All while ATC is giving some vectors for traffic so I’m trying to talk to him and tell the FA to knock it off.
The FA is literally on his knees in the entrance to the cockpit just holding the observers mask to his face hyperventilating as the CA saunters back up the the cockpit
CA: “What the hell is going on up here?”

Unfortunately it is more common then you think. And it is always the real young ones. You know, the ones that are just like the face always in the phone young VSCO passengers who think you are just their glorified Uber driver

Yes! I think every airline has had at least one. Best response to this if you want to make a friend is say “you know why I get paid what I do, and you get paid your rate?” “no!” “Because everyone knows how to open a can of coke” Use at own risk.
Now, I fly w quite a few who are becoming pilots. When I inquire about where they are in training and tell them what’s likely to happen they give me the nasty stink eye. most believe they will be able to skip regional flying all together since they are working for a mainline as a FA😂.
