What emerges in these moments is a masterclass in the psychology of privilege, where the inability to skip ahead becomes a personal affront worthy of extended theatrical performance. These are people who've spent so long insulated from inconvenience that three hours of standard airport procedure feels like cruel and unusual punishment. They'll loudly broadcast their financial superiority while simultaneously refusing to pay for the very service that would solve their problem, because the real issue isn't the wait, it's that other people aren't automatically deferring to their imagined importance.

The aided line gambit represents the natural evolution of entitled thinking: if you can't buy your way out, simply redefine the rules to suit your needs. Suddenly, every minor ache becomes an inability, every family member requires assistance, and moral boundaries become suggestions rather than guidelines. The real abnormality, of course, is the complete inability to function when the world doesn't revolve around you.

And there our Aruba family stood, eight people deep in borrowed victimhood, smugly parading past the unwashed masses while two mortified husbands contemplated the life choices that led them to this fluorescent-lit walk of shame. Even their post-security café tantrum felt inevitable, some people simply cannot exist without a captive audience for their disappointment.
