My gut reaction is that this guy is an idiot.
Just like anything else you do in life, double check everything and don’t trust anyone else to do the right thing.
I know of a guy that booked himself an Amtrak ticket to Las Vegas. Problem is that Amtrak serves Las Vegas, New Mexico, not Las Vegas, Nevada.
The airline charged him $5000 for two return tickets England-Spain and he didn’t say anything?
Even with first class, that’s obviously too much for a short flight.
If I were the judge, that lawsuit would be dismissed so fast his head would spin. If he didn’t check his tickets, too bad, his problem.
Yeah I in 1983 ended up in Grenada as well(Operation Urgent Fury) in USS Independence CV-62.
Partner? If he's gay, that makes his victimhood score jump much higher.
uhhh....besides the different spellings, didn’t he notice how long it was taking to get there? What an idiot.
That is what I noticed too.
All things considered, there are worse places he could have ended up.
Grenada, is from little I’ve heard and seen, a beautiful Caribbean island.
Spelling ping!
I hope you receive this post with the humor I am trying to send with it.
It just fit our previous conversation too well not to share.
Cheers!
exactly... i have made plane reservations several times this past year, and i double check everything... even if i type in San Jose International Airport as my destination, i will sometimes be shown flights that land in San Francisco...
one of the first things i check before and after i make my reservation is the flight length of time... that right there should have told him that he was not going to Spain...
not too long ago i read an article about a silly girl who thought she was going to San Jose, Costa Rica--to learn the language... but she unknowingly landed in San Jose, California... was there for a good five days before she realized! she only found out because she posted pics on facebook, and a friend of hers told her she was in California and not Costa Rica!
i think she had posted a picture of herself at a San Jose Sharks hockey game... and she had been going on about how easily she could understand the people...
dumb!
You say “Grenada”, I say “Grenada”, yada, yada, yada.
You say Grenada, I say Granada....
This guy’s obviously an idiot. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go outside and wash my Hyundai Accord so it’s all shiny for my date with actress Evan Longoria.
I've spent a lot of time in the Caribbean. The thing you never want to forget is that you are in a 3rd world, high-crime, area. The resorts and tourist spots are quite nice, everything else is generally a slum.
The booking agent made the mistake, so ...
That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in ages.
