The FA could have handled things a bit better in the OP's case, but PHX is right about one thing and that is too many people are keeping devices on well after they've been told to turn them off (among other things like leaving trays down, seats back, etc). In defense of some folks who try to keep their laptops on, they are usually doing last minute work and try to squeeze whatever they can until they get the "tap,tap". Others simply don't care about the rules, which i notice in the younger 20-something crowd.
True she didn't have to watch over you like a hawk, but she probably does it out of prior experience. On your next flight just observe folk during take off and landing and look to see who has their phone, ipod, etc still on after the doors are closed. You'd be surprised.
