2. Flight info: Agree that if you don't want to listen, don't. But why be given the choice in the case of rubbish? I'd be surprised if the pilot could even read basic English, forget flight manuals, that's how bad. Again, refer point 1 above - unprofessional. I don't pay for cr@p.
3. Water when LJ was served: Not right away is fine, but not when (a) i tell the FA that water is required for medication, and (b) it is right in front of the FA on the trolley.

Have you heard some of the pilots on Singapre Airlines, JAL, Alitalia, Aeromexico, Aeroflot, etc? They have strong accents and can be hard to understand. But does not mean they do not know English or are less qualified in any way. Your reaction strikes me as being very elitist.
And regarding the water, it suggests somewhat poor planning / arrogance on your part if you need it right away for medication and cannot wait a few minutes to get it. On most airlines, you would have been told to wait a bit unless it was an emergency. Even if you were travelling in the front.
