To see things differently... I wasn't on that specific flight, of
course, but there are two sides to any story.

The easyJet plane was late and the crew acted like it was the boarding
passengers' fault. One of them even told passengers to hurry up and get
on board the plane, and that if we are late, then it would be our fault,
and not theirs.

"The easyJet plane was late and the crew did their best to minimise
delay by getting it turned around as soon as possible. One of them
asked people to board as quickly as possible and to take the first
seat they could see. They wanted to get home to finish their shift,
and we wanted to get home as well, so this suited us fine."

The flight was filled with football yahoos,

This can happen, but not on every flight.

the cabin crew were very
surly

"The cabin crew were stressed because of the delay and some passengers
didn't make it easier for them".

and the in-flight service was very poorly stocked.

"The in-flight service wasn't restocked at turnaround in order to
minimise delay".

On top of that,
the surly cabin crew demanded that anybody purchasing what little was
available have exact change.

"On top of that, the cabin crew asked that if people had exact change
that it would be helpful." (They usually do).

I wonder what the working conditions are like for easyJet pilots.

Perfectly good, as far as I know. They usually seem happy enough.
