I've not yet flown on a full-price F fare, but in all cases I've done the same things, worn the same clothes and carried the same luggage. There's no way on earth you could tell whether I was flying on an F, A or Z fare... unless, of course, you've sneaked a peek at the crew's manifest!

How would anyone know I’ve paid cash for my seat, as I do every time except for the annual 2-4-1?
Both you need to be on your best behavior ! Otherwise someone here may take a dislike to you and look at you sideways. Also get your 2-4-1 booked out ]before you are banished from the pure cabins.
