Ok this is interesting.
I would never click my fingers to get a FA's attention. If I was unsuccessful using ordianry methods, I'd use the call bell. That's what it's for.
I sometimes do leave my seat before the light goes off. I've gotta go. Just the way it is.
I sometime do no not pay attention to the safety video. However, I'm pretty familiar with it. I don't, however, keep others from watching it.
If I'm cold or uncomfortable, I will ask for additional pillows or blankets. My comfort is more valuable to me than your job performance or non-performance.
Typically, I've already ordered a pescietrian or vegetarian meal. However, in the case of irrops or another situation, I will approach you, before take off, to notify you of my meal requests. They're not demands, and I'm usually accommodating to just eating salad. Get over if this is a real drag and not just an inconvenience.
If you do not wish me to place rubbish/garbage in the seat, please be proactive and anticipate my disposal needs. Seems mutually beneficial.
If I am cold, you will deal with my pressing the bell. Continuously. Until the situation is rectified every time. Deal with the bell, until you deal with me being cold.
if I've ordered a specific wine or alcohol from your menu, I expect it. It's on your menu. I just want what's on offer.
I will be as pleasant and polite as you will be, and understand this is an airplane and not a five star restaurant or hotel. That is all.
