Up til this point I've stayed quiet. But I think I've reached my limit. Do you guys take matters into your own hands, alert a FA -- or just ignore it and mind your own business?
I leave it alone. The airline isn't going to have my back if I do its job for it, and it's certainly not going to discount the fare.

That said, it annoys me when someone manages to "not hear" the announcement, but they hear the personal hey-you from the FA just fine. If they are delaying pushback, they deserve to writhe in lengthy torment.
