The FA reaction ranges from mortified to amused....but now I have more info on why they won't let me..
I was on a prop plane, and when the flight attendant asked if the Pax in the exit row would like her to demonstrate how to open the E exit over the wing, he said sure. And sure enough she pulled off thethe cover and open the exit window. And she's like see it's done like that. Then she put it back and locks it and went about her business. We were all rather surprised. But hey, Whatever.
