Scene From An Airport

It's 0700 and I have arrived at RSW for my 0745 flight after the fourth annual FMB Beer Olympics, in which I won the Kerry Strugg award. I have appealed. I'm standing in front of the computer-check-yourself-in-so-we-can-hire-less-employees-but-still-charge-you-more kiosk. At first it attempts to charge me $20 for my seat. Seeing as how I had already paid for it, I was not having it. I ask for help from the Airtran man. He says to just come over to his station and he'll do it for me. Great.

Airtran Man: "You're going to miss your flight."

Munchkin: "I have forty-five minutes and this is RSW."

Airtran Man: "No, your next flight. This flight is delayed and you're going to miss your connection. I'm booking you on the next flight out of Atlanta."

Munchkin: "Ok, what time is that flight?"

Airtrain Man: "5:30 this evening."

Munchkin: "WHAT?!?!?! Are you flipping kidding me?"

Airtran Man: "No ma'am."

Munchking: "Ok, I realize this is not your fault but right now I'm going to yell for just a little bit."

Airtran Man: "Here is a $10 meal voucher good at any airport since you will be stuck in one all day."

Munchkin: "Ok."

Airtrain Man: "And here is a $25 travel coupon the next time you fly with Airtran."

Munchkin: "Alright."

Airtran Man: "And here is a free round trip ticket to anywhere in the United States to be used within one year from today."

Munchkin: "You know what? I'm not even mad, just slightly inconvenienced."

After getting to my terminal and settling in for a nap on the floor I called Big Bad to inform him of my delay (which happens one way or another every time I fly).

Big Bad: "I don't know why you still fly."

Munchkin: "Me either, but I bet I do it at least once more."
