This past weekend I flew home to Grand Rapids Michigan for a family event. Boarding my flight, we were all greeted by two very wholesome Marsha Brady looking flight attendants. They both had perfect blond hair, pearly whites, and smiles that went from ear to ear. As I headed to my seat I thought to my self “Wow, what a professional looking crew.â€Â Just then from behind a long line of passengers came barging through, this chubby ass middle aged black woman, dressed in a “way too tight” and bedazzled stewardess uniform; and announcing to the crew at the top of her lungs.. “My bad…I know I’m late! My daughter got arrested again.” I turned to see what all the commotion was and I could not believe my eyes. As soon as I saw her honey blond extensions, dirty pink house shoes, and gold plated necklace that read “Nieceyâ€; something just told me I was in for an interesting flight.
Our plane checked in full; so from the moment we hit the sky, the flight attendants appeared somewhat overwhelmed as they scrambled to assist all the passengers. Instead of lending a hand to help the other two ladies who were obviously struggling; Niecey “the ghetto flight attendantâ€, just sat in the rear of the plane the entire time with her shoes off, and repeatedly cracking her toes while playing Tetris on her phone. And every time a passenger would walk over and ask her for something; without even looking from the phone she would just reply “Chile…my feet hurt, you gone have to ask somebody else for thatâ€. I had never seen anything like it before in my life.
Since the flight was just under an hour there was no meal service scheduled, not even a measly bag of peanuts. However about 20 minutes into the flight, everyone noticed that the entire cabin suddenly began smelling just like old greens and feet. Curious, I leaned my head around the corner to investigate the smell and I could not believe my eyes. Niecey’s ghetto ass had stunk up the entire plane warming up an old plate of soul food that she brought from home. And from the smell of things, that plate had been sitting in the back of her refrigerator for two weeks. She had catfish, greens, macaroni, yams; you name it, she had it piled up on that plate. She then proceeded to douse the entire hot sauce; sit back down in her seat with a bottle of Grape Crush, and loudly smack her way through the entire plate. So not only did we not get a meal service on the plane; we all had to sit there and smell Niecey’s old catfish and greens for the entire flight. This was slowly turning into the flight from hell.
About 20 minutes later I realized I had to use the rest room. Since there was a long line of people waiting to use the one in the back near me, I decided to walk to the front of the plane and use the one in first class. Just as I was reaching for the restroom door, Niecey literally came sprinting up from the rear of the plane barefoot with her stockings on, and screaming “Nuh Uh!! Nigga you know you can’t use that! That’s first class!â€Â Startled, I explained to her that the other one was crowded and no one was using this one. But by this time she had jimmied herself between me and the door, blocking my entrance. Taken aback I asked,“What’s the big deal? It’s just a bathroom, besides I’m already up here now.â€Â But with her lips pursed sideways she just kept exclaiming, “Nope, rules is rules. You can not use these people’s bathroom! Go to the one in the back!!â€Â I tried to open the door anyway, but it was pretty clear that she wasn’t going to move out of my way. So with no other choice, I decided to fake her out. I pretended to walk back to my seat, and as soon as she turned around, I quickly doubled back and darted into the restroom. Enraged, she began banging and yelling on the door for me to come out; but I figured, at this point there was pretty much nothing she could do. So I thought. Just as I was coming out and heading to my seat, now determined for revenge, Niecey quickly pulled the beverage cart over into the aisle and began serving drinks all over again just so I couldn’t get by. With all of the other flight attendants looking confused as to why Niecey was serving drinks again just 20 minuets later, she made sure to take even 4 times longer than usual. I thought to myself, “This is one petty ass bitch.”.
About 20 minutes later, the flight attendants began walking through the cabin to prepare for arrival. By this time, I was sitting half asleep in my seat, and I didn’t realize that my foot was slightly sticking out into the aisle. As Niecey was walking backwards through the cabin collecting last minute trash, she accidentally tripped over my foot and fell completely backwards to the floor. Her big bag of trash flew in the air. Completely in shock, I quickly apologized and went to help her up from the ground. As soon as she saw that it was me that tripped her, assuming that I did it on purpose to get her back from earlier, she instantly hopped back to her feet and to my surprise, she hauled off and slapped the dog sh*t out of me. “WHAP!” Boy was I not expecting that. She actually hit me so hard that I went delirious. For a second I thought I was back in my grandmother’s kitchen playing scrabble with Jesus. I had never been hit that hard before in my life. It was like she had a bag of nickels in her hand. Thank God, my Grandma’s chihuahua Smokey came running in when he did and warned me to “Stay away from the light”. Otherwise I would’ve for sure been a goner. Just as I came to, and tried to explain to her again that it was really just a mistake; before I knew it, she had done slapped me again with her other hand only this time even harder. I thought to myself, “WTF?? Is this bitch ambidextrous?â€Â As much as I wanted to sit there and rationalize with her, it didn’t exactly take a rocket scientist to figure out that she was coming back for thirds. So thinking fast, before she could hit me again, I quickly leaned in and caught her in the stomach with a quick uppercut. I must’ve knocked the wind out of her too; because she doubled all the way over to the floor holding her stomach.
