• Why does this shit happen?

Today I was due for a plane flight from my small shitty town to a city. It was a normal slightly rainy day and I walked through the door into the airport and I expect to see about 10 people in line to check in. However, there were literally 300 people there with the line moving at 1 meter every 15 minutes. I looked at the information screens and there were 5 flights cancelled before mine. I soon learned it was because of the rain and they couldn't land. I didn't understand, I've landed at this airport many times when it was raining. So they announce the flights cancelled, mine wasn't one of them so I had to wait in line to check in. It took 2 fucking hours to get to the front, in this time, they made announcements all not relevent to my flight number. So, I get to the front and then they tell me, it's been cancelled and I have to use a flight scheduled for tomorrow. I thought, wtf, you haven't said anything about my flight being cancelled, why the hell are you making us wait here for hours when you could have just announced it! So now I'm pissed off that they made me wait there for hours just to tell me to come back tomorrow all because they decided not to land on a pretty normal day. Should I complain or ask for my money back? tl;dr: I had to wait for hours in a line to find out my flight was bumped to the next day because of light rain.
It's just bad luck. Shit happens. [editline]09:04PM[/editline] "Such is life"
Because it's better to be safe than sorry. I mean dead.
yeah, airports suck, I had to wait in line for over 6 hours before.
You still get your flight. It's a win-win scenario, and think of the other people lost or had to get their flights rearranged as well.
I hate airports with a passion.

would u rather take the risk and die?
Hey, why over 1000 kids will die today from a lack of clean water
[QUOTE=Jad Hinto;24936785]I hate flying period.[/QUOTE] So if you sprouted wings and could fly you would hate it?
[QUOTE=Free;24936808]Hey, why over 1000 kids will die today from a lack of clean water[/QUOTE] Because of airports. damn them airports.
[QUOTE=Free;24936808]Hey, why over 1000 kids will die today from a lack of clean water[/QUOTE] And that was relevant how?
[QUOTE=bazyboy;24936800]would u rather take the risk and die?[/QUOTE] Not really, but I'd rather have them announce it instead of waiting. And I've landed in rainy conditions many times, the chances of dying in this are slim.
[QUOTE=poopsicle;24936824]So if you sprouted wings and could fly you would hate it?[/QUOTE] teleportation is better.

[QUOTE=poopsicle;24936824]So if you sprouted wings and could fly you would hate it?[/QUOTE]Yes I would, I'd be too paranoid like I am now.

[QUOTE=poopsicle;24936883]You didn't structure your sentence very well, it was hard to understand.[/QUOTE] No, you couldn't understand what it had to do with this thread.
I'm sick of people blurting crap about the poor. There is nothing I can, or most people who read this, can do to help.
I would personally rather get my flight canceled than die.
Is the OP like 12 years old and doesn't know how the world works?
Hey OP, ever thought about the fact that the weather at your destination might vary slightly from where you depart?
[QUOTE=bazyboy;24936800]would u rather take the risk and die?[/QUOTE] I doubt he would care at all after he died :v:
Our flight was cancelled once too. Our vacation got a whole free day!
I've landed in heavy sickening turbulence and crosswind and the awful welsh downpours in the past. There was probably underlying weather conditions that stopped the flight, they're not bound to tell you the whole truth about your flight. personally I hate airport service, and getting onto the plane is like stepping into a (less boring) stress-free padded cell.
beacuse its That time of the month
[QUOTE=Free;24936837]To point out that he shouldn't worry about stupid shit like missing an airplane.[/QUOTE] Everyone have their problems man, small or big.
