No Wonder The Dog Has Anxiety
While I am waiting to board a flight, the gate attendant makes an announcement.
Gate Attendant: *Over the PA* “Ladies and gentleman, on behalf of [Airline], I would—”
A woman approaches him and waves her hand in his face. He holds up a finger to tell her to wait but she pushes it out of her way.
Woman: “I’m flying with my dog so we’ll need to board first. Here’s his paperwork.”
Gate Attendant: *Away from the PA* “One moment, ma’am.” *Over the PA* “[Airline] would—”
Woman: “He has anxiety.”
Gate Attendant: *Annoyed* “I will be with you in a moment.”
Woman: “Now!”
Gate Attendant: “Ma’am, please sit down and I will be with you when I’m done.”
Woman: “But—”
Gate Attendant: *With a smile* “Thank you for your patience.”
Woman: *Under her breath* “F****** a**hole.”
Gate Attendant: *Over the PA* “Security to [gate].”
The woman tried to make a run for it — without her dog — but she was caught by security. I’m not sure what happened to her, but she probably deserved it.
