Almost, But Not Quite

Today when I was flying home I had to change planes in Charlotte. I got excited because I got to my connecting flight about 1.5 hrs early. As I sat down, I heard an announcement I was hoping I would hear. The gate agent said they had oversold the flight and were looking for 5 volunteers to give up their seats for a later flight in exchange for a free roundtrip ticket. I was the first one who volunteered and some others did too.

Then I see this lady, her old parents, and her two kids go up there. I see them look back at me, sit down, go back up to the counter, sit back down, go back up again. I can't confirm this, but I think she hogged all the free tickets for her family. So I had to take the flight I was originally supposed to. I was really looking forward to getting a free ticket, I would have waited!

So I didn't get a free ticket. I'm extremely tired right now so I think I'm going to bed so I will be fresh for work.
