Forget the long lines, the lost luggage, the price of airline tickets, cramped seats and the other common reasons to hate flying. What really irks me is the power-tripping you encounter when checking in. After waiting in line for your turn to check in, the person at the check-in counter decides that they must flex their supposed authority. I’m under the weight restrictions for luggage, don’t have a carry-on, have my ticket and passport in hand… just get me on the plane. I even smiled when I  approached the counter!

Such is my Pet Peeve for this Monday.
