An award should go to the Ansett Airlines gate attendant in Sydney for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with ap assenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A single attendant was rebooking 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 was to be 1st Class."
The attendant replied, I am sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got to help these people first, and I am 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 PA microphone: "May I have your attention please," her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 who does not know who he is. If anyone can help find his identity, please come to Gate 14."
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the attendant, gritted his teeth and said. "F*** You!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I am sorry sir, but you'll have to get in line for that, too."
