Speaker 6: I went to fly to my sister's bachelorette party and

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 6: I went to check into my flight on my phone

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 6: and it didn't work. So when I got to the airport,

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 6: I went to the kiosk and it also aired. I

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 6: just went to the help desk for American Airlines and

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 6: asked them to check me in.

38
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: They're like sure.

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 6: So they go to check in and errors for them too,

40
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 6: and they're like, Oh, don't even worry. You probably just

41
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 6: put your name or your birthday in wrong. Let us

42
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 6: call someone and get it fixed. And I'm freaking out.

43
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 6: I'm going to miss my flight. And they get off

44
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 6: the phone. The lady looks nervous and she's like, ma'am,

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 6: I'm really sorry to tell you this, but you've actually

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,840

Speaker 1: Can you tell me?

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 6: I like an email from corporate security telling me that

50
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 6: I've been banned because I was having sexual relations with

51
