You know that you’ve done something very, very wrong when you force a new mother to use the word “clusterfuck”.

From A Mom, a Blog, and the Life In-Between:

I’ve never had an easy or pleasant experience at Newark International Airport. Ever. I’ve flown in and out of it about 10 times in my life, and the experiences just keep getting worse.

We bagan with a miserable clusterfuck at the self check-in at the American Airlines counter. That’s more AA’s fault, but whatever - they had about 60 people crowding the area, with tons of luggage strewn everywhere, and one guy working the desk. One.

By the time we got to the security line, our flight had been delayed 20 minutes. Fifteen minutes later, when we reached our gate, it was delayed an hour and a half. And why was our flight delayed when the plane was sitting right there at the gate? No one would freakin’ communicate with us. The flight was severely overbooked, there were 24 people on standby.

We didn’t get in until 11:10 p.m., two hours later than we should have. By the time we got our luggage and got home, it was almost 1 a.m. Oh, and I have to work today.

Earlier today, MiamiGirl asked her readers “Do Miamians Read Blogs?”

After reading about Tere’s experience, Newark Airport better hope the answer is no.
