Once my wife and I were in bulkhead F on a UA flight SFO-SEA. Full flight and inbound was late so they asked everyone to stay out of the way while they expedited boarding and to put all bags either in the overhead or under the seat in front. We were first on board so we put carryon above and got out of the way. Once people had passed I asked the FA to put my computer case in the front closet (or find a space for it) and she blew up at me. Eventually, she acquiesced and put my bag in the closet. Then things got interesting.
When we got in the air, drink service started and when she came to me she said "Sir, I think you are intoxicated and I can't serve you a drink". I hadn't had a drink all day. I was livid. My wife interjected while I fumed and ultimately, she did take the drink order. AND THEN GAVE ME A DOUBLE!!!
Later in the flight, my wife overheard the FA in question talking to another FA saying she was depressed, she'd just had a child and didn't want to be working... Now, I have sympathy for her situation but that attitude isn't one that should be at work.
We each had 4 drinks over the course of a movie and a half (
Ammonite & French Exit). Half way through the second movie, I pressed pause, got up to use the restroom and return my tray, which she didn’t pick up. On my way back, I asked for a refill, which is when she she mentioned the limit.
