There's nothing like having a connecting flight cancelled or getting to the gate a minute after the door closes...
Here are phases of emotion that this provokes in 100% of people polled for this study (1 person so far)
The anticipation of landing knowing that your transfer will be tight:
That Olympic record breaking sprint getting off the first flight:
Getting to the closed gate after a marathon run from Terminal A to Terminal Z:
Seeing the smug almost smiling face of the gate employee thinking 'you were too slow, fat ass':
When they tell you the next flight is in 3 hours and there's a chance it might be overbooked:
then having to be nice so that they squeeze you on the next flight, but not really meaning it:
While inside you're all:
Going to the bar and having that pissed off drink, cause alcohol always fixes everything:
Ordering weird airport food even though you're not hungry because 3 hours have never felt so long and you feel stranded and alone:
Finally getting on the next flight and telling the gate agent you'll never fly their airline again while you know that's 100% false:
That glorious feeling of taking off and leaving all that misery behind:
At least until next time...
