Grumble… Anybody that thinks travel is fun is @#$*& nuts!!!

PER to SYD today, shoehorned into the back (and I DO mean back) of the bus… Row 54 middle.  The two guys either side of me were BIG!  We had to alternate who leaned forward and who leaned back… sigh… Thankfully it was only a 4 hour flight…

So get to SYD, take the bus to the hotel, and there is ONE! ONE! frikkin clerk working check-in, and about 20 of us in line…

And this ‘broad’ (being polite here), was haranguing the clerk over the parking fees for her car.

After a good fifteen minutes of this crap, I mentioned to the guy behind me we should take up a collection and just pay the damn parking for her, so ‘maybe’ we could get checked in before it was time to check out…

He mumbled something to the effect of hell yeah, and dug a bill out.  I threw $10A in the pot, he hit the rest of the line up, and there were enough donations to pay her @#*&^ parking fee.

So he takes it up to the counter, slaps it down in front of her and says, “Here ya go you cheap b***h. Your F’ing parking is paid, now shut the F up, and get out of our way.  WE would like to check in!”

And we all applauded…

And she threw a hissy fit about the way he’d ‘talked’ to her, and demanded the manager!  And she wasn’t moving!

Until she looked around and saw now 25-30 pissed off folks starting to move toward her.

I think at that point she decided that maybe she just should take her key and go away.  And she did…

Finally got checked in, got to the room, TV doesn’t work… Figures…

Go back down stairs to the clerk, he apologises, but no other rooms.  Oh well I needed sleep anyway… At least they have free internet in the lobby (it didn’t work in the room either)…
