Poor, poor little flight attendant. Working nearly 16 days a month, sometimes up to 8 hours a day. Sounds exhausting. Not too exhausting for you to find time to pen a petty, self-serving, whiny little rant about how people actually ask you to help them when you're there to, you know, HELP THEM.

Here's the reality: airplanes are the new buses. Think of yourself as an ugly cocktail waitress in the back of a Greyhound bus. There. Now you've got an appropriate self-image. Anyone could do your job. A well-trained monkey could do your job. Let's see if I can accurately describe your responsibilities: herd people onto plane like cattle. Wave your arms in the air when a pointless safety recording is played and the passengers read a magazine. Serve drinks. Fake a smile. Anything I'm missing?

I haven't "toned down the rhetoric this time" -- this is my first response to your inane little rant.
