R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:26:50 AM): either way, i did

R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:26:57 AM): airport
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:27:01 AM): in denver
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:27:05 AM): by a big ol' black man
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:27:14 AM): Robert Smith III
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:27:25 AM): he was a douche
thenewyear13 (1:27:35 AM): what happened?
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:27:42 AM): he threw me off my flight
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:28:21 AM): so when i left santa fe, the thing they use to print boarding passes wasn't working, so they told me they'd print them out for me in denver
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:28:23 AM): SO
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:28:41 AM): when i got to the terminal i was supposed to wait at i went to the desk
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:28:50 AM): blacky mc blackblack was there
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:28:55 AM): and was a douche from the start
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:29:06 AM): so i just went and sat down
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:29:26 AM): cause apparently they couldn't do anything yet cause it wasn't time for the chicago flight yet
thenewyear13 (1:29:31 AM): uh huh
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:29:34 AM): but he didn't even listen to what i had to say
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:29:42 AM): he just started being a douche
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:29:46 AM): you know?
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:29:53 AM): so i go sit down and am like whatever
thenewyear13 (1:30:01 AM): uh huh
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:30:05 AM): i keep waiting there for someone to come back to the desk
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:30:10 AM): cause no one was there the entire time
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:30:15 AM): i was there since 1:30
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:30:24 AM): my flight didn't start boarding til 3:25
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:30:36 AM): the entire time i waited and the desk was empty
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:30:47 AM): so then i hear they're boarding the flight
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:31:07 AM): so i run over to where people are lining up and wait off to the side next to his other little desk thing to get his attention
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:31:25 AM): i'm the only guy standing over in that area
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:31:39 AM): so he boards seating 1 and 2
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:31:45 AM): then 1, 2, and 3
thenewyear13 (1:31:47 AM): uh huh
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:31:55 AM): the entire time i'm there he doesn't even glance up at me
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:32:01 AM): or say anything towards me
thenewyear13 (1:32:19 AM): uh huh
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:32:28 AM): so then he boards the rest of the flight
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:32:39 AM): so i'm getting increasingly more worried about this whole thing
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:32:49 AM): cause i haven't even had a chance to EXPLAIN the situation, you know?
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:32:58 AM): let alone get anything done about it
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:33:04 AM): and the entire flight's boarded already
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:33:14 AM): so by that time there are more people standing over where i am
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:33:27 AM): he talks to these other people first
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:33:39 AM): then he calls stand by passengers to board
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:34:34 AM): then in the middle of standby passengers boarding this guy comes over and is like flipping out at him cause he's like "hey you're boarding stand by and you never called me" cause apparently he's one of those people that gets called for like first class or something, like by name
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:34:40 AM): and so they got in a little fight about that
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:34:46 AM): and this guy never did call him
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:34:51 AM): even though he said he did
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:35:08 AM): so then some more people have come over to where i'm standing
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:35:15 AM): mean while i've been there before ANY of them
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:35:28 AM): this one guy gets his ticket upgraded
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:35:38 AM): he puts on like 5 other stand by passengers
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:35:43 AM): hasn't even LOOKED at me yet
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:36:10 AM): then completely skips over me (before this i was kinda ok, getting irritated, but he seemed to being going down some sort of line)
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:36:18 AM): but then he skips over me to some lady that just walked up
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:36:22 AM): so that's when i flip out
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:36:59 AM): and start saying that it's fucking bull shit that he hasn't even listened to what i had to say that i was here before all these people and all that
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:37:27 AM): so he goes "you're not going on this flight anymore. you don't tell me what to do. don't tell me how to do my job blah blah don't curse blah blah"
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:37:35 AM): then he calls his supervisor down
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:38:08 AM): oh and also earlier another person came over to help him cause apparently he was all alone on this and it was kinda rediculous but he said no like he was trying to prove some point or something
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:38:17 AM): and so i asked her if she could help me with my boarding pass
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:38:27 AM): she said she couldn't at the time but that the guy would
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:38:36 AM): and then she even reminded him about it later at one point
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:38:45 AM): but the entire time he just ignored me until i spoke up
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:38:51 AM): and then he kicked me off the flight
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:39:00 AM): and then the supervisors came down he said his bullshit
thenewyear13 (1:39:07 AM): that's ridiculous
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:39:16 AM): i explained mine in a very calm and collected tone (no sarcasm)
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:39:38 AM): then this other guy who had been standing there the whole time went over and like pulled the supervisors aside and said something to them
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:40:09 AM): when he finished talking to them he was like "you're right, it was bullshit and i was telling them. he was completely discriminating against you and skipping over you and giving you shit"
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:40:16 AM): so i thanked the guy profusely
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:40:29 AM): the supervisors were talking about trying to put me on a nonstop flight to philly at that point
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:40:36 AM): they came back, said they couldn't
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:40:57 AM): and the guy was like "he cursed at me, he's not getting on this flight, i'm not comfortable with him going on this flight"
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:41:21 AM): meanwhile this guy is one of those shitty flight attendants who has nothing to do with the flight besides tearing your boarding pass
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:41:37 AM): so they give me a ticket for the flight and tell me they'll let me get on if i apologize to him
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:41:56 AM): so i pull some major bullshit out of my ass staring this guy down and sneering the entire time
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:42:58 AM): then i thanked the other guy that stood up for me again, and boarded cursing the entire way down to the plane
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:43:10 AM): and that's my story
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:43:20 AM): oh, and before boarding in santa fe!...
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:43:31 AM): i was just gathering all my stuff up
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:43:43 AM): and like i had just gone through security so i put my belt and all that shit on
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:44:11 AM): but this security guard comes over to me and is like "excuse me sir" ::insert cheech marin's voice::
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:44:20 AM): and i look around til i realize he's behind me
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:44:29 AM): so i'm like "yes?"
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:44:59 AM): and he goes "it appears your pants are starting to fall down. i'll have to ask you to keep them up in courtesy of the other passengers.."
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:45:21 AM): and so in my head i'm just like "what?? did that just happen?!"
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:45:43 AM): so i just say "oh yeh sorry." turn, pull pants up, sit down, pretend that never happened.
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:46:05 AM): it was one of the weirdest things that ever happened to me
thenewyear13 (1:46:06 AM): hahahahahaha
R3SULTSMAYV4RY (1:46:26 AM): and i'm gonna put this entire conversation in my livejournal right now.
