I can't be the only one with one right now, right?
I just got off a flight. My sixth flight in six days by the way.
It was one of the domestic flights where overhead space was going to be a total bear. I was seated in the row behind the bulkhead and boarded in the second group. It was slow going, so I stood and watched as a woman sitting 3 rows behind me stuck her big bag above my seat, and another gentleman put his large roller bag and a big duffel in the overheads 2 and 3 rows ahead of his seat. By the time I got to my seat, all of the space was full going back ten rows .
Next time this happens, when you get to your row, put your carry on in your seat, take one of the big bags that someone in another row put in your row's overhead compartment, and sweetly ask the flight attendant "Excuse me, I don't think this is going to fit - could I gate check this please?"
How about this - today is my birthday and I've been at my shitty temp job for TEN HOURS!! I accidentally have both car seats, so my DH and kiddo were not able to get me a present. I will not get home in time to go out to dinner. I will have to work tomorrow, which means I have to cancel birthday drinks with my best friend. I may or may not have to work on Sunday, as well, which means my plans of throwing down with DH are on hold.
It's petty, but I really, really want to cry. I didn't get to see my kiddo at all today.
Mx, you should complain to the airline. She was totally out of line. Did your husband say anything to her? That would make her look stupid. People are idiots.
