Freaky coincidence


OK, another one for the fight experiences this time. This is a freaky coincidence which is happening with me right from the time I took my first flight. And its not that it happens only 3 out of 5 times, rather the probability of occurrence is 1, i.e. no longer it is a probability, and rather it has become a certainty. I know it would be hard to believe, but you have to.

Each time I travel by air, the seat next to me is always empty. I’ve been on approximately 8 domestic and 10 international flights till date and never have I been sitting next to an occupied seat. The height was reached when I was returning to India from Frankfurt last January. I was told at the ticketing counter that they cannot allot me a seat as the flight is overbooked and it is advisable to reach the boarding gate early so as to get the boarding pass without any problems. The word “over-booked” itself tells you that there are too many people to travel on the same flight. Yet, to my what-the-hell-is-this surprise, when I boarded the flight, the next seat was empty.

I don’t know what the reason is; as there can’t be any. It is just a weird thing which keeps on happening to me each time I fly. I will definitely publish at “counter-post” once I meet with an exception to this.

Have you heard of the "EXST" service? Its a service provided to the passenger, usually on request: an extra seat next to your seat so you can travle comfortably. Now, does this mean the airlines is giving you a silent message that your seat-occupancy-ratio is more than a normal person's? :)

May be there is something wrong with you.

May be people dont want to sit with you.

May be when people see it is "PETROSH" sitting next to them, they cancel their flights and run for their lives.

May be you are a gay.

It is better to avoid these awkward talks here; both direct and indirect.
