In hundreds and hundreds of flights I've never once felt I received "stink-eye" for pushing a call button, never felt any less than welcome asking for something. I'm generally much more likely to ask in the galley while I get up for a pee, than to hit the call button, but I've never once felt like the crew found it to be unwelcome or an intrusion.
I hear a small number of people say they get that reaction all the time, in every interaction.
At some point I start to wonder how much of that is in the assumptions made by the passenger.
