Gate A24, American Airlines flight to SF on Dec 26: gate agent checking in tickets lets me on, then decides I wasn't sweet enough agreeing to exit row requirements, tells me to come back out and not board until my crossbody purse (which is 3inches by 4inches) is combined with my backpack. Which it obviously will fit, but she wanted to do it to be obnoxious and create more trouble. Because I am obviously just going to immediately have to take it back out after boarding.
Didn't catch her name. But yay for small people taking advantage of the small amount of power they get to make people's lives just a little bit more difficult. Happy holidays to you too. Hope that gave you extra joy to exercise this infinitesimally small bit of power.
