I walk outside to have a cigarette, flip the bird to the UA skycap on duty, and walk to my car--as at this point, I'm not going to make it to my friend and colleauge's funeral.
(a side note: my premex coworker slid thru the elite line without having the courtesy to look for me in the Y line, and the non-premex co-worker checked in at the gate, clearing security with a paper itin. )

Shame on you for taking it out an somebody who had nothing to do with the situation.
I'm sorry this happened to you,and I agree that UA should open the counter early enough to accomodate those making the early flight, but in the future, please make sure you have proper documentation with you so you can check-in at the gate. You can print intineraries (even those not made there) on united.com, under "my itineraries" under "planning travel".
Please understand, that I'm not saying in any way this was your fault, but that it could have easily been avoided with better planning.
