I'm Not Opinionated

Overheard in the airport

As I was coming home from my Thanksgiving visit to California last Sunday I overheard two great conversations in the airport. The first happend when I was standing in line at the ticket counter to check my bags on US Air. When it was her turn she asked the guys at the counter if they were handling the desk for a competing airline which was dark. They replied no and that they had already closed their counter for the day. The girl looked at her travel companion and said I guess if you are five minutes late for a flight they won't let you on. I tried hard to keep from laughing out loud. The plane had left five minutes earlier and they hadn't even checked their bags - and somehow it was the airline's fault.

The other incident occured while waiting for my connection. It was getting late - passed the time we should have boarded. Finally the two flight attendants walked up and I swear to you they were 75 years old if they were a day. I thought to myself that we have the flight attendants in the world. After they got on the jetway, the people working the counter were doing their best to get the plane off on time. One of them commented that the reason they were late is that the flight attendants were late and another quickly commented that it was because they were old - I almost died right there!
