I have many stories from when I worked as an aiport ticket/gate agent.

One that comes to mind.........Checking in a purple hair, elderly woman wearing her polyester Sunday's best.

Ticket agent - "You were reserved a window seat. Is that what you prefer?"

The woman pats her hair a bit and says very grandmotherly, "Oh no dear, I dont want a window seat. I just got my hair done. The wind will mess it up."

hmmmmm.........
