and then not getting a napkin to wipe my hands!One inventive FA used a cocktail straw to impale the lime, then bent the straw in half and speared thru the lime again, then pinned one of those plastic wings on the straw

I 3rd that. Interesting that we had that same straw trick, without the wings, for the first time two weeks ago.

not quite as annoying with a G&T, but still ...
a fork serves the same purpose 
(unless you're specifically referring to PDB service)

a lot of recent Sunday AM flying, which means hit-and-miss PDBs depending on airport and FAs.
Delta should change my flying schedule to not be Sunday AMs.
also, seatbelts with built-in airbags. those suck.

I know this is KAL nut rage level, but why on earth are PD-nuts in D1 served in packages? Surely they can carry around some small plastic or ceramic ramekins with the PDBs. Would warm be too much to ask for? If AA can do it...
Once they had black-peppered cashews. Now, I like cashews and I like pepper. In fact I'm not a picky eater at all. If you don't believe me, look up balut – I enjoyed that. I can even usually get all the way through a D1 appetizer. But the peppered cashews were one the nastiest things I've ever tasted, literally one nut had me grasping for the nasty PDB "champagne."

I don't have the Bureau of Transportation Statistics link at hand (it's been posted several times) but it's pretty easy to look up a flight once it's in the DOT database (which is typically at least one calendar month behind)
