"When you watch someone totally lose their marbles on a gate agent over a delayed flight, it tells you something about them.
It tells you they don't do travel very well. It tells me they don't do life very well, either. Cause when things go awry, it doesn't matter who you are. Or, what your status is. Or, how important you think you are.
Delays in travel are normal B.S. And, losing all your marbles won't change the outcome. In fact, you're just making an unfortunate situation worse for everyone."
