STRANGE BUT TRUE (1)

In this industry, there are many occurrences that just baffle you on a daily basis. Sometimes its the simple, sometimes its the mundane, other times its outright STUPID.

The strange but true stories would be short stories that occur at the airport that just baffle me.
This story is about ignorance, its too often to see passengers that think they know it all. When you ask them questions (cautionary and security) they tell you how they have flown many times. How one was not born when they started to fly. So we tend to analyse passengers and ask such questions in a stylish manner.

So this passenger walks up to the check in desk, confident as usual, trying not to look like a first timer (like its a sin to be one).
Agent: "Goodmonrning sir, may i have you ticket and passport"

Passenger: Here, he says.

After asking all the questions, and bag placed on the belt to be sent to the baggage hall, his boarding pass, passport, ticket and departure form handed over to him.

Agent: Sir, please proceed to the boarding area.

The passenger, climbs up the belt and onto the conveyor belt only to find his way to the baggage hall.
Guess he thought that since his bag went down that way, that means that's the way to get to his destination.
Although his motives were questioned as passengers are not to go down like luggage. Airport security picked him up to question him.

So please, if you do not know the way to the boarding gates when travelling, and you cannot read the signs, please ask ground staff for directions. Don't go down the belt in an effort to get to the aircraft.
