Do I look that bad???

Shortly after my last post, I boarded a plane for a flight to Atlanta. The flight was scheduled for 6am, so I was up and out of bed by 3:45am. Needless to say, I only got a couple hours of sleep.

The funniest thing happened as I crossed the threshold onto the plane. As usual, the flight attendant was there to greet every passenger as he or she boarded. While most people got the obligatory "good morning" or "welcome aboard", I got a very unique response. Upon my embarkation, I was greeted with "It looks like someone missed their morning coffee!"

Utterly confused and put on tilt by this statement I just smiled and nodded and plodded along towards row 35, seat A. While making my way to the back of the plane, I brushed off the comment as an idiotic statement.

About 30 minutes later, the flight attendants were finishing drink service and of course I was in one of the last rows to be served. The same flight attendant looked at me and instead of asking what I would like, simply asked "Coffee, sir?"

I replied, "No, I'll have a tomato juice, I don't drink coffee!"

Granted, it was early and I am sure I had a rather grim look on my face, but how bad must one look for a flight attendant to assume its ok to make comments like that? Give me a break, it was a 6 AM FLIGHT on a Saturday morning!!!!
