A note of apology to the helpful, dedicated flight attendants out there

Which brings me to FLIGHT ATTENDANT PET PEEVE #3... Seriously, people, the flight attendant is not there to lift your bag into the overhead bin, and you should not judge your flight attendant based on whether or not he or she lifted the bag into the overhead bin. We are there to assist. Key word is assist, as in I will find you a space and I will help YOU lift it, as in team effort. Flight attendants are onboard the aircraft in case of an emergency, and while we're there, we'll offer you a drink and something to eat and assist - ASSIST - in any way we can. Not lift. Assist. Remember that.
