UA Club Agent - a new one for me

While stuck at ORD waiting for a flight to LHR, stood in line for about 20 minutes to speak with a customer service agent, and when I got called up and was standing right on front of the agent, she got a phone call and passed the time...well...doing this. (and for the record, one of the flying pieces of nail flew up and hit me in the cheek)

I'm all about multitasking, but really?

Wow-- I don't think I've ever cut my nails in front of someone that wasn't family, let alone at work!

Did she even look up long enough to noticed she was having her picture taken?? Well, at least she isn't a bartender.

I was pretty stealth with the picture, but she was looking down the entire time and spoke about 3 words to me ("I don't know"). Had she looked up, she may have saved herself from being plastered on FT

+1. Or maybe the basis for class action litigation.

That photo is going to go viral in ways we can't begin to imagine.
