Scenario - I'm in full uniform at an utterly empty gate, working on one of the computers, trying to pull up some pilot stuff on the printer. Out of the corner of my eye, I see a passenger peel off the main terminal hallway and make a beeline for me, because I can obviously help them with their seating, upgrade, or perhaps simply know via some sort of Zen Osmosis that "Yes, this is indeed the gate for Honolulu this afternoon."

Am I a tool for hating on this person? I believe I am, but I can't help it. I'm always polite, but I'm running out of stock, comic phrases like "They don't trust me with that part of the system" and at the blank stare, I have to add "I'm a pilot, not an agent. There will be an agent to help you about an hour prior to your departure, which is 3 hours from now."

Tell them you are an ITT graduate moonlighting to pick up some extra cash.

We've all been there. Just don't stop and check anything in the terminal unless it's time critical for you. So much better to walk a few hundred yards to a crew room and see what you have to see there.

Passenger play book rule#32 -"Any crew member seen motionless in hall for 30 seconds or more, is fair game.
