I almost had to open a can of whoop ass....
Since I'm flying to Key West I not only have a layover I have to get my checked bag and then re-check in because I have to go through another airline. I don't know why I checked in a bag, I only had a small bag but I'm so used to doing it and I hate carrying around a bag with me. I didn't think anything of it. I have an hour layover, which turns out is not so much time when you leave a few minutes late and then it takes FOREVER for your bag to come out and then while your ticket says United on it which is in the same terminal it is ACTUALLY a Continental flight which is in terminal 1 and you are in terminal three so you start hoofing it to the other terminal because it would take too long to wait for a shuttle and go all the way around. I have a blister on my foot AND I was sweating, my body is not used to moving that fast, LOL. I get there and go up to the woman who is directing the line. I have 20 minutes until my flight, she says I'm not going to make it and to get in line. So I get in line to check in and the guy is like you're not going to make it get in that line to book another flight. By this time I am pissed. This is ridiculous! So I wait in this slow ass moving line and this family cuts in front of me to tell the guy at the desk that their flight leaves in 5 minutes can they get on it still and he picks up the phone, prints them some tickets and tells them to run. Remember how pissed I was waiting in line? That doesn't even begin to describe how I feel at this point. I am so mad my voice is quivering. And do you know what he says to me? Why didn't you say anything? I was like, hello, I told her, I told him and they both said you're too late!!! So he prints me off a boarding pass and I run through security just to find out my plane is not even here yet! I can't believe they were going to have me miss my flight. I think I may finally calm down when I land in Key West but for now I'm still fuming. So I came here to vent, of course, LOL. I'll be happy for the 14 hour drive home, I'm done with flying for awhile!
6 Mannions Speak :
Wow Chick, that stinks. I'm glad you witnessed the other family getting their tickets or you might have missed your flight.
How long are you going to get to stay in Key West?
I want to see ALL the naughty pics you took in Vegas.
BAM
Damn L! You were actually moving fast AND sweating?!? LMFAO! Sorry, I just had to laugh at that.
I know what you mean about shitty flights. BTDT yesterday. I think you've seen enough airport for awhile. LOL.
Hope you get back home soon. I miss you loads.
I would have been fuming too chic, when I go to the freaking airport, the last thing I want is to put up with any bullshit. Good job keeping your cool! I hope the rest of the trip is smooth and bump free
OMG did you say almost opened a can of whoop ass???
I almost opened a can just reading about that!!! And I don't even have anyone here I can whoop on.
Okay so I'm normally really good at giving ppl a break when they make mistakes. Like I when the waitress brings the wrong meal or something. I politely tell them about it and what they can do to fix things for me. I'm pretty smooth and tactful so I tend to get things my way. HOWEVER I do not suffer fools. And those ppl where world class idiots! Hopefully the pilots have their heads out of their asses better than those twats.
I want to go yell at them myself now. The nerve of them making you run and sweat, cause they are too stupid to know what is what in their own place of work. I hate sweating.
Oh gee then you had to sit there during your flight stinking and sticky! ewww.....
I want to have some cards made up that say "Congrats Jackass! You have been selected as Nitwit Of The Day! Now that you have been awarded this title, please remove your head from your ass, so that others may have a chance to be selected in the future!" Then even when you are in a hurry you can quickly pass one out to a particularly dumb person who pisses you off. And the beauty of it is....if you go around to different places, you can pass them out all day long! It won't really fix anything, but you will feel better knowing you told the dolt what was on your mind w/out making a scene! LOL
BAM, I'm heading home today so I should be home tomorrow night. Looks like you'll have to make plans to come visit, LOL.
Well, I didn't actually RUN to the terminal, I just walked briskly, LOL. But I did sort of jog when I got past security, now I know better! I miss you too!!!
The rest of the trip was great Aimee. I just opened my book and I was there before I knew it. I was calm by the time I told Karen my tales of woe, LOL.
LMAO Tammy. Thank you for being pissed for me! I'm a sweater but I don't like to sweat due to excercise, LOL. Luckily, I'm not a stinky sweater so my fellow passengers did not have to suffer:)
L, I did open a can on my way home...though I opened it my style.
No shouting, just cold and scary
I was in the same situation as you, told two morons my situation, was ignored, then demanded the manager.
She gave me a boarding pass ten minutes before departure, then escorted me through Immigration, walked me onto the plane, held my bag and begged me not to let S write a snarky letter.
Of course, by then I felt sorry for her, so I said we wouldn't write a letter, Simon still wants to though!
Air travel sux large. But I am glad u got home and away again safely.
