I guess we need to start holding hands when we board the plane, because looking at your boarding pass is just waaaaaaaay too complicated.
And I lol'd reading your little story. I think we all have had some experience or another where someone insisted on boarding when they were not supposed to and it ending in a very publicly humiliating way.
I will even admit I made the mistake when flying some super-cheap airline that shall remain nameless (it rhymes with Shmallegiant Shmairlines) since their boarding process/pecking order is about as logical as *insert your favorite metaphor*.
