Re: Your Stupid “For Sky Cap Use Only” Cart
Dear Grumpy Old Man:
You may or may not remember me.
I will probably never forget you.
On Saturday, June 20, 2009, I arrived on a plane at the Manchester Airport five hours late with my two little boys, three backpacks and two huge suitcases.
I attempted to use your cart to haul our suitcases, our backpacks and my two sleepy, grumpy kids just outside the door to wait on my sister-in-law to pick us up. I had every intention of returning your cart to the middle of the floor as soon as I unloaded it.
You approached me out of nowhere just as I got everything loaded onto your beloved cart and informed me that I was not allowed to use the cart unless I was willing to pay you to roll the cart 19 inches out the door.
It was 3:34 am.
Are you friggin’ kidding me?
I was by myself with two boys, three backpacks and two big, honkin’ suitcases containing everything but the kitchen sink. Do you think I could juggle those with two sleepy boys hanging off of me?
It was 3:34am for pete’s sake.
There was not another soul within a forty- mile radius who needed or wanted to use your stupid cart.
Just me, my two boys, our three back-packs and two ginormous suitcases.
Because after all, did I mention it WAS 3:34 am?
Oh, and can I just say that you sounded like a putz when you read the side of the cart to me. I could plainly see the words, ”For Sky-Cap Use Only.” For some reason, I just assumed that surely to goodness even a grumpy, old man would have compassion for a mommy travelling with her two boys and allow the precious sky-cap cart out of his site for five minutes.
Sadly, I was mistaken.
SHAME. ON. YOU!
You need to be nicer or you need to retire.
Oh, and if by some chance you stumble onto ‘From Inmates To Playdates’ today, please know that I think you could seriously use an anti-grump pill.
Love,
The gal from WV who is still thinking about your grumpy disposition and your stupid cart.

We will just have to pray for that old man!
Oh man…I do not like grumpy at all. Especially in people that should know better.
