The only two strange things in 30 years on this carrier

I have been flying on U for 30 years, and in that time, have been very satisfied most of the time.
There were two strange incidents, however.
Once, the entire crew spent the entire very long flight giggling. It was really quite strange. They did not seem to be drunk or high otherwise, but their behavior was strange and giggling for hours.
The other strange thing that happened is once a nonnative English speaking crew was, I would say, yelling at some passengers to move, but the passengers didn't speak English, and one woman asked the other why they were being yelled at. I told the crew member that the passengers did not speak English and could not understand what she said. Then the crew member stared with WHAT IS YOUR NAME??? SHOW ME YOUR PASSPORT?? WHERE ARE YOU TRANSITING TO??
So of course I replied What is YOUR name?? We are going to see the supervisor at the front desk right now.
