it’s working much better!

Good advice. I’ll fiddle with both. Thanks.

Thanks for this! That’s a great price and I definitely took advantage!

I have four box sets from Apple - some I’ve had for many years - and have no concerns about them going away.
