MD80 CABIN ATTENDANT EXPERIENCED A PAX MISCONDUCT INCIDENT INFLT. AUTHS MEET ACFT UPON ARR AT DEST.

Narrative

I WAS FLT ATTENDANT #4. WE WERE 30 MINS LATE LEAVING ORD. PAX X SAT IN SEAT X; WIFE PAX Y IN SEAT Y. DURING BOARDING; I ASKED THEM TO PLEASE NOT PUT THEIR COATS IN THE OVERHEAD BIN UNTIL ALL THE BAGS WERE STOWED; THEN WE COULD TUCK COATS AROUND THE BAGS. WIFE: 'WHAT DO YOU EXPECT US TO DO WITH THEM?' I REPEATED MY REQUEST. THEY ROLLED THEIR EYES AND MUMBLED. AFTER THE SAFETY DEMO I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD BEEN ABLE TO STOW THEIR COATS AND THEY SAID 'YES; NO PROB.' WIFE'S SALAD CONTAINER WAS ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF PAX Z -- ALMOST IN THE AISLE -- I ASKED PAX Z IF IT WAS TRASH AND HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS. THINKING IT MUST BE PAX X I ASKED HIM IF IT WAS TRASH; AND HE LAUGHED AND SAID 'YES.' I PICKED IT UP OFF THE FLOOR. I WAS NOT WITNESS TO THE FOLLOWING: PAX Y WENT INTO FIRST CLASS TO USE THE RESTROOM. FLT ATTENDANT #1 ASKED HER TO STOP AND PLEASE USE LAVATORY IN THE REAR OF MAIN CABIN. AFTER SEVERAL REQUESTS; PAX Y SAID 'DO YOU EXPECT ME TO WALK ALL THE WAY BACK THERE?' #1 SAID 'YES; DUE TO NEW SECURITY DIRECTIVES AFTER 9/11; THOSE ARE THE RULES.' PAX Y UNHAPPILY WENT TO THE AFT LAVATORY. AFTER HER RETURN TO HER SEAT; #1 FLT ATTENDANT SHOWED PAX X AND Y THE PARAGRAPH THAT STATES THIS INFO; SO THEY WOULD NOT THINK SHE WAS MAKING UP THE RULE. #1 FLT ATTENDANT RETURNED TO THE FIRST CLASS CABIN AND PAX X THREW THE MAGAZINE AT HER; HITTING HER SHOE. #1 FLT ATTENDANT TURNED AROUND AND ASKED 'DID YOU JUST THROW THAT MAGAZINE AT ME?' PAX X SAID 'I WAS JUST RETURNING IT TO YOU.' #1 FLT ATTENDANT ASKED THE PLT TO HAVE THE AUTHS MEET THE ACFT IN ZZZ. THEY DID AND HANDCUFFED PAX X AS HE WAS DEPLANING.
