A FORMER flight attendant has revealed the real reason holidaymakers should stop pressing the overhead button. <\/p>\n
Some passengers assume that the call button is there so cabin crew members can fulfil their every need, but this isn't actually the case. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In an article in the Metro, former flight attendant Daisy White has revealed why passengers should stop using the overhead button every "five seconds". <\/p>\n
She said: "Troublemakers are spotted almost immediately and your reputation will spread.<\/p>\n
"Then, if you have a genuine emergency, or really do need something, you are less likely to get a quick response."<\/p>\n
In recent months, flight attendants have complained about passengers who use the call button for the wrong reasons. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TikTok user Natalie, who is known as\u00a0yogimagee\u00a0on the social media platform, revealed that some passengers push the button when they're bored.<\/p>\n
She said: "People ring the call button right when we get in the air, and I go over and I'm like: 'Yes, can I help you', and this one lady told me her daughter was bored right when we took off."<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, other passengers push the button at awkward times during a flight.<\/p>\n
In a video on TikTok, former flight attendant Kat Kamalani added: "This drives flight attendants absolutely bonkers when you hit your flight attendant call light button if we are on the tarmac, or going up or going down on the aircraft.<\/p>\n
