BillyVance 34 #2 February 24, 2010 I have actually seen shit like that with my own eyes looking out windows from the terminals. Friend of mine from college had gotten an expensive bottle of cognac as a gift and he wasn't allowed to carry it on. So he wrapped it up with his clothes and put it in his checked baggage (one of those fabric kinds). When he went to claim his bag, there was a huge stain on one side. Yep, busted the bottle.

Nataly 38 #5 February 24, 2010 Quoteare we really surprised? It's about what I would expect. Yep.. Pretty much what I expected.. I avoid checking stuff in like the plague.. I reckon I can usually buy abroad, so I always bring only the bare essentials. If I'm carrying anything of value (sentimental or otherwise), I make sure I really need it with me and it fits in my carry-on."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeenan 14 #6 February 24, 2010 Quote ...I avoid checking stuff in like the plague... Good thinking. Of all the stuff one should avoid in checked baggage, I think THE PLAGUE should be high on the list. ...of course, it would be a good way to pay back those Baggage Monkeys. _____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome...

Quote Regardless of the pay you are on when you take the job you agree to do it properly. What world do you live in? Every place I have ever worked there is always people with the "I dont give a fuck attitude". I don't like it any more than you do. I'm just sayin.
