I can't tell if you're being serious or sarcastic?
Recently while flying in 1K, the FA came over and asked if I could put up my shades for take off because the man in 1H REALLY wanted it up. OK fine. As soon as we were at cruising altitude I closed it again and he went a bit bonkers. He wanted the FA to force me to either leave my window open or swap seats with him. He kept saying "I am Global Service".
That DYKWIA attitude didn't get him very far -- she didn't even bother to ask me. (I would not have done it anyway)
