Kind of like this story ;D
For all Employees Who Work With Rude Customers
An award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been withdrawn from service. A single attendant
was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk.
He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, 'I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS'.
The attendant replied, 'I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out..'
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, 'DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?'
Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone: 'MAY I have your attention please, may I have your attention please,' she began - her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. 'We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14.'
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, 'F**k you!'
Without flinching, she smiled and said, (I love this bit)...............
'I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to get in line for that too.'

superb!
was flying to denmark a few years back and the bloke in front of us and a colleague obviously thought he was a cut above the rest of us mere mortals.
Read about 5 newspapers and scrunched them in a ball and threw them by his feet when he'd finished. Gave the attendants crap the whole flight. much to their and my annoyance.
5 minutes before starting to descend one attendant finally had enough and after pretending to trip spilt half a glass of milk over the bloke. walked past him then winked at my and my mate
