Decades ago in the commuter days, I was standing on the ramp by the air stair boarding the pax onto our 1900C.
One wiseacre asks me, "In what foreign country was this little airplane built?"
I replied, "The People's Republic of Wichita".
Yes they are out there.
PAX just seem to feel they have to say some of the dumbest things to the flight crews in passing. I make it a habit when I am a PAX to thank the FA’s as I pass by any of them at the end of the flight and if a flight deck crew member is present while I am deplaning, I say thank you with a smile on my face. Just my way of letting them know I appreciate all of their efforts. A simple courteous Thank You can go a long ways in letting folks know you appreciate them and their efforts.
