It's not like you had the boarding pass in hand or they asked you to move while you were already sitting in 1st. Deal with it, you are bottom of the food chain, quit gate hovering, leave the agents alone, and move over so 1st class passengers can board. Big deal, it is an hour flight, be happy they let you check 1 bag for free and board in zone 2...
