Snake,

Obviously you are the one in serious wrong here --
1) Talking on the cell phone --- What is your problem? -- everyone knows the fact that cell phones somehow can bring down the whole FAA tracking system and here you are using one.
2) You are certainly in a time warp - You state you were on the phone 30 seconds -- now is this a) "Honey I will be ready in half a minute" 30 seconds? In which time I can watch the next 2 innings of a game or Dad, I'm starving I need to eat in like the next 30 seconds -- which will then be followed up by "Are we going to eat yet?" even before the soundwaves of the first question have yet to reach my eardrums.
3) and I think this the fatal flaw -- You went to the bathroom. What were you thinking? --- you were still on the ground. Again this is a part of the mass of knowledge - you don't go on the ground -- lest the ramp agents have to walk in your mess. I know this since the standard procedure for plane bathrooms is to grind up the "material" and spit it out the back. So when the plane is on the gorund -- hence a large puddle.

Dear Mr. Snake I hope this has been able to clear up a misunderstanding of you not seeing the folly of your ways.

And the again everyone knows the F/C has a neutron energy shield that stops the evil rays from cell phones.... and the reason the F/A had to throw you off was not only are you a serious risk -- see reasons above --but your keen sense of obsersvation noticed the F/C pax chatting on phones -- the secret must not get out --

Warning - for those of you still reading -- all of this was typed with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Snake I think you handled it as well as you could and an upgrade is not all bad.

A good read.
