OK more background to the story...
1) I had
purchased a ticket, but due to unforeseen circumstances, missed my original flight. Delta was gracious enough to put me and my buddy on standby for the next flight. It was a vacation-related trip; not standby for commuting or such. I was just a normal pax.
2) I made sure to courteously move the man's laptop out of the way before stowing my bag. If you had heard the patronizing tone in his voice and been in my shoes, it would have been difficult not to have felt the same indignation.
...but yeah, I can see how my story can be read as being a d*ck when traveling standby. I'm sure I'm the only one on here who has "tool" on his record
