Johannesburg to WHAT?...

I arrived in Johannesburg with like an hour to get to my next boarding gate so it didn’t feel like I had time to even take a breath. Once I was standing outside A5 I felt like I had time to relax a little bit. I went through the check points, got to the plane and was asked to check my luggage in. This went pretty quickly, and as I was about to board the flight the flight attendant took my ticket. I feel the need to tell you it was a man (I’m not sure if this makes a difference.) He then told me that I was on the wrong flight, and the one I was about to board was going to London. “No way! This is gate A5.” I proclaimed. This went back and forth for a while till he said they changed the boarding gate and you are about to miss your flight so you better run. At this point the taps were turned on and the waterworks began! I think I was so emotional from the rollercoaster past two days, that this was the last straw. Judging by the look on the flight attendants face, I realized he was joking and now felt horrible about his joke. His female counterpart gave him dagger eyes and immediately run to me threw her arms around me, and asked if I was okay. I explained that I had just let my family in pursuit of studying; she apologized and gave me time to compose myself. Once I was ready I made my way to my seat, the other flight attendant apologizing profusely. Not sure how he had expected that joke to turn out…but probably not that way…
