Plot twist: we've uncovered a "serial spanker" in the AA flight crew ranks!!!! I always did think that FemBot in the safety videos had some secrets!!! "We're here to make your flight great, cause "thank you mistress may I have another" is what we're going for!!"
So funny you should say that, as I used that very line years ago in a similar situation with a delightful southern FA on a US Airways flight.
Seat belt sign went on for turbulence well before landing but I just wasn't going to be able to wait. I popped up and headed for the lav. The FA was putting things away in the galley as I passed through.
She whips her head around and looks at me and says, "Sweetie, the seat belt sign went on -- hurry up, or I'm going to have to spank you."
I replied, "Darlin' is that a promise?" and headed into the lav.
She laughed, I laughed and when I deplaned a while later she gave me a hug and thanked me for making her day.
IMO, the only problem here was the lady in front of the OP who just should have minded her own business.

Honestly in my experience AA is up there as well as BA. The worst among oneworld IMO is Finnair. I think that could just be a language/culture thing.

Despite my misgivings of AA I have to fully admit I've never had a bad flight attendant on any LUS, LAA, or pre-merger AA/US flight. I could point out 1-2 bad ones I've had on Delta, JetBlue and Southwest but my AA/US ones have either been bland/forgettable at their worst and funny/personable/went out of their way to help me at their best.

Referring to people on this thread as lecherous old weirdos and choosing to read through a thread and then to demand people stop so you don't have to listen/read it shows very much who you are, "bro". I think you need the introspection.

If you're uncomfortable with the fit of the shoe perhaps you should try not wearing it. Maybe just ask yourself whether your behavior would be appropriate at the dinner table.

Some people have no sense of humor.
I'd rather listen to FAs threaten spankings than the credit card pitch.

I read it as his saying the FA was acting like she was the OP’s mother (threatening to discipline him for misbehaving). Pretty inocuous.
FWIW, I’m probably about the same age as you, ORDlady, based on the ages of your children - so not a millennial but not old!
