The story of a woman... at the Airport.
And since its so epic... well, you'll have to deal with the broken-ass AIM text 'cause I don't fuckin' feel like editing it. Without further adieu:

Aero

oh whats up
youre gonna regret asking that
so
this girl i work with and i
like our whole team was supposed to go to chicago this week
so 4 of us from tarrytown, and one from canada
so we were all supposed to go to chicago this week
and my boss like sent out this eamil and was like "blah blah we dont need 5 rental cars in chicago that week, so plan your trips together and carpool"

fine whatever
so i ask this girl on our team if she wants to
and shes like yeah i already made my plans
so im like ok i'll just do what you do and share your car
so she booked an 11am flight today
so i did too
and i guess our boss was mad and was like why are you flying hte middle of the day
bc he took the 6am flight
well becase i think we should travel during work hours
adn not in the middle of the night
but whatever
so he was kinda mad we took a flight in the middel of the day but i dont care because i disagree with that

so he took the 6am flight
well last night all the flights here were cancelled bc of weather
so the airport was PACKED today already
and we FINALLY get through security like a half hour before our flight was leaving
and it gets really dark
and this HUGE storms goes through
hailing and shit
all over
so the cancel our flight
and about every other flight for the next few hours
soooo
i wasnt even mad
i dont really want to go to chicago
so i called the 800 number
instead of standing in the enormous lines
and i said my and my coworkers flight was cancelled
we need rebooked together on another one
and they said "youre both booked for the 6pm flight tomorrow night
OH OK
so im like no thats not going to work
and theyre like well thats the earlier we can get you on a flight

so i was like "well can we try another airline"
bc they will only do that if you ask
so shes liek "i'll check"
so she comes back
and goes "ok theres an 8pm united flight tonight"
and im like "can you get us both on that"
and she goes "YEP"
nad im like great we'll take it
and she geos ok hang on
and then she goes "ok youre all set"
and im like 'we're BOTH all set?"
just to verify
shes like yep, youre both on it
and im like ok thanks bye
so it was like 11am
and im like im not sitting int his airprot for 9 hours
so we leave and go back to work and out to lunch for a little bit
and i checked my email and had a confirmation from american airlines about my united flight they put me on

and i told nihal
and then i went home to change and repack so i didnt have to check my bag again
and she calls
and is like "i didnt get an email, and i called adn im not on the flight"
and im like ARE YOUF UCKING KIDDING ME
yeah...
so im like hang on im coming back into work
and im like "how did you know youre not on the flight"
and shes liek i called american express
(bc thats the system we use to book all our corporate travel)
and im like well nihal...
maybe you should try american or untied,
it might not get transfered to amex travel
and shes like no they said that youre on the flight but im not
and im like oh
well see ya
and so i leave
go back to the airport
shes booked on a flight that gets in at noon tomorrow
and the fucking keep delaying my flight

WAIT
i just skipped a huge part of the story somehow
so i get the airport
it wont let me check in at the kiosk
so i get in this huge line
and i ask some guy thats walking by from united
about if i have to wait here and shit bc american rebooked me on this flight
and he fucking laughs at me
and goes "yeah right, no airlines are booking passangers on other
airlines at all today, we're forbidden bc of the delays"
or some shit
and i fucking pull out my intinary they emialed me
adn i go what the fuck is this then
and he goes "oh, come with me"
and he pulls me to the front of the line
and it didnt go through, and i go then why the hell did american send it to me
so he goes "come with me"
and walks me to the front of the american airline line
and they were like no way did anyone here rebook her for your ailrine, and im like youre right. no one here did. i called the 800 number

and shes like "hm"
looks me up
and goes "oh yeah it went through, youre booked on united"
and so the untied m an goes
"come with me"
back to the front of the untied line
hands me a ticket
and goes thanks for flying with us
and something about how im probably the only person who somehow managed to do that today
get on another airline
so i fucking go through security
get here
i ahve no seat on my ticket
and didnt want to wait in the line at the gate
to get one
so i went to the rebooking/change seat kiosk in the lounge here
and the first thing it said when i put my confirmation number in
"would you like to check in the passanger you are traveling with: nihal"
IDIOT
she was fucking on this flight with me
this whole time
so i called her
and im like you moron
i told her to get her ass here
but she wont
so
shes coming tomorrow still i guess
my flight keeps getting delayed
she could have made it
probably
well
GOD
THEY FUCKING DLAYED ME AGIAN

there is one more i'd like to share
that i forgot
so right after they cancel the flight
and its fucking hailing the shit out of ny
and its pounding on the roof and windows
and its completely white outside you cant see a thing
and its fucking thundering like crazy
im not done
so all thats going on
and im standing in the middel of the airport
and the fucking fire alarms start going off like crazy
and this fucking kid
probably like 7 years old standing next to me
fucking opens his mouth
and just starts screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs
he didnt even fucking breathe
just kept screaming
the whole place stopped to stare at him
i was like what the fucking shit
im getting the fuck out of here
his mom finally grabbed him and put her hand around his mouth
hahaha
becuase he just kept going
