It happened at a New York Airport. This is hilarious.

[Bumper64]

I wish I had the guts of this girl. An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.

A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A

single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.

Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."

The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try

to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm

sure we'll be able to work something out."

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that

the passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"

Without hesitating, the agent smiled and grabbed her

public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,

the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"

Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir,

you'll have to get in line for that, too."

Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to

dance in the rain.

I would buy that lady a coke......wish I was there to hear it....lol

great post bumper

[bgschlonka]

I wish I was that quick. She could probably go onstage now and do stand up. Good for you young lady.

[Mustmoto]

It's a great story and definitely funny. Too bad it's just a story...this one is way back from 1998 and was originally set in Denver...

Could you imaging how quickly she would get fired and how much the guy would sue for if it were true. It's sad that these days someone in real life would have to take the abuse rather than speak up.

Still a good laugh every time I see it (once every few years )

Maybe it was Shabbs trying to get back to Iraq for the big event.

[gymrat76541]

Only wish I was there to witness this event. LOL

Good for her. Hope she get promoted soon.

I thought this arrogant way of acting was typical of my Country (Italy)... It's good to learn it's not a trait belonging exclusively to some of my people.

Unless of course the character described above was Italian....

Great story btw. Thanks.

A plus from me too.
