Has anyone ever had someone say this to them in a real life situation? It just sounds like a blood boiling phrase.

Yes, but in Chicago and there was a threat behind it. I wasn't mad but trying to get out of the situation.

I'm not asking for special treatment... I just don't want to be treated like a regular person.

Fuck that guy.

Yup! Used to work at a place where this guy was high up and did have pull since he sold a lot to clients. Everyone hated him, it was like instead of introducing himself his default statement was "do you know who I am?" And most did not which I think angered him more... as someone who worked in IT this guy was the worst person to call and deal with. I have no clue how anyone can get to a point in life where they think this is in any way acceptable... hearing it here brought back so many awful memories, nobody should have to deal with being talked down to and especially for just doing there dam job. Glad to read in the comments they weren't as liked as he thought he was and lost.

Very often in my previous job, default answer would usually be something along the line of "You could be the Pope and I still wouldn't treat you any different than anyone else." or "Someone that shits in a toilet like everyone else here."

You can tell I'm the best at de-escalation!
