Pardon The Pun

As my ticket is economy and the Malaysian Airlines reward scheme is completely worthless, I have to sit with the other scum in the airport and can’t use the lounge. Boo.

I have checked in online and I was just checking in my luggage – dropping it off at the clearly marked “online check-in, bag drop only” kiosk where there was only one person in front of me. The queue for the normal check in was huge, so I was pleased that I’d made the effort to do all this before hand. Anyway, this sour faced common old bag who was standing in the other queue starts eyeballing me as I waltz to the front of the other queue and asks (loud enough for anyone around her to hear) “So what makes you think you can just walk to the front and not queue like everyone else?

To which I just look at her in disgust, then back to the sign, and tell her that I “have already checked in online, and this was the queue just to drop off bags. Pardon the pun”

Fucking interfering old cow. I hope she’s not sitting anywhere near me.

We board and I note that she’s miles away, thankfully, and I was hoping that I’d get to keep the empty seat between me and whoever had also checked in already, but alas, this surly teenage Australian got on, huffing and puffing and then just slouching down and falling immediately to sleep. Too bad I needed a pee pretty much after we’d taken off.
