A few minutes later the FA came back and said my option was not available. I VERY politely asked if this was an odd numbered flight, if service was not supposed to begin from the back. She, before really registering what I said, very rudely told me not to be difficult. I told her I was not trying to be difficult and not to worry about it. She then realized what I said, looked at the top of her manifest and verified the flight number. She said I was 100% right and apologized sincerely. I said, it was still early and that i would be fine. As she continued to apologize I recalled the passenger to my right had rudely refused the food item that was my preference, and only wanted fruit. His conversation went back and forth with her wanting to give him the food, and him refusing it. I brought up that exchange and said I'd love to have his food that was clearly unwanted. She laughed and said that worked out perfect.
