I got back yesterday from my trip back home to houston for thanksgiving break. I flew from santa ana - houston and missed both flights.
First on the way there, they hassled me about my ticket and wouldn't let me get on my flight. Then when I finally was allowed to get onto another flight, they targetted me for a 'random' search. The guy searching me almost got knocked out when he stuck his hands inside of the front of my pants (checking the pant button, or something). I was pretty damn angry with that overly meticulous search. Then when I went back to the front of the line to board my flight, the stupid bitch who was checking IDs told me that I would need to step aside for additional searching. I was like, how many fucking times do you want to search me? And the guy who just searched me told her that they had just searched me. She goes, 'oh sorry, i can't keep track of these things'.
Random my ass!
Then I make it to Houston, about 6 hours after I was supposed to be there, 3am. So, its time to fly back to cali, and I make sure I don't forget anything. I have my boarding pass, and ticket, and everything that I would need. I end up going to curbside check-in, and the stupid ass checking me in said that the 'system' wasn't letting me check in. He made me follow him inside, where he found this fat lady behind a computer and told her about the error. She said that there was a 'runk' on my record and that she removed it, and I should be able to check in now. We go back outside again, and he tries to check me in. Once again, he says that he cannot check me in and makes me follow him inside. He takes me to first class and tells me to wait in line there, and takes his stupid ignorant ass back outside. I goto the lady (continental) and she tells me that they don't know why he couldn't check me in, but now that it was too close to departure time, and they would not check me in. WHAT THE FUCK! So I missed that flight, and they ended up bringing a supervisor in, and that bald fuck sat behind the computer and told me that I would not make my flight. He told me taht I could go standby on the next flight and if I don't get on there, then 5 hours later I could catch the next flight that's not full.
So they make me get my bag X-rayed. I end up waiting about 20 minutes while they x-ray my bag, and they come back asking for a key. I gave them my key and they proceeded to rummage through my belongings. Thankfully, they didn't find my supplements in my hygeine bag, but it still pissed me off.
I make my way to the gate, finally, and sit and wait for a few hours. Finally the flight is gonna board, and they tell me that I will be able to get on. I proceed into the line, and as the lady checks me ticket she says, "oh, the computer has selected you"... and then he mumbles, "the computer has selected you". I ask her, what do you mean? did the computer select me out of standby for the flight? Then she goes, "no you were selected for our random search". I was pretty pissed at this point!!! I go and first thing I tell the guy is 'if you try to touch my nuts, I'll knock you out'. I don't know why it came out like that, but at that point I was just looking to box someone. The guy was cool, and didn't try any bullshit, but I did have to take off my shoes, be patted down, radared and all that fun stuff.
Finally I get on the flight and find myself cramped between two women and a crying baby.
In conclusion, FUCK airports. And does anyone else have these problems? I mean, is this just part of being big?
