Overheard at the CX ticketing counter at HKIA on Friday night:

Young man: "Hello. Where should I fly?"
Booking agent: "I beg your pardon?"
Man: "I want to fly somewhere and I don't know where I should go. Where do you think I should go?"
Agent: "I cannot decide that for you. It is very busy and there are a lot of people in the queue. Now where do you want to go?"
Man: "I don't know. How about Bangkok?"
Agent: "It is Chinese New Year this week and the flights to Bangkok are all heavily booked."
Man: "I could go somewhere else. I have already been to Bangkok."
Agent: "*pause* Do you have a phone?"
Man: "Yes."
Agent: "The wifi in this airport is free. Go and sit down over there and look up the Cathay Pacific website. When you have decided where you want to go, then you can get back in the queue and I will try to find you a flight. Next please."

I just tried not to laugh as the agent had obviously had a long shift and was not taking any of this guy's nonsense. She did well not to tell him to go to hell. I'm all for spontaneous travel, but come on, if you really cannot choose your own destination, roll a dice or something.
