As a former ramper...
Puke was always the worst. Sometimes they would be courteous and hand you the little bag as they got off the plane. Somtimes you would find the bag sitting in the seat, and worst case they never made it into the bag.
One kid stuck his gum all over the window.
And then there's the issue of how baggage is handled. After working the ramp, I decided that I would never check my own bags unless absolutely necessary.
I give my endorsement to that hard sided Samsonite luggage. Expensive, but it never busts open.
The band Survivor's ("Eye of the Tiger") giutars missed the connection once. I wonder if they ever got to do the show.
I've seen rotting fish from INL that missed the connecting flight, and sat in the heat for hours.
So many memories...
