Default You know you're having a bad layover when....

You're on a layover out of the country and you find out from a co-worker you're being furloughed next month. Oh yeah, and you get stuck in the hotel elevator on your way to breakfast.....

That sucks:-/ One of our FA's said he was interviewing with United. May be an opportunity for you there. Best of luck...

After a six Mai Tai night you find out that the security cameras at the pool are operational even at 03:00.....

Bummer. At least you've got a month to find a new job.

Also, you know you're having a rough layover when you get drunk, climb a palm tree, and fall from the top Actually, that was a pretty good night.

That does suck...good luck!

At least you didn't get lost in the woods wearing only a wristwatch and flip-flops...It's all fun and games until they have to send out the heat-seeking helicopters.

You know you're having a bad layover when...

...She says "good morning!"
...The restaurant says, "we only have decaf left."
...Housekeeping doesn't understand the "DND" sign on your door.
...You're given a key to an already occupied room...and they forgot to lock their door...and it's 2am when you roll in.
...The hotel says, "You guys are so late we gave away your rooms and we're sold out tonight."
