This is harder to implement but is less socially awkward.

On my flight Monday morning the lady sitting next to me was baffled when the FA came by and took my order first and the proceeded on without asking for hers. It didn't help any that the FA then returned to get my drink order and, once again, moved on without asking the lady next to me anything. The stunned look and hand gesture were priceless. I've never seen anyone so physically perplexed by what was going on. Then again, maybe keeping me awake through the redeye by asking repeatedly to use the washroom was her subtle revenge.
