Rant

Dear Delta Airlines,
I like to travel. Planes are magic technology and every landing makes the ground more appreciated. I have learned to sleep in strange positions to accommodate your wistful geometries and always thanks the flight attendant after the flight. I am polite to your gate agents, even when tired and the incompetence is obvious. Until now, I haven't complained, but I think you've gotten a little too comfortable with the current situation and it's become apparent that your performance is slipping.
In the past month, I've made 3 trips involving you. Of these three trips, you lost my luggage twice, delayed my flights twice, and took half an hour with baggage another time. You have made me leave security and go through getting my shoes ex-rayed again. You pretended to not understand how to print a boarding pass. You delayed flights then un-delayed them without announcing it. You delayed flights without announcing it, either. You have successfully convinced me to avoid the Atlanta airport altogether and may have convinced me against La Guardia as well. To add insult to injury, you just failed to have anyone staffing the baggage services counter when you did finally get my bag (not that you called to tell me). As far as you know, some homeless guy could have walked off with my bag. Your care and consideration are noted and appreciated and could be reciprocated with baggage fraud. I'm always so nice to you, why do you treat me like this?
I think I we may need to re-evaluate our relationship.

In addition to delta airlines, I would like to tell the TSA to enjoy my keychain leatherman. I didn't need it to function as my only screw driver anyways. Also, to TicketMaster you are actively living up to the moniker TicketBastard, charging an additional $13.50 on a $28 ticket. I work harder for that money than you do. And lastly, although I know it's my fault that my cell phone no longer works, but Sprint, I am no longer a child, you should not need parental consent for me to get a new (free!) phone. On that note, if anyone would like to hear from me ever again, you need to e-mail me your cell phone number for when I do get a new phone.
