I'm in Seattle - in the WAC, to be precise - and will be here for the next two weeks. I'm also currently expecting my luggage to arrive at some point. I am now regretting my quip to the check-in desk as I heaved my bag onto the conveyer: "Do you want it checked through to Seattle?", he asked, and I replied, "Sure. I don't want to see it again ".

Ah, you clearly got the "asshole thinks he's being wry" special bag loss check.

Well, yes. It serves me right. Me and my big mouth, etc.

the game of "who's the joke on now, asshat?" is very common in airport personnel. It's also the "I'm making eight bucks an hour, but I'll make you suffer for it, cause I can" mentality.

We do the same thing, think of the next Mercedes driver that cuts you off and what you just wished on him. However, airport personnel are just better than us and we should accept it

Ah, cool I didn't know you were coming to the U.S.
