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.....
Love that reversal! As you said: good manners lost on her...
