Again..its not the getting stranded part that bothers me. Thats life in the world of travel sometimes. It was the way many of the employees treated me that got me irked. I've been stranded before, will be stranded again, but will never tolerate the poor service I received the other day.....

I don't think there is anything wrong to ask politely for an upgrade .... AA troubled you for 3 days. Not that they wanted to trouble you .. it just happened...
I understand your feelings. What troubles you, was the bad, poor service; AA treated you not well! But they should have! I would say: you had the wrong AA agents at the wrong time at the wrong place (to handle such events).
BTW, that could have happened with any airline. I had some unpleasant "moments"
with Delta agents at Houston International Airport (arriving from South America on a CO flight very early on a Sunday morning)
