A crowded United Airlines flight was canceled. A
single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket on the counter and said, "I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS."
The agent replied, "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try
to help you, but I've got to help these folks first; and then I'm
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 agent smiled and grabbed her
public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, 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 him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,
the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir,
you'll have to get in line for that, too."

A woman sat down in her seat on the plane. She looked over at the gentleman beside her who happened to be African American.
As the flight attendant walked by she flagged her.
"Yes, ma'am?", asked the attendant.
"I will HAVE to be re-seated. You cannot expect me to have to sit beside him", said the woman fixing a finger at the man beside her.
"Oh my", said the attendant. "This will simply not do. I can't expect someone to sit the whole flight beside someone so noxious and be uncomfortable. Come with me and I'll move you up to first class".
The woman smiled her petty grin and went for her bags.
The attendant put up her hand. "Oh no, ma'am. I was talking to the gentleman".
