Stupid Stupid Airline...

I know: bad, bad blogger. I've been busy at work lately, so I haven't had as much time to blog lately. But fear not, I have things to keep you occupied. Such as this LOL funny damn story, which proves life and circumstance writes better comedy than anything sitcom writers could come up with

Isaac Spaceman from the ALOTT5MA site made a fatal error: he chose to fly on an airline. Said airline was United Airline. Thankfully Spaceman saw the humour in it as he was continually disavowed of his assumption that air travel is efficient and bears the best interest of the customer in mind. Here Spaceman presents a letter on behalf of United Airlines to its customers who were stuck at the Reagan National Airport, in a several scenes likely mirrored across North America.
We regret that you maintained good humor, struck friendships with each other, and helped each other out when possible. Had you not been in such better moods than us, we would not have been forced to call in the airport police to maintain order.

We regret that you were upset when the airport police’s first action upon being called to maintain order was to tell you that, to maintain order, we should be shutting down the terminal early and sending you home after six or eight hours in line, but that you could come back and get in line again at 4:00 the following morning. Immediately, order began to dissolve, proving us right. We regret that you disappointed us in this way.
And don't miss the Further Adventures of Spaceman in ANY FOOL CAN MAKE A RULE, AND ANY FOOL WILL MIND IT, as he did as the airline advised and showed up the next day to rebook, only to jump through hoops once again.
