Why are you here? Honestly? What is your point? Just to play devil's advocate? Just to pour salt on a wound? Just kick someone while they're down?

I left a post giving people constructive methods of contacting the proper authorities to get something done-- and I said, "Use it wisely." Because I'm aware of how many people whine over "minor" issues, as you say.

Right now, you're playing this "sh*t happens" card, as if I should just sit there and "let it happen"...

Atrocities should not be tolerated... In fact, if you've been wronged, I hope you find a legal method to make wrongs right.

This -- $250 --- is an atrocity. It is unfair and NO ONE should have to deal with what I'm dealing with. And so I left a constructive post, detailing how to take action.

For you to come off as "well, (duh), what do you expect?" is sad because you are willing to "take it" from the backend any time someone p*sses on you. In fact, you like it and perhaps seek it out.

If that's the case, go take a hike. Go find an airline that can give you a proper backend shaft and leave us (the ones not willing to take it) alone.

Yes, I have had many things happen while on trips, things that didn't go my way, results of events where I've had to essentially, "suck it up."

Delayed flights where I've had to sleep on the floor of the airport, lost baggage, rude (and probably overworked) flight attendants, flights flat out canceled...

I'm not a flying novice.

And yes, I'm aware of buying things in your destination. You think you're a genius for pointing that out?

But guess what...?

If you take a trip, you sometimes find things you want to bring back with you --- they're called "souvenirs" -- and sometimes they are sporadic and unplanned. In fact, that's the general nature behind them.

And sometimes you don't plan on heading back to that location or returning on a trip like that again.

Then what? What is your resolve then?

You're such an effin' smartass, who has "everything" figured out, right?

You, with your smug responses...

If you were put in the same position, you wouldn't roll over --- it may not be a $250 bottle of liquor meant for a family member, but it will be something -- and the day it happens, you will feel cheated.

And then whom do you turn to?

I pray that happens to you. I pray you feel the pain I feel after being stolen from -- and no one wants to help you, no one cares enough to.

...and your plea falls on deaf ears.

And I will laugh when the person behind the customer service counter tells you, "You should've expected that. Sh*t happens."

Effin' sympathizer -- go home. Find someone else to "constructively criticize."

And yes, you're a scofflaw. You don't respect basic rights of people. You don't respect justice.
