The flight attendant call button / overhead light buttons on this plane are REALLY miserable.

I will repeat that.

The flight attendant call button / overhead light buttons on this plane are REALLY miserable.

I put a pillow over my armrest before I put my arm down and still, through the pillow, I was constantly turning my light off/on, and occasionally setting off the call button. Bad location, bad button design. I hope they stop what they are doing and rectify the mistake before retrofitting any other planes with this style button. Maybe they could move the button to the seatback next to the new tablet holder instead.

The chime was going off every 2-3 seconds for the entire four-hour flight from ORD to SFO. Flight attendants don't even pretend to pay attention to the chime / light any more. They might as well not be there.
