Reminds me of a story.. not on UA but I was checking in once at the F counter. There was one person in front of me and perhaps 7-8 pax in line for the Y counter. This pax had a cat in a carryon bag, and spent forever arguing about who-knows-what, including that they had closed the security line closest to her gate and what a shame it was. The cat would chime in with a meow from time to time, and it was about 10 minutes before I was served. I would have checked in much faster from the Y line
