[Unhappy flier]

I was flying from Cleveland, OH to Milwaukee, WI Sunday 10/25/09 around 9PM EST. The airline was looking for a volunteer to give up their seat and be compensated with a flight Monday morning. The flight attendant (could have been named Margaret but I really don't remember) made a joke that maybe the flight attendant would take that offer up. I took this as a joke but after her attitude throughout the flight I wish she had left the plane. After she made her safety presentation (which I'm sure gets tedious for them) she walked the length of the plane. I couldn't hear the whole conversation behind me between the FA and female nor was it my business. But I surmise the female didn't comply with instructions. The FA got back on the intercom and made a statement that people weren't listening or were listening like her children. That isn't the worse thing but I don't expect or want to be treated in a condescending manner. (And if I were her child, I'd run away) Politely address that with the person(s) not adhering instead of making such comments. Then she started beverage service and stated it was a short flight so she wouldn't list back the beverage selections. I was in the back of the plane travelling with a 13 year old child. He originally didn't want anything to drink. When she got to my row she asked and he wanted to know the selections. She told him she wouldn't list them back. I find that very rude. Yes, he should have listened but he's 13. If she can't have the decency to show some customer service skills and help a 13 year old boy out, then get a different job. Her whole attitude throughout the flight was of condescension towards everyone on the flight. I did email a complaint to Continental Airlines and have yet to recieve a response. Suffice it to say I will no longer travel with them.
