Do any of you have similar experiences? Do you think this thread will get 24,000 views? Do you even care?

You want respect yet you're put off when someone addresses you as Sir or Mr, what do you want?
As for people cutting in front of you. I believe it is more so that other elites are trying to wade through the "non-elite" people that immediate get in line to board. Many congregate in the elite line that shouldn't be there and I ask if they are first or elites as I do not want to cut in front of another elite/first, never not thinking they couldn't be elites. And how do you know what other people are thinking?
