Idiot

I am an idiot. Listen to what idiotic thing I did today.

I flew to Barcelona and feeling pretty smug on ethe flight because I'd employed my stuffed raincoat pockets trick again to get more crap onto the plane. My backpack was in the overhead bin, and my raincoat was under the seat in front of me. When we landed, I exited the plane, took the shuttle bus, got onto the subway, OH MY GOD WHERE IS MY RAINCOAT. I LEFT MY RAINCOAT ON THE PLANE. In the pockets of the raincoat were two pairs of shoes, my entire collection of clean of underwear, my electricity converter, AND MY CAMERA. I thought I was going to die right there. Six weeks of pictures gone. I got to my hostel, told the desk clerk what I'd done, and he called the airport for me and spoke to the in Spanish. Miracle of miracles, my jacket had been turned in and would be waiting for me to pick up.

So, I got back on the subway, and then the shuttle bus, and finally got to the airport again. I asked the lady at the info desk where I should go, and she was like, go down there and turn right. So I went down there but there was no where to turn right. So I asked her again, and she's like, you go into where it says Arrivals. I was like, you want me to go in the area that says NO ENTRY? And she's like, si. So I think this lady is crazy and I go ask someone else. This guy says the same thing. Go in the place where everyone else is coming out of the secure area. I was like, am I going to get arrested?! And he goes...here's the kicker...."This isn't your country. We don't do that here.". I wanted to be like, well, no one has flown airplanes into your buildings either, but I kept my mouth shut.

so I did what they said. I went against the flow of people exiting the secure area of the airport and not a single soul asked me what I was doing. No one stopped me. I went right on in and went to the easyJet desk, got my raincoat, camera and underwear intact, and went right on back to the hostel. I will never say a bad thing about easyJet again. The end.
