Sorry, it wouldn't have happened if you had done what you were asked with the phone and not made a big deal about others.

Was the FA wrong? Perhaps, but each of us should take responsibility to do everything that WE can to make for a better flight and environment.

Accepting everything as written above, I have to disagree with you. 99% of the FAs put up with a whole more than they give but I hear an example of an FA going the wrong way on the authority path. The error appears to me to be on the part of the Pilot in Command. A pax acting funny and not "jumping-to" should not be reasons to abuse power. I've seen people really acting funny and talked to in the jetway only to return after being observed by several people, overcoming the initial one person reaction.
