SIDDOWN!

Another funny thing I forgot to mention:
Flight attendant pants are those high-waisted things that people like police, military, and UPS drivers wear, and as such, when you crouch down wearing them, the waistband pokes out in the back. This, by itself, is not funny.
I previously mentioned that there is a seldom-used table in the galley (yeah, that one I put nuclear infant ass on that time). It stows vertically on the bulkhead across from all the compartments in the galley, so that the bottom edge is about waist high if you happen to be crouching. This, by itself, is not funny either, but I'll bet you can see where this is going.
When you crouch down in the galley to get something out of a compartment, forget the placement of the two aforementioned things, and stand back up again, the bottom edge of the galley table hooks your waistband and throws you back down so viciously that your feet come entirely out from under you and you end up pounded onto the galley floor, wondering what the hell happened to you. I've done that so hard that it actually made me dizzy, and a few times someone in the first row leaned forward to see what that loud noise was.