Now I don’t know exactly what was in those greens; but she suddenly got up and shook that punch off like the Terminator, and then began taking off her jewelry. Now, I don;t know about you… But I’ve seen enough Ghetto Brawl clips on YouTube to know that this was technically not a good sign. Although I normally would never in a million years condone hitting a woman; from the look in her eyes, it was pretty clear that I was going to have to fight this bitch to the death. The next thing I knew, Niecey and I were rolling through the aisle fighting like two alley cats. And I am actually man enough to say, that this bitch was whooping my ass. I probably would’ve had a better chance against a pack of wild orangutans. I had no idea a person could even move so fast. I began praying aloud, “Can somebody ‘PLEASE’ come break this up?â€Â But to my surprise, the entire plane started chanting in unison, “Kick his ass… kick his assâ€. I thought, “Kick ‘my’ ass? What the hell did I do to them?â€Â Not to mention, the last thing this bitch needs is more encouragement. By the time the air marshal finally made his way over; Niecey had me pinned between the aisle in a half nelson.
As soon as the plane landed, we were both detained in the security office for questioning. As it turned out; because Niecey had violated the airline’s strict policy against kicking a passengers ass, she was let go right there on the spot. And as consolation, I was released with a formal apology from the airline and 500,000 frequent flier miles. Apparently, this wasn’t Niecey’s first time fighting a passenger. My only prayer is that the footage isn’t somewhere floating around on YouTube. The last thing I need is it getting out that yet another woman publicly kicked my ass. Women tend not to be attracted to that.

Brett, I think you have some talent as a writer and some of your metaphors are funny, as stand-alones. But I need to tell you how offensive your title is, not to mention the picture you used. First, your use of “bitches” as synonymous with women is a major problem. Second, even if you were telling a story about how “ghetto” someone was being, how do you think it’s okay to then put “Why Black Women…” as the subheader? Really, you think no Black women should be a flight attendant? You’ve never seen wayward or outlandish White women, men or anyone else while flying? Well, I have… and the recent example is Steven Slater from JetBlue.
On top of that, your story just seems entirely unbelievable in too many ways. Flight attendants are not even allowed to sit back and not participate or it’s their job to handle security and not serve. She was right about the first class bathroom and that would be the case on ANY flight, it doesn’t make her a bitch or a ghetto bitch for that. And you know good and well she didn’t call you “Nigga” on the flight.
For me, whether this was meant for comedy or it’s a true story (and I know it’s not), it’s sad that you think you have to build your career as a comedy writer on the mountain of misogyny and disrespect for Black people, in general, and Black women, in particular. That tells me that you’re not as courageous or creative as you think you are.
Don’t be the norm. Don’t sound like a BET Comedy Show. It appears as though you have more talent than that and I hope you show it.
Know better and do better, please.
Dr. Goddess: Thank you tremendously for your valued feedback. Although you found my work to be offensive, I do appreciate the time you took to respond. As a comedy writer I do realize that I simply won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. However instead of focusing on those that don’t care for my work… I try to focus on the many the thousands of folks that like what I do. Many who our Attorneys, Doctors, Educators, and such as yourself.
brett, i’ll admit that there is serious humer in this post, so serious i nearly pissed my pants. But all jokes aside, i would like to know why do you feel the need to make fun of balck women. I assume your goal is to make a name for yourself in show biz or in the literary world. whenever you do, please leave the buffonery behind and make the stories believable.
Glowing Soul: Thanks so much for the comment… and sorry about your pants.
I do really appreciate your opinion and while I do admit that this piece which just happens to be one of my least favorites on the site, and it does portray one Black woman in a a certain light… this post does not represent the totality of the site. I do not fell the need to make fun of “Black women” to make a name for my self… in-case you didn’t know… my mom is actually a Black woman. If you follow Brett and the City, you will surely see that I poke fun at pretty much everyone across the board.
Brett,
I HAVE followed your blog from the very beginning and II must say you ARE very offensive! But people… It’s a damn joke!!! HELLO!
After reading some of these comments, I wasn’t sure if these people knew you were a comedian! If Richard Pryor didn’t spend so much time keeping his comedy real, there wouldn’t be all the success of the entire Wayans clan, Eddie Murphy, shallI go on??
Your comedy is hilarious and being as though I do know you and have worked with you personally, I KNOW you are a complete gentleman who does NOT run around calling every black, white or green woman “a bitch.”
As for those who THINK they all this knowledge of Flight Attendants, oops wrong again!! As an ex- flight attendant on a major airline, I have worked with nightmare ghetto b—–s from hell myself!!! Do NOT get it twisted, they exsist! Yes the ones that sit in the back on the jumpseat and talk about the passengers, eat their pork chop and grits…come on now!!!
Brett you keep doing what you’re doing the way you are doing it because it’s yours!!! That’s the beauty. So people, stop hating!!!
Thanks Twirl!!! No one couldn’t have possibly said it better! I seriously believe some oof our people are just tooo serious for their own good.
I have been examinating out some of your stories and i can state pretty clever stuff. I will surely bookmark your site.
very nice blog post, i surely enjoy this website, continue on it.
