I did see a quite amusing one in Seville the other week. Well signed lines for the BA flight (business desk with totem of all who are eligible) and then general line. As is people's want a queue formed for business line quite early even though ground contractor will be paid to do about 2 hours or so pre-flight. They opened up at about 2.5 hours out from departure.

Happily stood in the business queue as we advanced along with a full A321 CE load plus status pax, a man in blazer and hat with wife in tow and gold tags on his bags arrives and rolls himself round the queue to front left of the tensa barrier (1A and 1C for those who wish to know). There is an exchange of looks between him and a few of us at which point he just says he is in business. There were a few people in front of us and almost collectively it was politely pointed out this was the priority queue. A repeat of but I am in business/status ensued, to which there was a semi collective so are we. The reply of oh so you mean we have to join the back was met with a yes afraid so and a point to where it was.

I just found it quite amusing and mean no ill to the gent concerned with whom I did have a pleasant chat waiting for bags at LGW, but I do wonder how he thought it was going to play out any other way.
