If you were playing along at home, my wife missed her connecting flight and is overnighting in DC

Posted by oblique (aka kkuphal) Jun 26 '24, 19:53

Booked her on the 8:15am flight tomorrow. Got her a Hyatt room (suite actually) on points (not much availability - no surprise) and just waiting for her to deplane to book the Lyft ride for her.

Look out! I hope she doesn’t get any of that swamp stink on her! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jun 26, 20:13
why is the airline not paying for this? weather delays? -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 20:10 1
- It was weather. I may inquire after the fact if they'll do some kind of compensation but was much more interested in making sure she had a room. EDIT: United only would consider -- (edited) - oblique Jun 27, 04:07
What the heck? She just cost me a W. I'm benching her in favor of mafic in fantasy travel league. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 26, 19:56 11
- I shorted Mafic. He's gonna fail at a bribe someday and get disappeared in a country most Americans can't find on a map. -- nm - David Jun 26, 20:00 10
  - Which is all of them? -- nm - Reagen Jun 26, 23:42
  - To be fair, that could just mean he’s in the US. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 26, 20:44
  - honestly it's mostly a very casual request for cash. which is weird from a cop, but just saying "sorry no" usually works just fine. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 20:07 5
    - "usually" -- nm - David Jun 26, 20:10 4
      - even when it doesn't you can talk yourself out of it if you haven't done anything wrong. invoke the embassy and everyone gets quiet in a hurry. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 20:13 3
        
        No one wants to get a stern letter from Ottawa. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 26, 20:15 2
        
        more like "I don't want the boss to know I'm shaking you down." -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 20:41 1
        
        or he doesn't want his boss to find out he's been withholding his share -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 26, 21:11
  - I drafted him due to his skills with poison. I'm hoping that prevents the scenario you outlined. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Jun 26, 20:05 1
    - Oh, nice callback! I'd forgotten he's a murderer. -- nm - David Jun 26, 20:10
