A woman came up and walked around all of us and up to the agent with her BP out. Mind you the departure sign said "Pre-Boarding". The agent told her boarding hadn't started yet. I took a glance at her BP and she was in Euro Traveler with no status. Not sure why she thought that got her pre-boarding or why she thought that the people obviously waiting to board were not entitled to but she was.
