Ooooooh...back to back posts! (I also just noticed that I make egregious use of the ellipsis...)Last weekend I was flying back from Denver for a nice weekend with my college roommate, and I once again noticed that people at airports are VERY ANGRY.
First, I was walking by one of those annoying people who are trying to sell you credit cards to get free airline tickets. This woman was with Frontier, and she says as I walk by, "Do you know about our offer to get free flights?" I said, "no thank you" and smiled and kept walking. Then her smile dissolved and she got all hostile and says, "I didn't OFFER you ANYTHING, I just ASKED if you knew about it." Whoa...is that really necessary, especially for someone in the sales industry? I should have gotten her name and reported her. "Excuse me, credit card company? Do you know that your salesperson at the Denver airport is an angry, horrible person?"
Then I went to Caribou Coffee to buy Mike a bag of coffee, since it reminds him of his Minnesota upbringing. The guys behind the counter had an extremely difficult time ringing up the bag. It wasn't working, and it took three people to finally get it right. Irritating, yes, but completely not my fault. To be polite, I turned to the woman behind me and smiled and said, "I'm so sorry it is taking so long." She rolled her eyes at me and sighed loudly. Well excuuuuuuuuuuuse me for trying to be polite!!!
Anyway, I don't understand why people have to be so angry, especially when I am smiling and being polite. Let go of your anger, people. It doesn't get you what you want or get you where you're trying to go. It just makes you ugly and gives you ulcers and whatnot.
