Why do people ask for this kind of attention on an airplane when they don't ask for it at the grocery store?
Yeah, damn passengers asking someone to do something nice for them. Life would be so much easier without them, wouldn't it?
I'll tell you something - I've heard more announcements of FA's announcing that it is their colleagues anniversary or birthday more often than for pax.
Same reason - you are locked in a tube with >100 people, and it is nice to lighten the mood. I recommend doing the same.
