Can I borrow your sombrero?

   Ok, so I travel a lot. I am on an airplane quite often, and for the most part I try my best to give people the courtesy they deserve. I am nice and pleasant and I even try to make jokes when the situation is not looking too good. But recently, I was faced with a real grouch.
   While travelling home the other day, I experienced the tri-fecta in bad travel days. Late plane, late night flight, and full overhead bins. As I boarded the plane, I noticed that down towards my seat, the bins were already closed, indicating that they were full. So I placed my suitcase in a bin near the front of the plane and made my way towards my seat. I sat, I got comfortable and prepared myself for a short flight.
   Then, I saw the stewardess making her way back and mumbling under her breath as she was carrying the biggest and ugliest sombrero in her hands. She was saying something to the effect of "This is bigger than a floatation device, who could possibly think this would fit in a bin?" I giggled a little bit, and leaned against the window for a nap.
   After a delightful flight, and a great landing, it was finally time to deboard and get home. I joined the line moving forward and when I got to the area where I had left my bag, I saw a man standing there. I asked very sweetly "Sir, I just need to grab that pink bag there." And then he very angrily stepped aside, ignoring the fact that my hands were full and I am a smallish female and said to me, "Thank you very much for taking up this space. I had to put my things in the back of the plane because this space was taken." I told him that my bins were full, to which he again angrily replied, "No they weren't!"
  I smiled as nicely as I could, took down my heavy suitcase, and said "Thank you for your assistance, have a great day. See you soon." And then I left the plane.
   Later at the baggage carousel, I saw the man's family. Then I saw him making his way towards them. The only thing in his hand, was the Giant, Ugly Sombrero!!! Man did I feel bad for taking that space away from him.
   Who buys a sombrero anyway?
