Funniest things said to you while in uniform?
I really enjoyed the other thread about the funniest things said over the radio so I wanted tweak the question a little bit.
What are some of the funniest things that have been said to you while you were in uniform?

"where's my bag" (random pax in terminal says to me).
In baggage claim I say.
" they said we'd get it back plane side".
"well then it's probably on the jet bridge. You'll have to go back to your gate. " I say.
" what gate was It?" he asks me.
I have no idea, what airline were you on? I ask him.
"I don't know"
What city did you fly here from?
" I forget, it was a connection". He says.
Well then I can't help you!

My FIRST TIME EVER in ORD flying for Comair (DL has (had, this was like 2 years ago..not sure if they're still this small) 4 gates in O'Hare).
Lady passenger walks up to me.
lady: "do you know where United flight XXXX is?"
me: "well, not off the top of my head but we can go to these monitors and find out"
lady: "well you WORK here don't you?"
me: "not really, i'm just passing through, I work for a feeder for Delta based in JFK this is my first time here!"
lady: "well fine" and she turns around and storms off
me: ::laughter inside::

Walking through the parking lot at DFW, a lady comes running up to me and shouts, tell them to hold my airplane, tell them to hold my airplane I am late. Since this was before cell phones were really "portable" I grab my pager and say ok, i just sent them a message and they are holding the plane for you.

A business man points to a sign that says H3-H9 ^ (that's an up arrow), and asks "how do I get upstairs?"
I glance up at the arched ceiling, complete with I beams and sunlights, that clearly has no upstairs, and explain to him that the up arrow symbol means straight ahead on 2 dimensional signs.

Lady pax: "Sir, do I look for my destination when trying to find what gate my flight is at on the monitors, because I don't see Detroit and we are in Detroit?"
Another time, I was eating at Chili's in LGA on a long airport break and the guys next to me were in a hurry to catch their flint but they had full beers (in plastic cups). They were wondering if they could take them to go, so of course...
To each other: Hey sake the pilot he would know.
Them: we can take are beers with us right?
Me: not sure, don't know much about the drinking rules at the airport
