I had the unfortunate experience of flying Sleazyjet from Paphos back to Manchester on Thursday. Because I didn't pre-print my boarding card I was put on standby and made to sweat for an hour before they graciously allowed me to board their poxy plane. I had paid for a ticket and turned up in plenty of time and all the agent had to do after labelling my case was press P to print a boarding card. They had a seat on the plane and I had a ticket; they just wanted to punish me.
While I sat fuming I got to think about all the other lies we get from big corporations:
"We will shortly be passing through the cabin with a selection of duty-free goods. Don't assume your choice will be available on the return flight because we don't re-stock at the destination airport."
"7 other people are looking at this flight now."
"Only one remaining at this price."
"For operational reasons the (poxy Northern Fail pacer) 08.00 service to Clitheroe has been cancelled." (Means driver still asleep in bed)
"Sorry for the delay, which is caused by the need for safety checks." (Impossible to ascertain the truth of this one)
"Due to trespassers on the line the service to X has been delayed"
There are loads of other excuses and lies in the Big Book of Corporate lies. Anyone else got any examples?
