So. The stewardess.
Okay, so I flew with Ryanair, and they're great if all you want to wear on your flight is the same pair of jeans and t shirt for a week. If you want to bring a check in bag, it's 30 quid. it's sick. But my flight was 30 quid for there and back to ireland. So I took it, and took a carry on bag with EVERYTHING I needed for a week.
So after my trip, my bag is kinda full of souvenirs, and is a big round, but I knew it wasn't TOO big.
So Ryanair are assholes, and if your bag is over sized or weight you have to pay 30 quid or 25 euros. And I didn't have it. I lost the last bit of my money when I was drunk the night before. Well done me.
So they check my boarding pass, and i try to be all sneaky and walk on by, but this stewardess tells me I have to put my bag in this metal frame so it can be sized. It fit, but it has these little feet, and they got in the way of it getting right into the frame. And she was all "25 Euro. Credit card or cash" and I told her I didn't have it, and if she would just look, she would see it would fit it the little feet weren't there. and she said "Credit card or cash". So now I was pissed off. And a bit drunk still from the night before. I told her I didn't have 25 Euro. and she said: "Credit card or cash" and i told her once again I didn't have it. and she said "it's too big to go on the plane. 25 Euro. Credit card or cash" so I turned to her and said "WHY DOES ME PAYING YOU MAGICALLY MAKE IT SMALLER? DO YOU HAVE A MAGIC SHRINKING POTION ON THE PLANE?!" yeah... way to be, me.
So this guy walks up, grabs ahold of my bag, and gives it a good shove into the frame and it falls into the frame and he yells: "see!? it fits!!" My hero!!
the stewardess gave me an EVIL look, and I went onto the plane.
She offered me a drink later, on the flight. I politely refused. Scared she'd have spit in it.
So. a few things to remember:
1.random strangers can be your hero
2."Credit card or cash"
3.being hungover + grumpy stewardesses can lead to yelling things about magic shrinking potions.
