Sneaky sneaky
STOCKHOLM (AFP) – An elderly woman misunderstood instructions while checking in at Sweden’s main airport and was whisked down a baggage chute after she placed herself instead of her luggage on the belt, media reported Wednesday.
The 78-year-old woman, who was not named, was preparing to fly from Stockholm’s Arlanda airport to Germany on Tuesday when she lay down on an unmanned baggage belt in the belief she was following check-in instructions, the Upsala Nya Tidning local daily reported on its website.
She was quickly swept off to the baggage handling centre, where staff members helped get her back on her feet.
The woman suffered no serious injury and caught her flight as planned.
Aye right! I bet she knew what she was doing. She’s got to 78 year old, she’s been wanting to ride that baggage chute in an airport since she was younger but never thought she’d get away with it. She get’s to 78 and thinks to herself, ‘fuck it, im takin a wee ride here!’ climbs aboard and then uses the dottery auld wummin line. I admire her, I hope I get like that when im 78. Sneaky Sneaky!!
