55. On my last trip back from Asia, I was upgraded to business class, and

my only thought was, "Woohoo!"

But as we were boarding and I was getting settled in my comfy lie-flat seat and sipping my complimentary champagne, relishing the probably once-in-a-lifetime experience, a guy about two rows back was stopping every flight attendant and complaining loudly that he had asked to be seated upstairs (it was a 747), so why was he downstairs?

If there weren't any flight attendants around, he complained to the other passengers. He was saying things like, "My company buys hundreds of thousands of business class tickets per year, and this is unacceptable! I'm going to tell corporate travel to book me on some other airline next time!"

Finally, the head flight attendant, a dignified older man with some sort of European accent (German or Danish, maybe?) walked up to him and said, "Please come with me, sir."

I don't know where the flight attendant took him (I hope it was the cargo hold), but we had peace and quiet for the rest of the overnight flight.

Yes, rich people's problems indeed. The website Flyer Talk calls that behavior DYKWIA syndrome, DYKWIA standing for "Do you know who I am?"
