The man ahead of me in the queue approached the flight check-in lady behind the counter. They spoke for a few seconds before he roared, “I booked an eight-hour flight!”
The check-in lady patiently replied, “There are no eight-hour flights, sir. Maybe you misread?”
He cussed and swore, spittle flying in her face.
“There is no need to speak like that, sir.”
He continued to swear as he waddled away.
When it was my turn, I asked her, “How do you put up with people like that?”
She grinned. “He is going to London, and his bags are going to Sydney.”
Love it
Hello TJ,
Well-contrived plot. So, lost luggage is a function of human retaliation for rude behavior. Sweet!!
Ha! Real petty. Loved it!
That’s an old joke:
A man approaches the check-in desk with three pieces of luggage. “I want this one to go to London, this one to Sydney, and this one to Hong Kong.”
The patient dsesk clerk looks at him and says, “Sir, we can’t do that.”
He replies, “Why not? You did it last week.”
Have not heard that. Brought a smile on a much needed rainy day.
when I was a teen, an airline lost all my luggage. a year later they found it and had the gall to demand I pay a huge storage fee. I was too ignorant to realize I could contest it, so lost all my books, journals, and memorabilia
Very funny and well told.
Good one.
You know what they say about karma… :> Great job.
