Not so much a complaint, as an observation of stupid.
Perhaps 15 years ago, Myself and the rest of my travel group took a voluntary bump off a flight to Puertto Vallarta at SFO (free ticket, woot!).
As the cabin door is being closed, two yuppie douchebags and their significant others stroll up to the gate counter, where they are told that they checking in too late, their seats have been given to other passengers, and the aircraft is being prepared for departure.
Douchebag #1 says to douchebag #2 (and companions), "We're going to be on that flight.". Airline employee says "I can get you on the standby list for a later flight."
The douchebag continues to insist that he WILL be getting onboard, even as the aircraft is pulling away from the jetway.
I'm barely suppressing my laughter as he keeps arguing with her as "his" flight takes off.
