a friend and boss of mine was traveling by airplane, when a man came up to the check in counter and demanded that they change his seat. the employee informed him that that was impossible because the flight was full. the man proceeded to throw a fit and finally begin to yell at the employee “do you know who I am?” at least 3 or 4 times each time getting louder and attracting everyone’s attention in the waiting area. the employee finally picked up the mic and announced over the intercom “attention everyone. we have a person here at the counter that doesn’t know who they are. can anyone help this man identify himself?” to which the whole area burst into laughter and the man, who apparently wasn’t as well known as he thought he was, slunk away. true story. and probably the best example I’ve ever heard of how to handle a pompous idiot.
