Over 16,534,050 people are on fubar.
What are you waiting for?
1. A woman asked for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.
(On an airplane!)
2. A man, who wanted to go to Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me with, ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts .
Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained, ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in Africa ''
His response -- click.
3. A man furious about a Florida package we did. I asked what
was wrong with the vacation in Orlando. He said he was
expecting an ocean-view room. I tried to explain that's not
possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.
He replied, 'don't lie to me, I looked on the map and Florida
is a very thin state!'' (OMG)
4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, ''Is it possible
to see England from Canada ?''
I said, ''No.''
She said, ''But they look so close on the map.'' (OMG, again!)
5. An man once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas.
I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour
layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car,
he said, ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car
to drive between gates to save time.'' (Aghhhh)
6. An Illinois woman called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 am, and got to Chicago at 8:33am.
I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones. Finally, I told her
the plane went fast, and she bought that.
7. A New Yorker called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?'' I said, 'No, why do you ask?'
He replied, ''Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a
tag on my luggage that said (FAT), and I'm overweight. I think
that's very rude!''
After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked
into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and
explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.
8. A man called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii.
After going over all the cost info, she asked, ''Would it be cheaper
to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?''
9. I just got off the phone with a man, from Ala, who asked,
''How do I know which plane to get on?''
I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied,
''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes
have numbers on them.''
10. A woman called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola,
Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''
I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola, FL, on a commuter plane.
She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!''
11. A woman called and had a question about the documents
she needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion
about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa. 'Oh, no
I don't. I've been to China many times and never had to have
one of those.''
I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa.
When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China 4 times
and every time they have accepted my American Express!''
12. A New Jersey man (called to make reservations, ''I want to
go from Chicago to Rhino, New York .''
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's
the name of the town?''
'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.
After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've
looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a
rhino anywhere."
''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where
it is. Check your map!''
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered,
''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''
The reply? ''Whatever! I knew it was a big animal.''
