The flight attendants shouldn't be dancing in the aisles, but they also shouldn't just be chatting to each other the entire flight either. I personally believe the OP's story. I have no reason not to.
No, it is NOT. It's not that I didn't "like" the fact about the OP mentioning the FA's chatting for the 4-hour flight. The fact is, they were
NOT chatting at times when they should not have been. This includes safety demo, snack services, beverage services, attending to those who push the call button, clean up, and being there for safety. Every flight with every airline I have taken, the FA's chat for the majority of the flight...ESPECIALLY on long hauls. If you can't take a little sarcasm, such as "dancing in the aisles"...I can't understand how you have been on FT so long. FT (and all forums) is FULL of sarcasm...but the funny thing is that this is REALISTIC sarcasm. There's a difference. Lighten up, it's a non-offensive piece of light humor. The fact is, though, that chatting between FA's when "down/quiet time" occurs, is simply fine.
I have a great reason not to...I have never experienced any of what he said under the 'very dodgy' part. I fly enough with jetBlue to have experienced at least ONE! His first two parts...ok, that is his opinion. And I 100% agree with the loud headphones and JFK's T5 being a mess. See, I have my complaints too.
