In defense of flight attendants, I had a super rough go of understanding anyone during Covid. I tend to read lips to an extent which I never really noticed until everyone was wearing a mask. Sometimes I have a bit of an auditory processing delay, and I was supplementing it by reading lips.

Yea that makes sense. In this case most of the flight attendants had no trouble hearing me, except for one guy who really makes a big show of it. He’s often on the route between the cities I fly too so it wasn’t even a one time thing. Ive seen him a few times and he always does this specifically.
