Flight Attendant

Our flight was about to take off when the passenger behind me immediately launched into a loud and annoying conference call on his mobile phone. 'Sally, get the customer lists. Charlie, pull all the data together we have...Bob, can you bring us up to date...' and on and on. As the flight attendant began the preflight safety instructions, the executive's voice was drowned out by the PA system. While the safety speech continued, I heard him mutter into the phone, 'Hold on a second. Some people just like to hear themselves talk.' (G Borman)
