LISTEN TO YOUR BETTER HALF

This happened a few days back when I was coming back with my family from Coimbatore after my vacation.  Our flight was booked from an Air India flight in the afternoon.  I decided to to start two and a half hours early for the flight, which saw some resistance from my wife initially but I convinced her by saying "You are not aware of the traffic here... We may get stuck in heavy traffic you never know.."  Reluctantly she agreed.
As luck will have it, there was no traffic on the road and the drive from our house to the Airport was of all but 10 min. My wife gave me a stare as we approached the Airport but I said "Just wait until you see the crowd at the Airport.  The baggage check can take ages..."
We entered the Airport.  As Shruti and my parents waited outside I went in with the luggage only to find that we were the first ones for the baggage check.  I was back in a minute and half.  The look on wife's face now was of "I told you so!" or simply the one any husband would hate.  But as an adamant husband I continued... "You know it is always good to come early as you would get a good seat in the middle of the craft".
So we continued in and got our boarding passes wishing our parents goodbye.  The seats numbers seemed pretty good and now it was my turn to say "I told you so"... 

Let us get the security checks done I said as there was nothing else to do at the shops and security checks may be quiet cumbersome sometimes.  But when things do wrong they go wrong all at the same time.  So, against my prediction we breezed through the security...
While we were seating at the waiting area on ground floor I was thinking to myself how bad can it all go. I could have been proved wrong on a couple of occasions but I will not stop taking my chances.  So as we were getting bored sitting at the lounge I told my wife lets get closer to the terminal from where we were supposed to board.  Reluctantly she followed me...  As we were climbing the stairs we noticed the escalator was not functioning. So we laboured our way through the stairs.  I told her... "the escalators must have gone bad".

We waited for 20 minutes outside the terminal thinking we were the only ones to board the flight from coimbatore.  Then we saw the escalator suddenly started moving..."Oh they fixed it" I said... only to be proven wrong the next moment...It was always serviceable only that people had started coming only now...
Within minutes the whole lounge was filled and I could only say "Atleast we got the best seat around here!"
By now Shruti's anger was replaced with laughter as she thought "how many times can a guy go wrong in one day..."
Well atleast she was wrong on that count...I was proved wrong on one last time in last four hours...
The seats we had got on our boarding passes were the last ones on the plane, in the most uncomfortable location.
Well this was not the first and not the last time I thought I knew more than I actually did, but certainly this was the worst one...
