Could my story be DYKWIA In Reverse? Mrs T. and I were taking an Austrian flight VIE-LHR in Business en route home in October. The gate area was pandamonium with a full flight with gate staff even measuring people's carryons etc etc. Finally the call went out for Business Class and Star Golds to board but a "lady" in front of us refused to let us through. We waited and tried to inch forward around her but despite seeing what we were trying to do, she refused to move. In the end, I quietly leaned forward and politely asked her to move aside as they were calling us for Business Class and she turned on me and yelled at the top of her voice "of course you are, of course you're Business Class!" and stood her ground. At that point, I lost my patience, and pushed my way past her realising that good manners were wasted on this individual. She probably though that I was just another bl**dy DYKWIA.....
