I flew back from Palermo to Zurich on Monday. Exceptionally in business class (essentially same price).

A pretty well known German performer was also on the flight with his companion and - I assume - his favorite microphone.

The gentleman was meticulously polite, including the fact that he queued up at the gate instead of jumping the queue with about a dozen economy passengers in the queue.

Not every prominent person is an asshole.

Even prominent people can have a bad day or have other momentary hassles to deal with that might make them behave less than gracious on occasion. Trying to be generous here.

Whether you're talking about rich or poor, famous or not, educated or not - there are good and bad people.

Our instinct is to make assumptions like 'rich so asshole', and there may be correlations between some of those categories and rate of occurrence of good and bad, but the differences are small compared to the normal panoply of personality types.
