I love it when passengers make a big show of ignoring all the safety precautions and sit reading the newspaper during the safety brief and flight preparations - as if to prove how 'hard' they are.
I do read the safety cards, but it only tells me how to open the emergency exits, not to secure them.
I am one of those who will put everything aside and, out of courtesy seek eye contact with the FA during safety briefings.
Heck, I can still tell you verbatim how to open the emergency exit on a Chinese Tu 154, open the container, throw out and inflate the chute.
Flights like that, in those areas, have taught me to pay attention.
