I've had this happen twice on CO. Don't remember which airport the first was at - the GA started to apologize to me for the screaming maniac who pushed ahead of me. I said, "I don't know how you do this all day." Got first.
Second time - full flight at PBI, including wife & kids. They changed equipment & rearranged seat assignments. I asked if it were possible, could they try to at least have one parent/kid. Some other person was screaming that his family was not together... in F. I do believe I got their seats
