Hate when I'm the last to not get upgraded on a flight. Seriously most frustrating experience.

Same, it almost makes me want to track down the others that got upgraded and sabotage one of them to get their seat

Could be waiting on standby for a flight and not get it?

I could think of a few other more frustrating things in life.

As people board with the economy passes their names are taken off the list. So many times it may appear you were "the first person to not be upgraded" but in reality your just "the first person to not be upgraded who is still not boarded".
Nonetheless, it can be frustrating.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
