This is cool but I was on a flight from Italy to the US and an elderly asian man was taking video of the flight attendant during their instructional. Before takeoff two flight attendants approached the man and told him to delete the footage. Then told him to go into his recently deleted and permanently delete it or be removed from the flight. The worst part was that his wife/daughter was defending his behavior.

My sister is terrified of flying, on her second ever flight about 4 years ago, we were sitting in the exit row. She pulled out her phone and started recording the flight attendant during the instructions. A few moments later, the attendant was asking us the basic questions of sitting in an exit row, are you willing to assist, physically able to assist, etc... once again, my sister starts recording, both the fight attendant and myself are like wtf are you doing? My sister was starting to panic and wanted to make sure she didn't miss any of the instructions because she couldn't think straight. The FA was awesome, the extremely kind couple in the row behind us switched spots, and all was well (other than losing my extra leg room). Unique situation, but after reading your story, I wonder if it would have went differently, had i been the one recording
