While I've certainly had rude FA's before, I've never had an "incident" with one, nor do I plan on having one. That being said, some of the above posters are correct, the issue is with US FA's. Other than isolated cases there is no "big problems" with FA's in any other country. Many seem to deal with getting out of their duties by using the "only here for your safety" or even the "9/11" excuses.
