I firmly believe 10 to 15 percent of cabin staff are sociopathic and / or mentally ill. This passenger found one of them.
This story bears out my theory that one should avoid all eye or verbal contact with flight attendants until one has observed their behavior for awhile to determine whether or not they're wound properly. I am not kidding. A couple of years ago I had an FA attempt to pull me off a flight for saying good morning -- and indicating, in a friendly way, that I'd seen her and her crewmates in the hotel lounge last evening.
That's the last time I say good morning to any FA without confirming they are not insane.

Unquestionably plausible. Yes.
