(Obviously he was loud, or the FA wouldn't have even known.) Heck, he also knows that he is so important that he can tell the FAs what to do.

With that said, FAs need to learn that making up fake FAA rules only makes the situation worse. They have the authority to say, "Because I am in charge." If, instead, they make something up, passengers who know they are fibbing are less inclined to do as told and more inclined to argue back. Tell me you are in charge and you say to do it, I've got no response. Make up that the FAA has a rule, and I've got the truth to argue back.
