Of course I may be wrong and be one of the few who do not enjoy the visa process.

Wow!! All i could think of was – NZ immigration rocks, they’re the best I’VE ever encountered, wonder what happened here. Glad to know they still rock There’s just something about those kiwis!

Yeah, I’ve gone all righteous about things that I was redfaced over later. Life man, it happens.

In June 2008, I had an unpleasant run in with an airline employee regarding me not being booked on a flight. After the self check-in kiosk failed to print out my boarding pass, I spoke with the airline employee behind the counter. She informed me that there was no record of me being booked on a 10:00 AM flight to Jacksonville. I probably wasn’t as tactful as you. I kinda made a scene about it. Told the lady she was calling me a liar. And on and on I went.

She ended up placing me on a flight that left about an hour after our encounter at no additional charge. It wasn’t until I was able to get my itinerary up on my iPhone while waiting to board (I might have still been on the Edge network at the time) that I realized I’d mistaken the arrival time of my flight with the departure time and missed my original flight. Oops.

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve stormed around certain about something only to find out later….
Glad I’m not alone!

Yikes, that sucks! Thanks for sharing your story, though. Sounds like you are doing fine and have rebounded now though. This is a great example.

Thanks, Elizabeth!

This is such an interesting topic, especially the points about eye witness and how we can *convince* ourselves of one truth or another!
