It happened at a New York Airport. This is hilarious. I wish I had the guts of this girl. An award should go to the gate agent in New York for being smart and funny, while making her point, when confronted with a passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo. For all of you out there who have had to deal with an irate customer, this one is for you.
A crowded flight was canceled. A single agent was re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers.
Suddenly, an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket 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 then 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 agent smiled and grabbed her public address microphone. "May I have your attention, please?", she began, her voice heard clearly throughout the terminal. "We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14".
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,the man glared at the United Airlines agent, gritted his teeth, and said, "F*** You!"
Without flinching, she smiled and said, "I'm sorry sir, you'll have to get in line for that, too."
Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.

Yea... that monitor doesn’t look like anything recent.
What’s the name for a male Karen?
She should have said, “You couldn’t pay me enough to do that!”
I was having some issues with a credit union account and was getting the run around. I finally pulled the “You have no idea who I am, but you may want to take a better look at my account number” card
My account number was 0000014. My grandfather was one of the founders and I’m most likely their oldest living account holder.
They took care of my issue.
Maybe a policeman knows his name....
Who is he, Telly Savalas’s son with hair?
Thinks he’s a damn Greek God, but all he is is a goddamned Greek?
If he is THAT important, he should have his own plane!!!
“What’s the name for a male Karen?”
Chad, I think.
I try to minimize interaction with "customer service" in general and when possible as it is usually not even close to good service. Frankly, the guy was probably shafted by the airline and you almost never get any satisfaction, it's like the old saying, You can't fight city hall. The response, if truly extemporaneously, was quite sharp.
