Mean Women

Women working at the airports are getting meaner! The lady working at the gate I left from at St. Louis was ripping people up and turning them away. She turned away a couple of dozen from standby and then starting calling stand by passengers up to the gate. It was a bit confusing.
Before I ever got to the gate, I was summoned back to security to retrieve my ID, which fell out of my pocket during the strip search. My entire team probably heard me summoned back to security in the airport - I will find out Monday.
Then, on the airplane, the stewardess tried to make me put my Bible under my seat. I refused, it was not a bag, it was a book - the GOOD BOOK. I was willing to get kicked off the flight over this and I think she sensed that because she backed off. The very tall and big boned German lady beside cheered when this happened. I just smiled. I was glad the German lady liked me - her hands were much bigger than mine.
Things only got better when I got home and discovered one of these energy supplement companies had double billed me - violating the terms of agreement I had read. And guess what, the webpage I ordered from had been taken down. I know - it was stupid of me to order from the Internet - but it was on a reputable webpage! It used to be - I guess they took it down. When I called to explain that I would honor the agreement I had read, the guy would have none of it. I had to demand a supervisor and then she (the dreaded Melissa) hung up on me. Now, what do you think happened next?
I called back and demanded to speak with Melissa. She had conveniently stepped out to lunch. Charles "the other supervisor" helped me and was nice enough to work for such a bunch of criminals. After we agreed that I was getting all my money back, Charles asked if there was anything else he could do for me. I said, "YES! Put Melissa back on so I can hang up on her!" He told me she couldn't talk because she was at lunch and I asked what time I could call back and talk to her so I could hang up on her and he did not know. I also asked him to call me back if she got a tummy ache at lunch because that would make me happy. I also advised Charles to find a new employer because he worked for criminals. I like Charles - he laughed at Melissa with me and laughed when I called his company a bunch of criminals. He was much nicer than all the women who were mean to me today:-)
