Correct, I should be in Vienna. I am not. I am sitting at home torturing my computer. Why? I was not able to get on my flight. I got up at 5:30 AM, smashed and slowed I reached the airport Frankfurt at 7:00 AM. The ticket in my hand I approached the quick check-in machines not expecting any troubles. I inserted the first piece of paper of the three in the wallet. Amazingly enough, the machine told me boldly: »You are not booked on this flight«. I took a closer look, it was the ticket from Vienna to Frankfurt. Okay, clear cut, I took the next piece of paper I had in my wallet. Again, the machine denied the booking. I had inserted the receipt. Slowly I got impatient, because I was running out of time. The moment, when I tried to realize my last option, the machines gave in, at least 5 of them. The system collapsed saying »störung«.
Now an airport employee came towards me. I felt already guilty, but pretended to be innocent and astonished. The guy explained to me in a very poor German – I had problems to understand him in my fairly retarded status – to refer to the counter. So I did. The lady solved my problem easily. »Your are not booked on this flight, your flight is on the 25th of July.» A »shit« slipped off my tongue.
This is why I am here. A flight to Vienna and back would have cost me more than 1000,- €. Thus, I stayed home. I got my lesson. Don’t do to many things at a time.
To testify that I was there:
