I had the bugs connected to my IPhone in my ears because I use them like earplugs. I dosed while everyone got settled and the FA came over, woke me and said, "is that off?". Not, "excuse me sir, but is your phone turned off?". I had the phone turned off because I fly enough to know the tyrants of the air must insure "all zee electronical devices must be turned off".

I said, "it is". She stood their glaring and until I showed her my phone. I just returned her pleasantry with a look that said, "you have yourself a wonderful day". She turned and walked away without saying a word.

I swear to God, you just try to get from point A to point B without interacting with these people but they just can't help themselves. I believe they are born to be unpleasant, inhospitable and rude.
