Unfiltered Story #281230

I was in my position as loader. We ask passengers to place their hand luggage in the tray provided, and to divest themselves of any metal or electronic items they may have in their pockets prior to passing through the archway metal detector.
A gentleman stood in front of me and I asked the usual things

Me; Do you have a phone in your pocket ?

He looked at me for what seemed an age, very confused, before he replied

Him; What ? like a mobile phone ?

We have to be professional at all times so I said yes. The voice in my head however was screaming “No, your house phone you dumbass….some days I really enjoy my job.
