Eye Spy 33: Do You Know Who I Am?

It’s Friday so it must be time for another issue of Eye Spy. This week’s video comes from the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 so is bound to be good for a laugh – and also to be completely bonkers. This week’s silly story is something you’d probably see on Airport or Airline…an irritate customer making a pratt of themselves for all to see.

With the Eurovision Song Contest comes plenty of chances to mock our European neighbours as they display their strange musical/dance/costume choices for all of Europe to see. As ever this year’s contest was no different and while bloc voting might have been mostly absent the bizarre most definitely wasn’t. It wasn’t just the musicians displaying the bizarre this year; the presenters were trying to get in on the act too! During the trip to each country for the vote results there were a number of presents that raised an eye brow or too. Just see our Eurovision in Photos [ click here >> ] feature to see what we are on about!

Anyway trying to pick the “best” video of Eurovision 2009 from your suggestions was quite hard as some of the entries truly were nuts. Moldova for example was mind boggling while Armenia was two sisters waving their arms about – and of course arm, waving sisters wins every time!

Top Silly Story:

No doubt you have caught an episode of Airline or Airport where some irritate customer is having a go at the poor Check-In staff for some reason or the other. Usually the poor member of staff is doing their best to help the customer even though they are being sworn at – and nine times out of ten whatever the problem is it’s usually the customers fault anyway. Well this email we’ve had is off such a situation where an angry customer gets more than he bargained for from the member of staff on the desk – and quite right too!

An award should go to the gate attendant at Luqa airport.  A crowded Malta-London flight was cancelled. She was the lone attendant in charge of re-booking a long line of inconvenienced travelers. Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and said, “I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be FIRST CLASS”.

  

The attendant replied, “I’m sorry sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these people first, and I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.” The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly, so that the passengers behind him could hear, “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?”

  

Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed her public address microphone: May I have your attention please? May I have your attention please?” she began.  With her voice being heard clearly throughout the terminal, she said, “We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find his identity, please come to Gate 14.”

 

With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically, the man glared at the attendant, gritted his teeth and said, “F*** You!” Without flinching, she smiled and said, “I’m sorry, sir, but you’ll have to get in line for that too.”
