Here at LineLogic, we realize our industry is often considered boring and uneventful, and we’d be lying if we told you we don’t partially agree. However, every now and then, we hear or do something that spices things up a bit. And we always enjoy sharing this stuff with you!
Today, it’s a joke we found on KillSomeTime.com.
The joke is called “Waiting in Line.” It goes as follows…
A crowded United Air Lines flight was cancelled. A single agent was assigned to re-book a long line of unhappy, inconvenienced travelers. She was doing her best when suddenly an angry customer pushed his way to her desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and shouted: “I don’t want to stand in line. I HAVE to be on this flight, it has to be FIRST CLASS, and and it has to be RIGHT NOW!”
The young agent replied, “I’m sorry, sir, I’ll try to help you, but I’ve got to help these folks first. I’m sure we’ll be able to work things out for you.” The angry passenger was unimpressed and unrelenting. He shouted loudly, so that all the passengers could hear, “I don’t want to stand in line! Do you have any idea who I am?”
Without hesitation, the agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. “May I have your attention, please,” her voice bellowed through the terminal. “We have a passenger here WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him identify himself, please come to the gate.”
With the crowd laughing hysterically, he glared at her and swore “Screw you!”
Without flinching, she smiled and replied, “I’m sorry, sir, but you’ll have to stand in line for that as well!”
