I am absolutely ******* livid with united. My flight out Thursday somehow always manages to be ******* late and they always change gates at the last ******* minute.
Well no ******* surprise it happened again today and I was sitting around like a ******* idiot waiting for my late flight to arrive. Lo and behold 10 minutes later I walk up to the departure screens and my flight had changed gates to some far away one and it had already left.
FUUUCKKKKKKKKKKK
even yesterday after 10 minutes of booking a flight for the future, my manager told me of a schedule change so I called them up to switch the time. The motherfucker on the line (who couldn't ******* speak English) proceeds to put me on hold for 20 minutes to tell me they can make the change for a $150 penalty and $25 change fee. I get pissed and say that's bullshit because I booked it 10 minutes ago. He says wait and puts me on hold again for 10 minutes and says good news we can give you a flight voucher for the difference in ticket cost as well as waive the fee. I say no, **** that I want a credit to my corp card and he says wait and puts me on hold again for 10 minutes only to say that's the best they can do. I say ******* and say okay and he asks for my address because they're going to send me a physical coupon with some stupid fuckinf code that I have to redeem. I tell him my address which he can't ******* spell so I spell it out for him and the deaf motnerfucker can't hear so I repeat myself 3 times.
And now today I missed my flight because of these F***ers and now I won't get home until midnight.
**** I don't care about my miles or status anymore. I'm going to switch to a new airline. United is the absolute worst. Hell all ******* airline companies are crooks that nickel and dime you along the way because they can't figure out how to be profitable.
Pieces of ****
I just want to go to the bar and take shots but I worked out yesterday so the alcohol will deter muscle growth.
Goddamit. I was so close to flipping a **** at the united customer service agent who proceeded to patronize me about checking the departure screen more often. *************

Nope, 4g on my iPad.
I can't recall the last time I was this genuinely angry.


Jesus dude, you work for some sort of consulting firm that has people traveling all over and you guys don't have a ******* travel agent? Also, you don't have someone back in the office with part of their job description being to deal with the travel agent so you don't have to?

WTF are you doing calling airlines on the phone? Let the travel agent get you on a plane on whatever airline can get you out of there. Plane says it is full? ORLY? See what the travel agent can do. We use the same corporate travel agent as several of our clients and I have seen them get people on "full" flights and into booked up hotels. Sucks for the guy flying on an unconfirmed ticket that got bumped so that you could get on the plane, but hey at least you get to go home. Although that probably depends on how important a client you are...I've seen them tell our people "no" and then a client's assistant was like "let me try" and she came back and was like "yeah, he can be out here on the first flight tomorrow" (they used the same agent but they probably have exponentially more business since their people travel frequently and thus get the ability to squeeze onto planes).

We use Best Travel...I dunno if they give referral bonuses, but if you guys sign up, tell them I sent you and maybe I'll get a free flight somewhere :)

I hear Green Frog's stories and all I can think is "smalltimer" mainly for the reasons otc described.


IIRC, he's newly employed and everything. Clearly, he still has a lot to learn.

What does she use? Fresh? My girlfriend loves Fresh. ******* three ounce jar of ***** for like $250. And she calls me crazy for buying Renovateur.

I have no idea. Some stuff from Philosophy. Makeup from some place on Madison Ave.

I didn't have a microwave for years. I never use the thing still.

We have no microwave and haven't for years. No use for it.
