I agree. I offered my BP, and he said for all four of us to just hang out by the desk during boarding. Fat chance, especially since he said the flight was only over by one.

When my wife and kids boarded, he was questioning why they were boarding.

To add to the irony, after final boarding was called, he called out my name (and the jerk who missed the flight). I thought it was to start the VDB process; then the other GA yells, "No! He's my volunteer!"
