During a busy pre-Christmas day at an International
Airport, a crowded flight was cancelled. A single agent was re-booking
a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way
to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said,
"I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be
happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these folks first,
and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He SCREAMED,
so that the passengers behind him could hear, "Do you have ANY
idea who I am?"
Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled
and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention
please?" she began, her voice bellowing throughout the terminal.
"We have a passenger here at the
gate WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find
his identity, please come to gate 17."
With the folks behind him in line laughing
hysterically, the man glared at the airline agent, gritted his
teeth and swore, "Screw you."
Without flinching, she smiled and replied,
"I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand in line for that, too."
