checked out

A man flying British Airways was mortified to find a passenger in his row had already arrived at her final destination. Mr P. Trinder was moribund at the grim discovery his fellow traveller, a woman in her 70's, was in fact a cadaver. When he expressed his grave disquiet to the airlines, he was left cold at their response:

"[they] dismissed his concerns by telling him to “get over it.”

Stiff luck! Although I agree she should probably have been left in the departure lounge. Or perhaps next time Mr Trinder might better acquaint himself with the airline's policy regarding carri-on luggage.
