Thoughts on Airport Idiocy


While waiting for my flight from CHI back to NYC,

I could hardly keep my eyes open I was so tired from the wknd.

Sitting there, half-asleep/half-delirious
from all the wedding awesomeness,

I overheard the United Airlines man
make the following announcement:


"Ladies & Gentlemen who are in need of wheelchair assistance,
please come to the front desk now as we are ready to assist you"


Hmmmmmmmmmm

The newfound New Yorker in me wanted to say to him,
"Ummmm, are you an idiot?!
Isn't the entire point of needing wheelchair assistance
that you can't walk?!?!
Why don't
you go to them?!? A-hole!!"

But the tried-and-true Midwesterner in me
politely kept my mouth shut and rolled my eyes.


Airports ...
Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em ;)
