(CBC) Remember that guy who wrote song about United Airlines baggage handlers breaking his guitar? When flying to Denver to deliver keynote speech on customer service, UA lost his bags
You'd think that with him being Canadian and forced to use `Air Canada', he'd be used to being treated like dog-sh*t. Or has UA achieved a level of douche-baggery that Air Canada could only dream of.
oldfarthenry:Or has UA achieved a level of douche-baggery that Air Canada could only dream of.
I've never flown Air Canada, but I have flown cattle class on Ryan Air, and I will say that Ryan Air is head and shoulders above UA in almost all areas.
This guy obviously flies enough to know that bags getting delayed is not the craziest thing to expect while flying. Especially if you show up at the airport just in time for your flight. You can run to your gate. Bags can't.
The Icelander:How dare he expect good customer service from an airline!
There is a $25 fee to upgrade from "Go fark yourself with a sharp stick" customer service to "Go fark yourself, but we'll give you lube" customer service. I guess he went for the former...
United Baggage Handler #1: Yo- Earl! Earl! Look at the name on this luggage! It's that United Hates Guitars guy! I'm gonna open it up and take a shiat in it. United Baggage Handler #2: Don't do that, Frank- everybody knows you had corn for lunch! UBH#1: Damn. Good thing you remembered. OK then, what should we do with it. UBH#2: See that dumpster over there, the one marked "explosive contraband and fragile musical instruments?" It's heading over to the shredder in about 20min. Chuck it in there. UBH#1: Alllllrighty then. 86'd One set of luggage. (High-fives all around. Fini)
Lost Thought 00:Why would anyone be foolish enough to check luggage in the first place?
No kidding. It sounds like he was going on a speaking engagement. That's what, 2-3 days, tops? If you aren't planning on being somewhere for more than 4 days, you don't need to check anything.
It's his fault his guitar was broken yet he whined like a biatch to the internet to get the company to pay for it. He's like those people who return gallons of milk to Home Depot and make such a scene that the managers pay them $4 just to get them to go away.

Son, there are only a few certainties in life but one of them is NEVER bet against an American or American company in a douchebag contest.
The are only a few things this once-proud nation still leads the world in; but advanced douchebaggery and general prickishness are WAY up top that list.

You'd return it too if your "milk" turned out to be "drywall paste"

Strangely enough, the first time an airline lost one of my bags was literally a week after commenting on Fark how I've never had my bags lost.

Not only should we allow companies to ream us daily, we shouldn't even COMPLAIN.
Because that would be disrespectful and whiny.
