Sitting in 1B on a long haul yesterday (that unbeknownst to me at the time was going to become 2 hours longer due to weather) and overhead a FA conversation that gave me a good chuckle.
When the boarding door closed, one seat in FC was open. The FA looked at the upgrade list and sought out the #1 waitlisted Medallion member seated back in 23F to let him know he could move to first class. She approached him just as the 'turn off your cell phones' message was completed. He happened to be on his cell phone, when she spoke up to offer him the seat all she got out was "Sir...". He went ballistic, yelling at her that he was on an important call, he'd get off the damn phone when he was done, and to get off his back.
She proceeded to tell #2 on the list the FC seat was open for him to take.
