I agree - in fact, I was thinking of just such a post myself.
Fire alarm goes off - "how many points am I entitled to?" Not, "should I be compensated" or "should I ask about compensation" - What am I owed.
I have no problem sending back a poorly cooked meal, or asking to be moved when a barking dog kept me awake a few weeks ago - I was moved, but I didn't even think of asking for "compensation".
Sadly, the squeaky wheel syndrome is alive and well and it perpetuates the process.
Suck it up, stuff happens.
