If the purser woke you up pre-take off, I think that's acceptable as one should be awake for the safety briefings etc. etc., and shouldn't be too much of an issue - I find the easiest thing is to cut them off politely and say hello etc. etc.
If post take-off, then a big no-no, imho; that said, I am rarely woken up to be given the spiel once in the air.
It was after demonstration but before take off. I was last on the plane and dozed off.
I also had in ear headphones in (but not connected to anything) but the lady doing it totally lacked any form of social skills or ability to 'read the signals'.
The whole thing is phony, that busy time before takeoff and let's be honest the person giving the greeting doesn't really give a toss, they know, I know and they know I know they know....
