Thread: Most Embarrassing Moment

So go on then; beat that!

I want to cringe in my chair! So it's your turn!

No I told mine above, but I just read this which I thought could have caused a few people to be red faced.


Virgin Atlantic cabin crew face the sack after sending an alleged foul message to passengers' TV screens. Flight staff had intended to wake sleeping colleagues by sending a private message to their screens, The Sun reports.

However, the words ‘Get up, you c***s' is believed to have accidently appeared on all premium economy monitors during a flight from Orlando, Florida to Glasgow instead.

The Sun alleges an insider said passengers complained the whole way home and some are seeking refunds and compensation.

"Something went wrong and the message was sent to the whole cabin. It looks like the two crew members will be sacked, as well as the flight manager," the insider told The Sun.

OMG!!! How awful for the staff. I agree with the public comments - passengers should have taken it with a pinch of salts

Yes but you know what some people are like, they will be suing them for stress next.

I know - selfish tw*ts

There is a time and place for such actions, and I think a plane is fine. When you get on a plane, it's as if you and everyone around you are all embarking on a voyage together. I know that sounds obvious, but think about the wording.

A flight for at least 7 hours (Virgin Atlantic to NY is about 7 hours, the longest it can be is about 12/13 hours to California) is a long time to be sitting in a tube with about 200 - 300 people. So what's wrong with introducing a bit of a "human" touch to the whole thing? If that were me, I would have enjoyed that wake up call. I can understand why some people may not have liked it, but come on! Would you complain if you saw some people working in a restaurant or café larking about for brief moments during their 8 hour shift? Granted they won't write "C**t" in your food, but to maintain such a professional demeanour for such a long time is impossible.

Plus the passengers were, in the main, asleep. So they were quite unlucky that the message was seen.

Thats so funny

On the subject of the C word, i think i might be banned from my local because i let off a few after some dope told my ol' man to shut the F up because he was doing his Frank Sinatra routine. A few tourists got up and walked out because of my language and the land lady wasn't too happy with me (apparently)
