I was greeted by this after I had just gotten off an empty flight where I was the only person in my or the two rows behind and in front of me. One of the stewardesses on this flight woke me up twice to tell me my mask was below my fucking nose. Literally not another human being within a 6 ft radius. I later lowered it again (it had been intentional the whole time, of course), and when the stupid bitch confronted me again, I took it off and started drinking some water. Because that's allowed, you know, and it was a good way of calmly saying fuck you without actually saying it. Eventually she got a male flight attendant to come over and talk to me, and this motherfucker actually suggested that we might need to land the fucking flight over my dangerously unmasked nose. At that point, I really had no other choice. They won. The miserable little apparatchiks got their victory. My only consolation is that I know she wanted me to blow my lid so they could press charges, and I did not give her the pleasure.
And they are surprised by this "mysterious" increase in hostility? We are being fucked with very, very hard right now.
