I know what you mean though - it is possible just to be too

flying first class.

It's the same in some airline lounges. Blink and your half full glass
and plate are whisked away as if this is what you wanted. All that
causes is waste and me being grumpy.

Don't fly first or business class then and you won't have that problem. You
can fly economy and wait in McDonalds like everyone else where you get to
choose when you throw your drinks carton away.

I don't recall passing a McDonalds on the way to the business class lounges
in any airports. Do they offer a choice of gins in their G&Ts? Are the
towels fluffy in their showers? Are their armchairs comfortable?
