Guess it's better than when someone drops their bags off in front of you while you're waiting curbside for the hotel van and asks you to check their bags to their destination thinking you are a skycap (and yes, this has happened). :rolleyes: Or, when strolling through terminal of some large international airport (looking for food) and someone comes up to you out of breath and frantically asking which gate their flight goes out of, as if I have a current mental rolodex of every flight coming and going....:bang: Boxes don't ask questions......
I was yelled at by a Southwest passenger when jumpseating once outside smoking because I wasn't at the sky cap stand. Lady pulled at my arm and threw her bags down telling me I needed to check them and they were already late. Because, Southwest.


Also, today a lady in the garage asked how to get to US Airbus. I told her I would show her, and along the way she started arguing with me about how to get there. Wanted to just leave and go check my bag, but figured I'd just let her rant and wait for her to follow. Not so much as a thank you either.

See, this is one reason we are having kids. If we teach our daughter to navigate an airport terminal without stopping to ask for directions every 10 feet or throwing a tantrum, I figure we will have improved the world for the next generation.
