I sit in a aeroplane for 8 hours?
Why is it I always lie and say, "Yes, thank you"
Answers:
because you are polite i do it aswell,,
Because the airhostess smiled at you.
ask for a questionnaire when they hand then out and tell them exactly how much you enjoyed your flight! I dont get any feedback from doing this but it does make me feel a little better.
Maybe because your a people pleaser!
because it's not her fault. I know, It's actually awful whenever I apologise for something that isn't my fault, I always find myself mentally kicking myself - you should see the bruises!
because u must be a coping person
why did you watch half a film - you were on the plane for 8 hours - must have been a long film eh?
i know the feeling, dont you just love them hostesses, i hate flying anyway!
BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT TO GET OFF THE FLIGHT AS SOON AS YOU CAN AND DON'T WANT TO CAUSE A CONFLICT OR DELAY EVER THING ELSE. IF YOU SAID SOME THING ELSE YOU WOULD HAVE MADE A SCENE AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO DO IT OR BEEN SEEN DOING IT.
Basic manners. Good to have, but sometimes pointless. Perhaps the honest answer would be "not really, but that's not your fault, so thanks anyway" with smile - after all, it isn't the cabin crew's fault that planes and their food are crappy and they do do their best to make it bearable (usually). It's a bit like when someone says "hi, how are you?", we always say "fine thanks" even if we aren't. Good old social standards.
The poor hostess is not responsible for the annoyances and inconveniences of flying. She wishes it could be a more comfortable experience also. The pleasantries just acknowledge that you both survived the trip without losing the ability to exchange common courtesies during the disembark phase.

Because if you wanted to moan about the food or the fat man and the baby crying you should have said something at the time.
It's called manners. maybe Americans do owe more to the English than they like to think, although you are usually a liitle more forward.
English people will never complain about a meal in a restaurant, when asked how is your meal, we'll always say 'lovely, thanks' even though it's horrible, cold and tastes of sh*t.
But we'll then go and tell all our friends never to eat there!
One "de-planes" an aircraft, and the air is not recycled, it is in fact changed every two minutes.
Message to the other participants: don't bother giving thoughtful answers to any of Tim T's questions, because he'll give his best answers to candypants anyway, and viceversa (check the scores of both).
Sorry, guy, this is called cheating.
u cant be bothered to say anything else!
maybe it's not a lie.Maybe you are a masochistic person and in fact had a good flight.
Wow, it sounds like you had a great flight. Should have been with me when we had a bird strike, a controlled crash and no need for body bags. Man I miss those days of excitement, spinning propellers, engine fires and an occasional engine falling off the aircraft, yep right into the Pacific Ocean. Oh yeah, and wind shear and micro bursts will give you an adrenalin rush too.
Seriously, I have had those experiences but like you the most miserable time I ever spent in an aircraft was waiting while Customs inspectors got their act together. About 6 hours, middle of the night, and no heat in plane. I was dressed for the jungles of Viet Nam and setting in a cold plane in Seattle. It was October, it was raining too. Welcome Home, yeah really.
