Are Airports frustrating to you too? Tell me about it !!?

Question

I went through security and they took my 2 in. pen knife. The lady in front of me had 1 and 1/2 inch finger nails, 10 of them that were more dangerous that my tiny knife.Imagine the damage she could inflict with those claws.
Then at the ticket counter the gal looked at me wierd when I told her I wanted a plain plane ticket. Then she wanted to know how I wanted to fly. On the plane I told her, with a plain plane ticket. First Class she asked, No mam I am not mailing a letter, she shook her head and said Business ? No mam I going for pleasure I said. Oh you want to go by coach ? No, Mam I want to fly. So she indignantly sold me a plain plane ticket, like I asked for in the first place.
Next thing she says is do you want to check your baggage ? By this time I am upset and tell her the reason I am going to Omaha is to meet this chick I met on Yahoo Personals and the first thing she wanted was to check and make sure I didn't have any baggage. I finally made it to Omaha carrying my bag.

And don't even ask ! Ha! Ha!
What happens in Omaha, stays in Omaha.

I am sorry you have taken this as serious. It is all in jest.
About confusing try reading it out loud.

Answer 1

Hiya,asmikeo...! I think your ? is funny, and it scanned easily to me..... My, everybody is GRIM today.... But the big thing I want to know is: "How'd it go in Omaha??" (?Omaha??!?) Ah, well. As to airport frustration: BEFORE September 11th, WAAAY before, (before I quit flying, in the '70s when Ronny fired the Controllers... bah!) I knew what/who was contolling the traffic then-preferred not to die in a mid-air...- They were confusing! The most confusing I have every been in is here at home; our very own Sky Harbor! It used to be very small (2 terminals; -l commercial, one air-frieght; never had a reason to visit airfrieght...) And then, BAMMO! Suddenly we are an "International" Airport, (ok, rah, growth) and they built two terminals on the other side of Airport Lane. Hugh! terminals. The -you should pardon the expression- "roads" are a maze! IF you get to either of the terminals, the parking, short term, (I have NEVER had a reason to leave my car in a long-term lot) are absolutely impossible! I'm not kidding; they have (had?) guys in little carts that used to drive you around trying to find the numbered spot you parked in. THEY couldn't find it either! The toll booths on the way out where you pay for using their !#$%! space practically went broke, 'cause no way was anyone going to pay for 3 hours of SHORT TERM parking, when they had been looking for their car for 2 hours and fourty-five minutes! GAAAGH! Nowdays I prefer not to be molested by strangers and treated a a criminal because back-in-the-day they were too stupid to wonder what someone was doing carrying a BOX CUTTER on a passenger flight, with no BOXES to cut!! Seriously, would not that be a item you'd pack in a suitcase in baggage? Unless, of course you know you would need it in-flight? And then they went waaay the other way, (seriously, EYEBROW tweezers? Someone gonna PINCH to to death? And yet, I notice, all manner of contraband and stowaways still glide on through...This country just has no experience with all this... Israel has /had been saying for YEARS, "PLEASE let us show you about airport security, PLEASE!!" I just prefer not to live like that; the Israellis have little choice. Anyway, clearly your customer service person had nooo humor. I thought you were very funny. Very. }:> OH! Just so you know; my fingernails are about 1/2" long, max, and they are sharp as razors. I know, 'cuz occasionally I stab/scratch/gouge myself! Very annoying, and VERY painful. Plastic indeed..... Regarding your itty-bitty 2" pocket knife; even the cops don't get excited until it's over 4 inches, and then only if it's concealed-you can carry a 10" Bowie/Buck on your hip in a sheath.... ALSO: you could have told the customer-service (?) person you WANTED to fly via magic carpet, but were stuck using a plain plane.... (I know, I'll shut up...)

Answer 2

Sorry to disagree with one of the answers, but if a person can get through security with 12"aluminum knitting needles, then security is a huge joke.

I agree that it is not supposed to be funny, but as the asker pointed out and I agree, it has to make sense.

I can't take on a knife, but I can take on a pen or a pencil. Those are great weapons.

We need Air Marshals. We need people to pay attention to what is going on around them.

Answer 3

It sounds like you were trying to be funny and it got confusing. But I agree, I hate airports and it sucks! The planes are almost always delayed which makes connecting flights impossible to make. I hate flying and wish there were easier ways to get across countries!

Answer 4

Security is no longer a joke. Be cooperative and play the rules and you'll get along a lot easier

Answer 5

I'm glad they took your knife--you know better. Sharp knives made of steel are much more dangerous than dull fingernales made of ... whatever fingernails are made out of (probably plastic because they were probably fake).

I have no problems at airports. Probably because I behave myself and follow the rules. you should try it sometime... it's a lot quicker!

Answer 6

refer to her approximately it while she's calm. Plus, while she's like that, you could tell her that's not your fault no longer something's going suitable. yet refer to her in length while she's calm, and tell her to no longer enable herself get pissed off. Getting pissed off won't substitute something or make something extra beneficial. It in ordinary terms makes issues worse.

Answer 7

I'm so glad I wasn't the one working. You sound very un-cooperative.

Answer 8

man so claws are dangerous !!
