I agree the FA overreacted, but let's at least keep things in their proper context.

Especially not people who themselves are powerless to repair the situation and powerless to discuss/provide the remedies for it.
The flight attendant probably wanted to reach the gate as much as the pax. If she misconnected to her next assignment, she might have enspent dead time in the airport (not at full pay rate, if paid at all). The gate agent he was inimating they should complain to would have been open & conducting business for the
next flight, not for his inbound flight.
