Heard a funny story from a F/A about the above situation --- might even have been true: A little guy disregarded that PA and dropped a heavy item on the head of a Very Large Passenger. The VLP grabbed the offender, raised him to the ceiling, and bounced him up and down a few times while shouting "DIDN'T she TELL you to STAY in your SEAT?" (Whole cabin paralyzed with laughter for several minutes).
I know, I know -- VLP did a very naughty thing.
