Short story:


Almost 3 weeks ago, I had my first every, "oh shit, i'm going to miss my flight" moment.
We were in williamsburg and had to leave at 3am to catch our DCA 6:50am flight. I somehow turned my alarm off and we woke at 4am. I sped my ass off to get there, park, were those people running in the airport to the southwest bag check in and kiosk. Got my tickets...it was exactly 40 minutes before flight. Put our sticker on our bag....went up to the lady to give the bags...she checked our IDs, looked at our tickets and said "oh no no no, my supervisor said i can't take no more bags for the 6:50 Miami flight. He said we can't take no more once we get to 30 minutes before flight time". I looked at my phone and it was 6:12.....38 minutes before flight. I informed her of such and she said "all i know, is my supervisor said we can't take no more bags 30 minutes before". I said, "it's 38 minutes". We went through this dance for 2 more minutes...tried to talk to supervisor, but he said "no more bags". So she was going to reroute them. Nothing we could do, so we left bags with her and made our way to the gate and just made it. Last ones on the plane.

The lady had no concerns, no interest in helping, didn't want to look at anything as far as next flights were concerned. Just was not interested in participating. Complete air of "i don't give a shit" from her. First time I've experienced that with a southwest employee.

Plane was delayed for about half hour after we boarded. Somehow, our bags made it anyway with a bright green "LATE" tag on them. It was a miracle.
