I had an upgrade yesterday morning (cleared 5 days in advance, 29 names on the waiting list when I went to board) from CVG to PHX, and the gentleman seated next to me was the sort of "its all about me" entitlement snob that we all have run across from time to time.

1. Camped out on the Breezeway carpet 15 minutes prior to boarding. Maybe I can understand this if you're in a bulkhead, but he was in row 4. Is there really a danger that the plane will leave without you?
2. Put both his bag and his computer bag in the overhead. On a full flight, it's common courtesy to put one bag under the seat in front of you, isnt it? Caused a ripple effect and the last guy on in FC got shafted.
3. Immediately took his shoes off, but no socks. I don't really want to spend 4 hours staring and smelling his dirty dogs. What's ediquette on this?
4. Even after the announcements, kept pounding away on his blackberry while listening to his iPod as if it didnt apply to him - right up to takeoff.
5. When the movie started, every other passenger lowered their shades when asked - except this guy. No individual seatback screens, just the crappy overhead units, so any light whatsoever makes it unwatchable.
6. He slept through breakfast. After everything had been cleared, he woke up - and rang the FA to get his breakfast served, complained that the cereal option was gone, AND asked for extra croissants. ...? This isn't Dennys.

Now I realize that they are all trivial little items, and none of them warranted a confrontation, but when you string them together on one flight, I found myself laughing at what a high maintenance diva this guy was.

Anyone else have any FC stories to share?

(btw, the CVG GAs were strictly checking all carryons with the size-wise thing, AND forcibly checking any bag that didnt easily slip in and out).
