The $270 Question
Why? Why the hell is an overweight bag to London, even by a single solitary pound, cost so much money? According to American Airlines, thats just the way it is between New York and London. Not so much an airline thing, more a country thing. The woman who looked into it for me was just as shocked as I was, but thats the way it is.
What's more important to ask is just why the hell I agreed to pay it? Why the hell was I even lugging all that crap in the first place? It would've been cheaper to send it FedEx or DHL, but no, I have to be a nice guy and pack it with my luggage and get raped over the cost of having an overweight bag. I know I'm just way too nice, and as a result, nice guys get taken advantage of, and they sit there with a smile on their face the whole time.
My smile is way gone. No more. Matt Express Delivery Service via NY to London is officially closed. Why? For one reason, I don't like dragging my luggage around to weigh it before I leave, and I'm not going to start. I'm just not going to put myself in that position to be taken advantage of like that again. I don't deserve it, and other people don't deserve my nice treatment sometimes.
I always knew in my heart that I did too much for Elena, but I wanted to believe she deserved it, not anymore. She even said so herself this weekend that she didn't, and I'm beginning to agree with her. I feel a rant coming on and I want it to stop before I get out of control. I'm just pissed about the money and I know Elena can't pay me back and I have a strong feeling her parents aren't going to reimburse me for it, so I'm stuck paying for it. My dad said he'd pay me bag, but I can stand on my own two feet and take responsibility for my actions, which I plan on doing.
In case you can't tell, I'm pissed, and will be for quite some time. Still don't want to talk about it.
