Me: my flight is delayed, I’m going to miss my connection, I’m going to get off in Chicago and just want to check my bag to O’Hare
American: why do you want to do that?
Me: because I’m going to miss my connection and I want my bag
American: why don’t you just continue on to your final destination?
Me: I’m going to miss my connection, it’s the last flight.
American: why don’t you just wait and take the next flight?

I swear this went on for 5 minutes. I know they have done this before, but now claim they can’t. Someday I won’t have to fly on US airlines anymore.
