Innocent abroad

The  Man Who Would Be Twain flies to London:

I am an American and certain things irritate me extremely, such as British flight attendants asking to see your boarding pass as you board. You hold it up and they peer at it and smile and say, "Twenty-six D -- that's straight ahead and on your left," as if you were an utter demented drooling feckless idjit unaware that the low-numbered seats are up front and the higher numbers toward the rear.

Garrison, I too am an American. Guess what irritates me extremely. (Hint: "Feckless idjit" isn't far off.)
