Is that a real Rolex? It better be or else I'm going to find that guy to get my $20 back!

But seriously, on a recent NW flight I was upgraded at the last moment and they wanted to close the door and I was not given a new boarding pass for 4F. I was challenged by the FA (not in the most polite manner but, hey, we're talking NW here). She had the pilot get confirmation before we pulled back (God forbid they should have briefly opened the door) and returned to lamely apologize stating, "People try to sit here all the time and I just wanted to check." I blew it off but probably could have made a bit of a stink about it. I know the FA job is tough. I always go out of my way to be EXTRA nice to them when I am up front because I notice how many people ARE NOT! It is usually people that have paid the full fare (or more accurately, their company/client) as us FT'ers would never stoop that low.
