Perhaps you didn't read the first two responses to this original post. They also questioned the OP's timeline and basically said she was ultimately responsible for being late. And just how do you define "mercilessly."

Ok AADFW tell me this. How many airports have you been to where the employee access to the ticket counter area was not behind the counter? There's the customer area, the counter, the workspace for the ticket agents behind the counter, and then the doors which lead to the "back of the house" areas and are almost always behind the counter area. So it was not an unreasonable assumption on my part that the OP would have to actually cross over into the ticket counter area in order to bang on the door. Given that scenario the OP was indeed lucky they weren't arrested or at the very least escorted from the airport for trespassing in an area where only employees should be. Would you even think of going behind the counter at a bank in order to knock on the floor manager's office door? I think not! And if you read the post it says at first the ticket agent she encountered was merely dismissive and unhelpful. The agent didn't become "rude" until she took it upon herself to bang on the door at which point I think anyone in a similar situation would have every right to tell someone to "bugger off."

Would you care to elaborate on that ridiculous statement please? You don't know me!

Then just why are you here? If you don't like my comments then you have an option. Ignore them! Just what is your agenda that you attack me at every opportunity?
