In 27 years of domestic and international DAL travel, I've never seen that. I'd probably mutter, tool, under my breath - or engage in a more toolish "I'm a pilot too!"
Which reminds me of another story:
Flying on a DAL 737 (ICT-ATL) where I can see the engines. I notice mx putting in oil. During the entire flight, I notice a nice brown streak running down the side of the engine. I contact the FA. She says, "nothing to worry about", I tell her I'm a pilot and that leaking oil is usually not a good thing". Her response - "do you fly a 737?" I kinda kept quiet after that, but a "I'll let the CA know, or yes we are aware and are monitoring" would have gone a lot further for customer service.

Please, tip your waitress and try the corned beef.

Don't touch my stuff!
Not totally toolish, but it pushed my buttons:
One leg to southern calilfornia. Flight attendants are turning and we are leaving so fo and I are in the back helping in the cabin. Capt douchnozzle goes on the flight deck and removes our crap. Mind you we were not late. He did say, thanks for helping in the back as we grabbed our stuff, so not totally douchey....but couldn't he just wait the 2.5 min? Maybe I'm the tool cuz I don't like my stuff messed with. Rant over.
