Unfiltered Story #152409

(Two people, a man and a woman, come up to my desk together and start talking.)

Me: “Hello, may I help you?”

Man: “Checking in.”

(I go through the process of check in, and all the while, the woman and man are chatting friendly. It’s obvious they know each other very well.)

Woman: “Do you have any luggage carts?”

Me: “Oh, there’s no more, I’ll just ask someone to fetch them.”

(I finish with check in and go to tell the houseperson, who’s in the back about the carts.)

Man: “Hey! Aren’t you gonna CHECK HER IN?!”

Me: “Uh, who? Oh her, I thought she was with you.”

Man: “Huh?!”

Me: “You know, your wife or something?”

Man: “She isn’t MY WIFE, my wife is sick in the hospital! How can you assume that?!”

Me: “Because you were talking with her and you came up with her? I was just going to ask the houseperson to get the carts that she asked for.”

(The man darts a look at her, then at me.)

Woman: “It’s true.”

Man: “…Oh.”

(He calms down and struts away. Moral of the story: don’t walk up with someone unless you two are together, it’s very confusing! Stand behind each other in line, dummies! Plus, mind your business.)
