I think it has something to do with the tendancy people have to think THEIR situation is special, when it is just like anyone elses.

I see alot of that on FT. It is very common for those complaining about an incident with an airline to highlight the purpose of their trip as being critical and that the airline should have taken that into account. For example, a common newbie complaint is that a flight was cancelled (even when due to weather) and that they were late for their sister's wedding as a result..or that they ended up late for a very important biz meeting..or that it ruined their honeymoon. It's like police taking statements..they want just the facts, but the witnesses always say something more like moral judgements and dance around the facts. Complainers talk about the "condescending attiude of the agent", or get up in arms when they split itineraries across 3 airlines and the airlines did not commnicate to each other that the pax was delayed The fact is, as the COC states, the airlines are only responsible for getting the pax from point A to point B, not for weighing the import of the trip for the passenger. They don't (and are not obligated to) care if you are going to your sister's wedding, going to a convention, or are on your honeymoon.

It is a great peeve of mine to see folks either here on FT or on the airplanes suggest that it being their anniversary or honeymoon entitles them to a free UG. There are hundreds of thousands of people who pass through each airline each day, and thousands of them are ALSO on their honeymoon or anniversary...in a crowd, what is special is actually mundane.

And no, I am not giving up my aisle seat to you because you are newlyweds who somehow could not sit together.

Those who like this crap..and let's face it, it's mostly Kettles and that low rent airline "Southworst" that they fly...and are not exposed to it constantly have no idea how annoying it is to be awakned or startled by useless announcements constantly. I want as much peace and quiet as possible. I don't care that it's the anniversary of some peon, and nobody else but that peon does either. It is NOT levity. It's annoying.

As an airline employee, I am sure you have developed interesting ways of saying No.
