I'd like to nominate the passenger on my mostly empty commute. We've been on the ground all of 3 minutes and had stopped, waiting to cross a runway when our offender pops up into the aisle and begins collecting his bags from the overhead. The FA gets on the PA and politely reminds everyone that we are not at the gate and that the seat belt sign is still on. The offending moron then sits back down but leaves his 2 rollaboards sitting in the aisle. Again, the FA tells him over the PA that he can't leave his bags in the aisle, he needs to move them onto an empty seat. Our hero then decides the best course of action is to argue with the FA via shouting and fuming. To her credit, the FA kept her cool and said something to the effect of "Sir, I'm sorry you feel stupid for not knowing or caring about the rules, but they are not only for your safety but also the safety of your fellow passengers. Thank you!" That got more than a few claps and chuckles and has my vote for Cool of the Day!
