See that wasn't painful?
I got a call today from my Mom, whose first comment was “we’ve got a problem, or rather…YOU have a problem.” OK, I’m thinking, what kind of problem could I possibly have that a> she would know about, or b> she would find it necessary to call me in the middle of the day to yell at me about?
Apparently she was looking at an itinerary that I emailed her about 2 months ago for a future trip and called to tell me that the flight left this morning and that I had booked it on the wrong day. .. “oh, well that’s not good” followed by silence…(Mom is yelling in my ear telling me I had better straighten this out)…followed by a loud (“ALRIGHT!!! I’LL TAKE CARE OF IT……………..MOM!” (CLICK).
Now, i wasn’t really mad or upset…there wasn’t much I could change the fact that I wasn’t on a flight that I didn’t need to be on….so I called the airline and told the lady what I had done and she said she’d put us on the same flights for the time when I needed….then asks “there? that wasn’t painful now was it?” I was like wheeew!…”no it wasn’t, thanks.” She then says…”the difference is $360, how would you like to charge?” ……..”uh what?”
How do you go from “see that’s not painful” to “$360 please?”
Luckily they refunded the flight and i was able to go online and rebook the flight at the online rate and the mistake didn’t cost anything after all.
I did book the hotel for the right date..
