Towards the end of the flight, as I was renewing my vows to avoid AA metal in the future, I heard another passenger thank her for her service and it's because of that sort of service he flies AA. I would have fallen out of my chair except I'm sure the cabin attendant would have told me off for blocking the aisle.
In defense of the FA, I have seen many J/F pax with their Bose headsets on, watching whatever on the tablet/IFE, totally oblivious of their surroundings and the FA trying to do the meal service. My guess is by the time she got you, she was pretty tired of it.
Swing away baby!
