Yes we've probably all been there and done that.
Understanding the semantics that the aircraft has been directed there by the airport because the aircraft is nightstopping and not because the airline is too tight to shell out a few more Euros for a jetbtidge and is not the fault of the cabin crew. Saw one guy berate a crew member about this at Milan once at which point the crew member turned to him and say "and in other news hundreds of people died in the earthquake not too far from here last week". Not the most professional response I would say but it was sobering enough to shut remote stand complainer up and into touch.
