This might belong in the DYKWIA thread, and mods feel free to move it.

This past Friday afternoon I was flying TPA-ATL.

While waiting at the gate, I noticed this lady hovering near the gate counter before boarding. I normally wouldn't have paid any attention except that she was wearing her DM bag tag around her neck in one of those clear plastic pouches on a chain.

Maam, it's a bag tag, not a dog tag like soldiers wear, and no one but you is impressed.

Anyway, I am the last person to board with First. I get to my row, and stop to put my rollerboard in the overhead. Suddenly this DM bag tag lady is right behind me muttering to herself. This is going to be fun.

I take my seat in 4A, and guess who sits down in the bulkhead EC seat behind me?

Some poor guy sits next to her, and I then hear her go off that I had "stolen her upgrade and how she was going to write Delta to complain". See she's a DM (even wearing her DM bag tag to show everyone), and I'm just a PM/MM and she ranks ahead of me. I have my PM tag on my backpack like a good little Jr. DYKWIA, since I'm just PM and all.

Hey lady:

1. I can hear you.
2. I didn't steal your upgrade, I paid for a First Class Seat.
3. It's only an hour flight.
4. Get over yourself.

And # 5, thanks for standing in the aisle so that I couldn't get out of my row ahead of you.

I now know where the center of the universe is, and I'm still not impressed.

Nope. Couldn't be that. Nobody does that.

"Dear DM lady wearing your DM bag tag around your neck . . ."

What, no pics??? Surely, someone like that would luv to pose for a pic to instantly be made famous with the click of a mouse!

***Also, I hava kinda/sorta related story to post, when I can figure out the pic thing. Somebody please PM me with the best/easiest free photo sharing website. Thanx.

Next time I'm taking a picture. I was just too stunned at the time.

It was her Diamond necklace!

I would have expected nothing less from you. Priceless

Sometimes a leash IS appropriate.

PS - not me, I am STILL not yet a MM!



PPS - this was done as a joke by a reader btw.

You're not missing much, except for that MM gift!

Renes Points

Well... I think the SHENA factor goes up by 20% or more by using the "I am a MM"?

To bad you didn't get a pic

At least there is something left to strive for at DL.

DYKWIA2014

True.

This one is a bag tag (although the color is off), but with the OP's description of the clear pouch, wonder whether it was her DM membership card rather than a b(r)ag tag.

Maybe she's married to the dude with the diamnd medallion hat that's been seen a few times?

Although I'm just PM MM scum, I have a beat up GM MM tag on my roll aboard because it's the last of the old style with my SkyMiles number on it. And I love all the dirty looks I get from DMs and PMs
