Had to share...

Once again, I'm sitting at the airport. I got settled in the boarding/waiting area and all of a sudden I hear "Damnit" really loud. I look to see where it was coming from and this blonde, size zero, big boob, 5'8", heavily made-up lady is walking very quickly to the podium at the gate. I knew I was in for a treat.

She proceeds to yell and I mean yell at the attendant that she missed her flight. Her flight departed at 1:05 and she got to the gate at 1:07. The whole free world knows that a 1:05 departure means the plane leaves the gate, not you can board up until that last minute. But she continues to yell that it is Southwest's fault that she has missed her flight. The attendant just stares which is just making her more upset. So she asks when the next flight is - over two hours from now - and she really gets livid. They figure out she can fly to Orange County instead of LAX on an earlier flight so she pulls out her cell phone right there and begins cursing to whomever she is talking to while still standing at the counter! F-bombs dropping like crazy. And of course, there is a difference in fare which completely sends her over the edge! Oh, I love the airport!

Funny!!

I always thought of most airports as 3rd world countries... you almost expect to see chickens and other livestock being loaded onto your plane...

I worked quite a bit over the holidays. People are amazing!!! They definately come out of the wood work. I almost had to kick 2 girls off today, because they wouldn't do anything that was asked of them. And you KNOW that if I had done that, I would've been accused of being "old" and "jealous" because they were too pretty!! I just smiled my best "grandmotherly" smile!!
