Depending on the situation...I may slide my wife through the Fly-By lane...but never during boarding. After all, I'm just going to save 11B (or 11E or 12E) for her anyway...and she's usually no more than 10 spots or so behind.

Probably not what you meant but...last week, there was this lonely, dried up looking spinster type who gave me a dirty look as I approached the boarding queue and said, "Oh, you're A18, so I'm right behind you." I can understand it if I lined up in front of her instead of A20.

The BS passengers who act all high and mighty hanging out by the 1-5 pole never fail to crack me up when I see them park their butts in Rows 2-6.
