You are sitting on a plane, you know you are departing. Okay so the plane is delayed...how about this approach - I'll text you if we are delayed otherwise expect me there. Or take a cab when you get there and let the poor sap on the other end go to bed.

I'd say just get over it. There are bigger problems to deal with and this seems more a passenger problem than the FAs.
