Stupid Questions Airline Passengers Ask

I don't know what it is about getting ready to board a plane that makes normally intelligent people turn into complete idiots. Perhaps it's just something about the nature of an airport that makes all common sense fly out of a person's head. Perhaps when they were packing their suitcases they accidentally left their brains at home. Whatever the case may be, for your personal enjoyment I provide here a list of just a few of the more idiotic questions that airline employees receive on a daily basis.

• The flight is delayed because of weather - Passenger:"Well I just talked to my friend in New York and she said its sunny and 80 degrees!" Employee:"Well yes, while the weather might be fine in New York there are severe thunderstorms going on right outside..." ***Note: Also, just because the weather is fine at the origin or destination does not mean that there is no bad weather in the flight path, which can and will delay a flight***
• Passenger:"Can I have a different seat so I'm sitting next to my friend?" Employee: "Actually you can choose anywhere that you would like to sit today, the plane is not full." Passenger:"Yes but can't you just print me another boarding pass, I want to make sure I sit next to my friend." Employee: "Ma'am there's only 9 people flying out on a 50 person jet today so you can sit where ever you would like." Passenger: "Exactly so I want another boarding pass, our seats aren't together and I want to sit with my friend." Employee: ??!??!?!?
• Passenger at Gate: "Hey, excuse me that's my plane right there, I need to get on, let me through!" Employee: "Sir, that is not your flight and we are not ready to board yet." Passenger: "But the plane is moving away, tell them to stop I need to get on!!!" Employee: "Sir that plane is for a completely different airline!"
• The flight is delayed due to bad weather - Passenger: "Do you know when we're going to be able to fly out?" Employee is thinking: Do I look like Mother Nature????
• The flight is delayed due to Air Traffic - Passenger: "But how can there be 'Air Traffic'? Can't the planes just go over top of each other? It's not like there are roads up there!"
• It is hours before the flight is scheduled to depart - Passenger: "Is the plane here yet?"
• Passenger: "Do you know who I AM?" Employee is thinking: No but I certainly hope you do.

Believe it or not these are actual questions that airport employees get asked everyday (and the ones posted here are by no means the most idiotic). So please, when packing your things to come to the airport, don't leave your mind at home. You just might make an airline employee lose theirs.
