The Crazy Lady on the Plane (part 2)
So after putting on my belt and tying my shoes, I made my way up to the gate to look for my aunt to say hello and good bye before flying back to SF. I asked a gate agent and he said he hadn't seen her. But it's kind of funny, the gate agents seem to cover for each other, so I'm sure when I asked for my aunt by name he wouldn't help. But I said- I'm her nephew, I just wanted to say goodbye, but I think she was working the 5am shift and I must have missed her. Then he lightened up and said- oh, yeah, I saw her earlier, but she might have left already. I had a similar conversation at the ticketing counter, but that's no big deal. I just think it's kind of funny. It's like if someone calls tech support and asks to speak to the agent they just spoke to- the CSRs will say "oh, I'm not sure if they're still here, what's your incident number?" (well, that's what they're supposed to do). But at that moment my aunt walked up and we sat down and started talking. After a minute or two this guy walks by near us with his and his wife's bags. He plops the bags (including her fancy purse and his laptop bag) down on three lounge seats and wanders off to go pee and go to Starbucks (and he's gone for a while).
