Not so much comments, but actions.
This guy across the aisle spent the entire flight with his headphones plugged into the power socket. Assuming he couldn't hear anything anyway, I don't know why he kept them on for 4 hours!

Might they have been noise-cancelling headphones? Don't need to be listening to anything for them to be useful.

One Bose model had rechargeable batteries. Not sure if you actually plugged in the headphones to charge them though.

After explaining to a friend that her Alaska Air flight from LAX-MIA was a code share and actually operated by American Airlines she still showed up to the wrong terminal and missed her flight. Fortunately American was nice enough to put her and a friend on the next flight departing about 30 minutes later.

I was at the first class check in at LGA and the person in line in front of me strides to the front with a real DYKWIA attitude and announces he is on a flight leaving in about 30 minutes. The agent says that isn't much time and he says, that is okay we are in first class and hands the agent a print out of the itinerary. She looks at it and says, "sir, this flight is out of JFK, you will have to go there for rebooking, next in the first class line please".

Did she get stuck in a middle seat 10 rows from her companion and pester people to trade seats?

I don't know if this was out of the ordinary..
I was checking in for my UA flight a couple days ago and asked the Executive First check-in agent while he was dealing with another passenger check-in.. Amex Plat member.. can we check-in with Executive? He said no..
Then after he was done.. he called me over and asked.. United Platinum you? and I said no Aeroplat Amex.. he didn't say anything.. proceeded to check me in.. and we ended up getting Economy Plus in the 8th row.^

2) I'm in security at FLL, the line is about 10min long. I'm next in line and some guy with wife and 3 kids (strollers!!!!) comes up and pushes to the front and says: "We have a plane to catch."
Because the rest of us are there for the Terminal 2 Cinnabon.
Best part: he gets "randomly selected for additional screening" as the people he cut pass right by. I'd like to say I didn't snicker, but I am not that strong of a person
