Had the pleasure of doing that to someone once. Long line for the left hand side boarding queue. As I was about to reach the boarding attendants, a guy walks straight up to the front of the line past the ~30 of us who had waited in the queue looks at me, holds up his boarding pass and just says "Business Class." I help up my boarding pass and said, "First Class, but after you sir. We all insist." The gate attendants got a kick out of it.
Attendants will always offer to escort F to the front of the line. Flying in J I find the offer is hit and miss. I never take them up on the offer though. I can wait the extra 4 minutes to get on board rather than single myself out as 'more important.' I do find it irritating that CX decided to open priority boarding to MPC Green as the line always looks so long, but it really doesn't take that long once they get it moving.
