Topic: RUDE CUSTOMERS

[Clive]

Indeed, an award should go to the Virgin Airlines gate attendant in
Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny, while making her
point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly
as cargo.

A crowded Virgin flight was cancelled after Virgin's 767s had been
withdrawn from service. A single attendant was re-booking a long line
of inconvenienced travellers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his
way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said,
"I HAVE to be on THIS flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS".

The attendant replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you,
but I've got to help these people first, and I'm sure we'll be able to
work something out."

The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the
passengers behind him could hear, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO

I AM?"   Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her

public address microphone: "May I have your attention please, may I
have your attention please ," she began - her voice heard clearly
throughout the terminal.
"We have a passenger here at Gate14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO
HE IS.  If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14."

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared
at the Virgin attendant, gritted his teeth and said, "F...  You!"

Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have
to get in line for that too."
