Wait! Wait! Wait!

The flight landed on schedule, but a plane was parked at our assigned gate.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Okay, we’re moving. Oops! A plane is blocking our path.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Okay, we’re at the gate. Oops! There’s no operator for the jetway.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Okay, the door is open now. Oops! They need to bring a wheelchair before we can leave.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

We’ve been standing for twenty minutes. They had enough time to get that wheelchair ready.

Okay, let’s go pick up the luggage on Carousel C.

Wait! Wait! Wait!
Wait! Wait! Wait!
Wait! Wait! Wait!

Oh, I think I see my suitcase on Carousel D. I’m not surprised. This happens frequently at Laguardia.

Okay, let’s catch the bus!

Wait! Wait! Wait! Twenty-five minutes in the cold!

Oh, the bus is crowded. Screw it. I’m 90 minutes late already. I’ll splurge for a cab.
