Transportation: Today, I was sitting in the airport, watching the baggage handlers...

Today, I was sitting in the airport, watching the baggage handlers load the plane I was about to get on. They were being really rough with it, one bag came open and all the clothes spilled out onto the tarmac. The clothes looked familiar. They were mine. FML

Today, I was boarding my flight when I got pulled aside for looking suspicious. As she was opening my bag, I said, "Be careful, I jammed so many clothes in there it may explode." I was then strip searched for my trouble. FML

Today, I arrived at the airport only to find my suitcase was lost and my 3 weeks worth of clothes and supplies gone. All I had left was my wallet and carry ons. Upon leaving the airport I was mugged. FML

Today, I fell asleep with my luggage at a bus terminal. Upon waking up, I found that someone had opened my bags and stolen all my socks. FML

Today, while going through customs at the airport, my bag was selected for screening. It was nearly overflowing because it was so full, so before the TSA agent searched it, I said, "Watch out - it's going to explode when you open it". Wrong choice of words. FML

How much?

Today, I was at the airport to catch a plane. It was very crowded at the gate and there was nowhere to sit except for a flat metal bench, so I sat on that. Turns out I was sitting on a luggage scale, so my weight was displayed for everybody to see. FML

Today, I was at the airport baggage collection when I saw an old man struggling to get his very old and heavy suitcase off the belt before giving up. I had already collected my bag, but wanting to be helpful, the old man watched me as I grabbed his handle, yanked and snapped it clean off. FML

Today, I went to the dry-cleaner's and went to get my bag of laundry from my trunk, but I ended up dropping the bag. My dirty underwear blew around the parking lot. I had to chase it all down as a bunch of people looked on. FML

Today, my jeans got caught in the airport escalators. Seeing as how we couldn't get them unstuck, my mother made me take them off. FML

The strangeness of strangers

By wellalrightythen - 09/02/2015 06:23 - United States - Hobart

Today, I boarded a plane. A woman decided that she didn't like where she'd put her carry on luggage and pulled it out from over my head. The heavy luggage then fell right onto my face, the wheel smacking me in the mouth and busting my lip open. She just laughed and waltzed away without a word. FML

Most airlines make you remove the locks before checking your bag

And then you can put the lock back on..

#16 Erm they only make you remove the locks for hand luggage and OP wasn't talking about hand luggage so OP either didn't have a lock when he should've or his suitcase broke

No they don't care about locked hand baggage. That all goes through a scanner. They don't want your checked baggage going in the belly of the plane to be locked, because they have the right to search it. Have you people ever checked baggage before??

Who the heck do you fly with? Is this a US airline thing? My checked luggage is ALWAYS locked, and I've never had a problem. And I've flown a LOT. Only thing is that they may break the lock to search, but I've never had it happen.

#45 yeah US airlines are much more strict ever since 9/11. It's a huge deal here and we have all sort of crazy rules and regulations at airports now

This stresses me out just to read, let alone actually having to deal with this. OP, I hope everything was able to be repacked! Also hopefully you didn't lose anything! :(
