was the FA just on a power trip? had the OP been drinking? was he a general jerk throughout the flight? we really have no context aside from the OP's story, which I would take with a few grains of salt.

I agree. It was good that the OP at least admitted he dropped the F bomb as that would show that he was wrong to some degree. It does add at least a little more credence to what he said.
