One of the biggest reasons why I hate going to the airport is because they lose stuff all of the time; More luggage is lost in the airport than holiday gifts at the post office.
My mom took a flight across the country and she had to go without her luggage for 3 afternoons, however i took a flight to see my mom. My luggage was there when I arrived, however my luggage was missing when my fantastic friend and I came back; On the return trip, the airline lost my luggage, they politely asked me to wait outside so they could find where the luggage was located. I was particularly worried and exasperated. There was a particularly nice guy outside in the returning flights area, and he was kneeling near the corner of the airport part and he was smoking a cigarette. I had not smoked a cigarette in 10 years or more, even though I went over to the guy and asked if I could bum one of those smokes. He asked me if I wanted something stronger and he showed me a marijuana joint. I wasn’t about to share a marijuana joint with some guy that I didn’t know, even though I was sure tempted. I sat outside for nearly 30 minutes waiting for someone to tell me where my luggage was located. They could not find my tote at the airport where I left or the stadium where my fantastic friend and I landed and I took a direct flight that day. I would have been much more calm and relaxed if I would have simply smoked the marijuana joint with the guy when he gave.
