I said that I have to go to the bathroom, she yells that she has to tell me that seat belt sign is on. I pointed at other people standing by the bathroom door, she yells again that she has to tell me to sit down and buckle up. I sit down and buckle up wait for another 15 min to the seat belt sign to turn off and then make a dash towards the bathroom.

I know she's required to do whatever she did, but cmon the attitude these days are uncalled for.
Unless there was a loud noise at the time (like a PA announcement or the landing gear just dropped) I have never heard a FA yell at anyone.
