Last week, we had Y pax tromping up through F during the tail end of the climb to use the lavs on a PMCO 738; FAs didn't even bother to announce that the seatbelt light was still on.
OTOH, I've been on SFO-IAD transcons where the pilot turned on the light about an hour into the flight and left it on for the next 3.5 hours, even though perfectly smooth air or at worst very light and occasional chop. When that happens, you bet I'm going to ignore the light.
