I often find elite pax to be worse than the non-elite "gate lice" that many Flyertalkers complain about.
Do I sense some issues here? Is it possible that maybe you don't line up properly? Or that the line is not really that obviously a line? I find this all the time --- Zone 1 or 2 is called and I go to get in line but it's not really a line. After numerous times politely waiting behind someone I thought was in line only to find out their zone hasn't been called yet, I now often just shuffle over to give my boarding pass when there is no obvious line. It seems many of the other Zone 1 or 2's are doing something similer.
Probably I cut in front of you but didn't know it? If I did, sorry. What about all the non-elite that line up in the elite lines? Rude and self-important?
