Mine usually isn't in Y (I buy cheap). F is almost always available (upgraded via RUC).
Too many agents don't understand that a RUC upgrade is paid F and eligible to SDC to any flight with F available.
And I've had a RUC upgrade screwed up (agent just changed my fare class and gave me a seat in F, didn't bother applying the RUC. When I attempted to SDC there were numerous interesting failure modes.)

Delta fare class hierarchy in coach is Y, B, M, H, Q, K, L, U, T, X, V. Q is well above T.

The ingredients on the back are water and 3 different names for salt. No wonder it never really quenches my thirst.

When I ask for sparkling water, some FAs bring soda water instead, without asking.

I usually enter the SkyClub once I get to my destination for a quick coffee and as I'm leaving the lounge an employee always says "enjoy your flight" or something along those lines- completely inappropriate for someone whose travels are finished for the day. Leaving JFK today, I had at least four DL employees say that to me - the lady who cleans tables, the lady at the top of the esalator who pours drinks, and two of the ladies at the bottom wish me a "safe flight"!! Arghhhhh - thank God for this thread so I can vent

Once a year I buy a single box of Thin MInts from the Girl Scouts in front of Publix. I point out the printing error on the box "Servings per box: 8" I explain the correct number is One. Because they are too young to understand the concept of The Munches, I get a very puzzled look from the young cookie sellers..

Why doesn't Delta.com show you all results when you are searching for flights--rather than making you ask to see more results (rhetorical question 
)
Of course I trust DL not to hide flights that are less expensive than those offered on the first 'page' that might save me a load of cash for relatively small inconvenience
.
And then you have to start from the top of the list, rather than picking up where you left off. Truly annoying
