There does seem to be a divide amongst the flying public: those who accept the complexities of mass travel, understanding that of all the thousands of things that need to perform flawlessly, occasionally one of them may go wrong, versus those who seek to be enriched by any hiccup in their travel plans.
Delayed a day or missed a connection? Seek compensation for your incurred costs as per legislated or airline goodwill standards.
Bedtime delayed by an hour? Even the most hard-nosed passenger compensation advocates might have a snicker at your expense.
