Just chiming in with my hatred for the announcement.
Inevitably, after the FA gets on the horn and the seatbelt sign dings off, some passive-aggressive kettle will start making conversation along the lines of "so where are you connecting to?" to everyone in the aisle.
It's like DYKWIA extended to the nth degree... "Do you know how short my connection is?"
May my travels all be international flights with customs & immigration on the other end, so I don't have to hear it again!
