    Bad Passenger
    An award should go to the United Airlines gate agent in Denver for being
    Smart and funny, and making her point, when confronted with a passenger
    Who probably deserved to fly as cargo.

    During the final days at Denver's old Stapleton airport, a crowded United
    Flight was cancelled. A single agent was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced
    Travelers.

    Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his
    Ticket down on the counter and said, " I HAVE to be on this flight, and it has
    to be FIRST CLASS."

    The agent replied, "I'm sorry sir. I'll be happy to try to help you, but I've got
    to help these folks first, and I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
    The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers
    Behind him could hear, "Do you have any idea who I am?"

    Without hesitating, the gate agent smiled and grabbed her public address
    Microphone. "May I have your attention, please?" she began, her voice
    Bellowing throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at the gate
    WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his
    identity, please come to Gate 17."

    With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the
    United agent, gritted his teeth and swore "Fxxx you."

    Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have to stand
    in line for that, too."
