Unfortunately, ordering a special meal is indeed a (very selfish) way to be served a bit sooner.

What a lousy assumption on your part. I order special meals when I fly. I order because my religion has dietary restrictions. --I either order or bring my own--and then you'd complain if I bought something that smelled! Some order special meals due to legitimate allergies. Maybe you order special to get served sooner. BUT, to excuse others of that... inappropriate and rude!
