It sounds to me like you are condoning tactics that are not entirely on the up and up. I think a bit more honesty might help us as a society. And honesty can start by keeping your mouth shut when you don't know something instead of making something up to get what you want.
LOUD NOISES!
I am far from an apologist, but you fly enough to know the game, yet you tried to get something extra from the game. Could the gate agent have cared more about your inconsequential issue---sure! Nothing that I would have gotten too worked up about (or asked a supervisor for), especially since I am just ahead $500.
