Do you think it is rude to ring the call button to ask for something to drink? 9/10 times on a US domestic flight they don't seem to happy to get the request.
Hmm, this reminds me of me sitting row 56 or something like that on SQ, 3am, can't sleep because it's Y and I'm 6', so I push the call button. 30 seconds later: 'How can I help you'. 'I would like a Singapore Sling please'. 60 seconds after that 'Here you go sir'.

And of course their premium cabins are fully booked - unlike some airlines, they don't feel they need to treat their Y pax like dirt in order to upsell to J/F.
