At the end, she asked us if we all understood. We all dutifully nodded our heads. She then said "The FAA requires that I get a verbal yes from each of you." I responded, "They do not." She asked if I'd like to be moved to a different seat.

This goes back to my theory that people in service industries grasp on to the little bit of power they have in their lives, granted to them by their shitty job, like SD with a mirror.
I ran into a real estate agent who told me, after handing me a contract for a lease to sign, that New York State law prohibited anyone from changing or altering the lease in any way. Then she handed me a supplement to the lease, drafted by her office, full of riders. I asked her if she understood that what she said was complete bullshit and that she had, in fact, just handed me a bunch of changes to the lease. She gave me a blank stare. I asked her if she made it up or if her superiors were telling her to say that to people. She went to get a superior and he said that she was mistaken and that it was office policy, not state law.
I think she made it up.
