First class passenger sparks security scare after asking a flight attendant this bizarre question: ‘Unbelievable'
There are some things that are off-limits even to first class fliers.
On the Delta Reddit page, a traveler recently revealed that a simple question asked by a passenger in seat 1B sparked a security scare on board their red-eye flight from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale.
As cabin service began, the man allegedly pulled aside one of the flight attendants and asked about an apparent new procedure.

'Hey, totally random question, but on my last couple flights I noticed the [flight attendants] did not block access to the galley when the pilot used the lavatory. Is this a new procedure for you guys?' the person asked, according to the Redditor who was sitting in the nearby seat.
That flight attendant did not answer the question and rather said that it was 'news' to them, then proceeded to report the conversation to the cabin manager.
According to the Reddit user, the cabin manager approached the passenger and informed them that they could not discuss 'access procedures for the flight deck' for security purposes.
The passenger responded, 'Oh, excuse me, I didn't realize I wasn't able to ask questions,' to which the cabin manager reportedly replied, 'I can answer most questions, but I cannot answer questions related to the security of the aircraft.'
When the passenger inquired why the flight attendant couldn't answer a security-related question, the cabin manager allegedly said, 'Seriously? You know why. Don't you remember 9/11? We cannot talk about that stuff. So thank you for letting us know what you observed on your prior flights.'
Later on, when the pilot used the lavatory, the poster noted that two of the flight attendants from the rear were called up to block the galley, and 'one of them stared at 1B the entire time.'
'Unbelievable this guy can't understand why it might be suspicious for the passenger seated in one of the two closest possible seats to the flight deck door to ask about galley obstructions procedures,' the original poster wrote.
Flight attendants are trained to be hyper-aware of any behavior that might be deemed suspicious and could be a potential threat to cause harm to the pilot, fellow passengers or the plane.

Neighbor Calls Stay-at-Home Mom ‘Selfish' for Refusing to Watch Her Kids for Free
A woman is defending herself after being called 'selfish' for not wanting to babysit her neighbor's kids for free The other mom assumed she would watch her kids because she's a 'stay-at-home mom' The woman stood up for herself and declined to babysit the other mom's kids because she wanted to spend time with her own childA new mom took to the internet looking for advice after a neighbor asked if she would watch their kids every day without compensation. In a Reddit post, the woman explained that she's new to her area and has made friends through her local Mommy-and-Me group. The stay-at-home mom noted that she has only been in the group for "a little over a month," as her baby is only 9 weeks old. Recently, one of her neighbors asked if she could watch their 3-year-old and 5-year-old due to an "emergency." "She looked desperate so I agreed. I was like well its just once," the poster explained, noting that she enjoys having one-on-one time with her newborn. "That day I watched her children was hectic as hell, my daughter was fussy and they children were very rambunctious to say the least," she added. "I was happy when she came and got them 6 hours later." However, the neighbor then asked if she could watch both her kids "in the afternoons," to which she politely declined. "I told her no. I'm not a full-time babysitter and have no desire to take that much time away from my own child and navigating life with my child and husband," the poster explained. The neighbor responded by saying, 'Well, it's not like I'm asking a lot, it's just the afternoons.' When the new mom tried to explain that her husband works from home and that she is "not interested in taking on any other responsibilities," the neighbor told her she was being 'selfish.' "I told her she was entitled to think that I SHOULD help her just because I'm at home with my little one," the new mom replied. In an update to the post, she revealed the neighbor later went onto the Mommy-and-Me group "to disparage" her, once again saying she was "selfish." Thankfully, other moms came to the poster's rescue, asking the neighbor why she thought it was okay to force childcare onto another mom. "Then another mom confessed and reminded her in the group chat that she tried that with her and was told that the SAHM moms in the group are not her babysitters and she needs to make arrangements for childcare independent of the group," the poster wrote. "She attempted to double down, then the moderator/ creator of the group told her it would [sic] might be best if she found another mom group to socialize with. Then she back-tracked and apologized."

Like the moms in the group, most Reddit users also defended the stay-at-home mom, citing the cost of childcare. 'Everyone knows how expensive childcare is,' one commenter wrote. 'She's just trying to take advantage of you and guilt-trip you into babysitting.' Other commenters were in agreement, adding, 'It really gets me anymore how many of these selfish people in the world make a mark on someone just because they see something they could get from them and just expect it. When they don't get what they want, they always throw out the selfish label and throw a tantrum. What is wrong with people like this?' Read the original article on People

Woman Wants Daughter to Give Her 'the Grandmother Experience' with New Baby
A new mom on Reddit is seeking advice after her mother accused her of not giving the proper "grandmother experience" The woman writes that she didn't know her mother would see it as "her big life event" The Reddit user's mother has set up a nursery at her own home for the baby and gets mad if OP won't give her alone time with the babyA woman says her mom is accusing her of not giving her the proper "grandmother experience" by not allowing her enough time with the woman's new baby. In a post shared on an anonymous Reddit thread, the 27-year-old woman writes that she had her first baby six months ago and her mom has been "over the top obsessed with being a grandmother." "I expected her to be excited, but I didn't realize she saw this as her big life event," she writes. The change happened well before the woman's son was born, she writes, when her mom "started acting like she was gearing up to raise him alongside me." "She set up a full nursery at her house, kept talking about all the weekends he'd be spending with her, and told me she planned to be there for all the firsts. It was weird, but I brushed it off as excitement," she continues. When the child was born, "it got worse. She constantly criticizes everything I do. If I let him nap in my arms, I'm spoiling him, if I don't bring him over enough, I'm keeping him from her. She's started showing up unannounced, and if I don't let her take the baby alone, she acts hurt, like I don't trust her." The final straw, the woman adds, took place at a recent family gathering. "I was holding my son when she suddenly reached for him and tried to take him out of my arms, saying I needed a break. I pulled back and told her, 'I don't need a break, Mom. I've got it.' She looked stunned and barely spoke to me for the rest of the night," she writes. She continues: "Later, she sent me this long message about how I'm denying her the grandmother experience and treating her like a stranger. Now my dad and siblings are saying I should let her be more involved because she just loves him so much." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. She ends the post with a question for fellow Reddit users, writing: "I don't want to shut her out, but I also don't want to feel like I have to share my baby and being constantly criticized. Am I being too harsh?" Other Reddit users are arguing that the woman's mom has an "idea" of what a grandmother is supposed to be – and simply won't settle for less. "She has this imaginary vision of what being a grandma is and she will take anything from you to get it. Listen to your internal voice, and tell her no," writes one. Echoes another: "Listen to that instinct you have, it's weird. You are the mom, that's actually more important than whatever she thinks a grandmotherly role is." Read the original article on People
