Worse is the GA who uses the PA to *chastise* you.

After a flight or two out of the cattle-call JJ gates at CLE, where they DO NOT have the blue carpet, and where I had flights boarding as I walked up and not posted as boarding so I sat down like a good little traveler, I now ask what's boarding.

I did this and had the GA get on PA and make a very snide announcement to not bother them with stupid questions as to what flight was boarding, all you have to do is look at the monitor to tell.

Of course I took great pleasure in walking back up and telling her that of the BOTH flights she was currently boarding NEITHER was listed on their cute little monitor.
