Tool in 1st class: "You didn't just crush my laptop, did you?"
Me: "Yeah. I smashed it to pieces."
Tool in 1st class: "Don't get smart with me!"
Me: "Who the hell are you?"
Tool in 1st class: stammers...everyone starts to giggle, I walk back to my seat & a dude high-fives me.
^^^ Was not in uniform when that happened
thank god

How about the tool captain that includes this is every Pre-flight brief. As he taps his eppaulets "you know what this means? It means I have 51% control of this aircraft. The rest of it is dispersed at my discretion.". This guy is 23 and was hired at 18....

I saw that as a LCA. They get it out of their system after about two years in the left seat.
