Read this whole thread!! Last few pages remind me of a sort of tool story I had a few years ago.
Sitting in the old Million Air in Teterhole my cell rings and it is charter cord saying they recieved a very last min request for some special kind of Johnny Walker blue or red or pink or who knows (dont drink) and could I grab a crew car and get some quick?
I was able and at that time we were wearing those stupid white shirts with stripes and a tie. So I find a grocery store down the raod with a liquor dept and run thru the aisles looking for the right color of bottle.
Around the corner comes a mother and her 6 or 7 yr old boy who loudly blurts out "ARE YOU A COP"? The horrified mother grabs him and scolds him lightly and then looks up at me red in the face and says
"sorry officer"

Hey, it could'a been worse!
When standing in the hotel lobby waiting for the crew van, I usually get, "Here boy, bring these bags to my room..." from the little old ladies!

Day 2 of 4, at 0600ish (dark out), standing with gate agent and waiting for our inbound aircraft to deplane. This time i had a small Starbucks in hand...
Passenger walks up, greet him with a smile and a nod before he blurts out: "YOU KNOW... It's NOT good when you see your pilot drinking a COFFEE!"
Wait... What..?
