Transportation and Airplanes: Been around the world and I, I, I, I can't find my luggage

Been around the world and I, I, I, I can't find my luggage

By 1942ford - 23/07/2013 02:18 - United States - Lynnwood

Today, I called an airline to try to locate a bag I left on a flight. When I told the phone rep which airport I flew into, he asked me what city it was in. He paused after I told him, then asked me what state Seattle is in. I don't think I'll be getting my bag back. FML

Today, I took a flight from Seattle to Oregon but missed my flight back home to California because the flight attendant came in late and delayed our flight take off time. Then I was told the only way to get California was to go back to Seattle and fly to California from there. FML

Today, I was on a flight home. I wasn't going to arrive until midnight, so I was offered an earlier flight that got back at ten. I got to baggage claims and it turned out they lost my bag. I sat there for 2 hours. The people on my original flight left for home before I did. FML

Today, I arrived home after taking one airplane from A to B. My luggage never made it on the plane with me, and now the airline is looking for it. One plane and still lost my suitcase. FML

Where is my mind?

Today, I was flying home from LAX when I realized I'd left my ID back at the hotel. After making phone calls to the hotel and rental car company, I found it and made it back to the airport in time for my flight. After going through security, I realized I'd left my phone on the hotel counter. FML

Today, I was at the airport getting ready to go to Hawaii. The guy at the counter said my flight was delayed. It turns out that the flight that was delayed was a flight going to Miami. My flight left at the regular time, and my luggage was on it, because I checked in the night before. FML

Today, I left my book on the plane after I'd finished reading it. The flight attendant thought I'd forgotten it, so he chased me through the airport, past security, past customs, and past baggage claims. I didn't have the heart to tell him I left it on purpose. FML

Today, I was flying home to Milwaukee after a weekend in South Carolina. When I got to the airport, my reservation didn't match up with any flights. Turns out Expedia booked me on a flight that doen't exist. I spent ten hours waiting in the airport for a two hour flight. FML

Seattle, you know, home of the Empire State Building, the Taj Mahal, and the pyramids. Seriously though, where are these people getting their education? That truly sucks OP, I hope you get all of your stuff back intact.

is it really matters if he doesn't know where Seattle is? if you know, you tell him; if you don't, he could search in the system or google it. Nobody knows everything.

To be fair it may just be that he's not American. I'm not American and i don't know what state it's in either. And the guy you phoned probably hears so many city and airport names that it's probably very difficult to remember where they all are.

I think you should cut the guy some slack. You don't know if his job requires him to confirm the state. At my job we collect customer addresses and even if I know the exact street a customer lives on in town I'm required to confirm city, state, and zip. I'm sure if your job is dealing with pissed off people who lost luggage you learn to confirm every detail. Plus we all have blonde moments when our minds don't function properly.

Exactly. Nothing like freaking the customer out by telling him all the details before he gives it to you. "Oh this is Mr. Jones, you live an 1114 Walla Walla Lane, Seattle Washington, 98101. How's your wife Mary and you two kids Biff and Chip doing?"

He then went on to say "ah, Seattle. Capital of Washington!" Right? Lol

I only know because of the stupid twilight movie, but I don't know every city to every state, I mean it is kind of useless information. Just tell him where you are and move on.
