I heard of a situation where the check in agent referred to "free tickets". The stupid customer gets excited and claims, "They weren't free. I paid $1,600 dollars for them!"

ROTFL. I bet that has happened a few times for sure.

I always wonder how often that sort of thing happens when folks sell "1st class ticket anywhere in USA" etc on eBay. You have no clue what kind of savvy the buyer has. (Or more to the point, does NOT have!) Great way to get your account closed.
