Section 107 I had to Google the words "gear grinder." Yes, I grew up on planes, and now I still seem to be on them a lot. I've seen a lot of safety cards.
I think it was the most recent flight with "follow along." I just found it perplexing. Nobody could follow along.

Rare I do the same. I count the exits and look for a life vest. Then I forget. I always try to show some level attention to the demo if I'm in the bulkhead or otherwise close to the crew. I think I could probably recite it from memory in multiple languages, but I don't want to be rude. But I've never followed the instruction to "remove the safety card from the seat pocket in front of you." ("For our customers in United Business, you will find your safety card at arm level between seats.")
