Master Caution..

It was a long layover with the same crew, so at day 3 we all knew ourselves very well.

To comply with our safety procedures, I have to make a "cockpit check" regularly. So after setting the snacks/beverage trolley up for the service and before going into the jungle I went to the cockpit.

After opening the door, the words that came out of my mouth, were the same as usual:

- "So, everything alright up here guys?"

I couldn´t have chosen a better timing. As soon as I finished the question, the master caution button went on and a warning horn was banging loudly over and over again. At the EICAS, a short message was shown: "APU BLEED".

-"Well, I´m leaving, have fun with that guys!" - I said, and left the cockpit.

No wonders that at dinner that night they kept fooling me around saying that I had some strange vibes going on and said next time I should ask something else while entering the cockpit.

Next day, same crew, same aircraft. Airborne and after setting everything up I went to the cockpit. And not thinking about the day before I stupidly opened the door and asked exactly the same thing. Any guesses for what happened next? Exactly. As if planed, the same red master caution went on, the same warning horn was now slamming very loudly and the same message was displayed on the EICAS.

The two pilots looked at each other, then looked at me and I said:

-"Don´t say anything. I´m on my way outta here!!"

What´s the chance of that to happen?? So funny. And for now on, for them I´m the "Master Caution girl"
