Funny. I've been a narrow body guy for over 13 years and can count on one hand the number of FA issues I've encountered prior to this Fall. Since then? Well, lets say a few more than that. In common? All former international FAs "forced" to fly domestic trips now after many many many years of not doing so.
Maybe a generality or maybe after so many years I have a different take on what I normally consider drama vs. this new drama I'm seeing. As for passengers? Yes, I agree. The number of those issues has gone way up, but our FAs have always seemed to get it handled.
