While this situation could have been an understandable mistake if it were possible to mistake my eyeglasses for garbage or my eyeglasses had been near the garbage (empty cups) that were also in my pouch (but not near my glasses), that was not the case here. I also did not go after the flight attendants. All I did was try to get my glasses from the garbage and go back to my seat. The flight attendants came to me to ask to give me compensation for their mistake and asked me to forgive them and accept 5k as compensation. Once I had my glasses and told two separate flight attendants to make sure no other flight attendants throw away passengers personal belongings
...
So, was this a DYKWIA moment?
regarding the flight attendants, tough call, but i would say a little bit.
it was pretty clearly a mistake, and repeatedly admonishing them to not throw out passengers' belongings is pretty patronizing. they know that, but made a mistake. no need to keep beating them over the head with it. it was a mistake. drop it. right? don't beat them over the head with it,. repeatedly.
this part though, seems to label you as a dykwia:

you didn't explain what happened before digging into the pouch and under the seat of the person next to you? c'mon.
