Flying first class and not coach, why?

I always recline fully throughout the whole flight. I get yelled at for doing it too early - before the cruising altitude is reached, but I still do it. Sorry guys. It's me you can direct your anger towards.
 
The whole experience makes it well worth it. You also get your bags first, so you can get a cab before anyone else...that alone can save up to an hour after arrival.

Oh bother... Bill Gates and Warren Buffett both fly coach all the time. Any other reason to fly business/first class (save medical conditions) is just bragging about how tiny our (business) bank account really is.

Why are these two freaks always held up as some kind of example? It's normal to live well if you can afford to.

Hey guy, it's OK... that's why biz class with worthwhile.

But, it is kinda off-putting when you get your plastic cup of ice with about 2 ounces of Diet Coke on your tray table, and the guy's scalp in front of you is hovering about 8 inches above your drink.

Reminds me of when H Ross Perot was running for Prez. He said he flys coach, so he can't understand why the Prez can't fly coach to save taxpayers money. Then, of course, journalists did some sniffing around and found out he flys on his private jet.
