Wanna hear something kinda funny?
At the airport yesterday (our small town airport), i arrived just after 'check-in' closed (long story getting there), i watched them start to board my plane and just wanted to get on the line. They saud they might be able to help and made me wait, and wait... while I waited for someone to get off their ass and check me in, time was a-wastin' and i became more agitated yust watching security on their radio trying to get someone to come.
Anyway, got the jack of it and chucked my carryon bag on the rollers for X-Ray to just join the line to board. I ran through the X-Ray with my phone, had to run that back, then the rollers stopped with my bag in there... and everyone was just standing around in slow motion doing NOTHING! (getting paid). By this time i think i was losing it to actually say out loud "doesnt anyone actually WORK here! - i just wanna get on THAT little plane just there!"
Yep, all I wanted to do was get on the plane only meters away. When I gave the X-Ray guy 'the look'. he tells me "you have scissors in here". They always confuse my nail clippers for scissors so I said "No?" secretly wishing he'd just grow a brain! And instructed him to "just take it out".
Then he gestures to a lady standing behind me holding a folder. As she approached me I saidsaid "I just want to get on that planeplane, right there" No she quietly said, "check in has closed". "OKOK" I said, "what will it take - another $500, I just wanna join those people just there, getting on my plane" and "if I can't get on that plane there, I'm leaving"
Out the corner of my eye I noticed the X-Ray guy putting my bag back outside, without trying to get the invisible scissors out 😞 Clearly the decision was made, but...
I really knew I was in trouble when the folder lady stepped closer and said;
"IF YOU COULD JUST CALM DOWN"
...
I hate myself right now 😕
