Narrative:
I was doing safety compliance checks and picking up any left service items when I felt the aircraft rolling very fast forward; obviously taking off. I tried to steady myself and move towards my jumpseat at 3L. I had trouble getting there; trying to hang on to whatever I could. One passenger in coach was trying to put something in the overhead bin near his seat and I raised my voice and said; 'get down'. This resulted in his backpack being on the floor by 3L; in front of his seat. I think I heard the gear lift up as I was getting into my jumpseat; later securing my shoulder straps and belt. I checked on flight attendant #6 at 3R and she was in her jumpseat with another flight attendant; both hanging on to the shoulder straps. Passengers in the area were questioning us as to what happened. I told them that I wasn't sure what happened and that it wasn't normal.flight attendants really need to hear the chime and P.a. To prepare for takeoff to know when to be in our jumpseats.
