So I was at the airport one day and I overheard the guy in front of me saying he was going to Hartford, CT when the woman behind the counter freaked out and told him he had to hurry to get the very next flight that was leaving RIGHT NOW! I in turn freaked out and said "me too, me too! I'm going to Hartford too!"
She freaked out some more, had me throw my bags on the weigher thing, asked for my ID - barely looked at it, and was ecstatic that I checked in on-line.
She then hopped over the weigher thing and told me and the other Hartford guy to start running with her to the gate...we started running...fast. I was loving it and couldnt help but blurt out "this is so exciting!" She turned to me huffing and puffing and said "Exciting?!?! Girrrlll please!!!".
When we reached the security gate she flashed her badge very official-like and yelled "We got some runners here, we got runners!!!!" they let us through to the next security checkpoint where she put her hand up to stop the people already waiting in line and told them to let us through or we'll miss our flight. We had to rip our shoes and bags off and try to put them back on just as quickly after they went through the x-ray machine. I had one shoe on and was trying to put the other one on and run at the same time. The other guy was taking too long so Gail (not her real name) grabbed his laptop and proceeded to run to the gate. He eventually caught up to us but I think she forgot she had his laptop clasped tightly to her chest because she held on to it for the next few minutes as she was frantically explaining our situation to the gate people.
We got on that flight thanks to "Gail". And thanks to "Gail" I had an exciting and fun-filled airport experience, I felt like I was in a movie! And anyone that knows me, knows how much I love a good airport. Thanks Gail!
ps. i miss you guys
