Those of us who get to do it often enough that we start complaining about it should probably take our injuries with a grain of salt.
So true. Mother taught me long ago I could get worked up over lots of things in life. However she told me that before I do so, I should consider the issue from the viewpoint of someone less fortunate. Unless it's something they'd get worked up over, it's probably not worth the cost the higher blood pressure will cost you. Try to follow that rule with everything. However sometimes it's easy to forget what's your normal isn't what's normal for the vast majority of humans.

I know some people whose first statement would probably be how this isn't even first class, only business and would be shocked someone could make such a mistake.
