So  - me & this nice little old lady are sitting there waiting for the snotty little AirWaiter to come & bring us our piddly little bag with 3 nuts in it and our can of warm pop.  Being that I'm in a window seat I manage to fold my legs up under me to get my tray table down so I can do the T-Rex - but the nice old lady with the carry on crap can't get her tray horizontal on her knees 'cause her feet are up on the 29" pullman we've wedged under the seat in front of her. (along with the aforementioned laptop and BBS)
    Well - Mr. AirWaiter sees this and about loses his water right there.  He proceeds to dig into her about how she's "just caused us to violate an FCC rule" and yadayadayada and blahblahblah............
    Mind you - I'm the LAST guy you'll ever hear DEFENDING someone who's brought on the armada - but this guy was going way too far.  He made some really lame analogy about both of us tripping - as if when this DC-9/80 drops from the sky like a rock we're even going to have to worry about tripping.  I mumbled that I'd rather know where all my body parts were going to end up.
    To make matters worse, nice little old lady & I started joking when his back was turned & that SMF had hearing like a godamn fruitbat!  I said to her "Better watch your ass or he'll be back to take those peanuts back" at which point he told us we wouldn't think it was so funny in an emergency.
    I bet if I'd have kept egging him on I'd have made him cry and go tell the Captain. I didn't mean to be such a wise ass - but if you'd have heard this guy acting like little Hitler you'd have felt like bitch slapping him too...
