A big company executive boarded a train in New York that was headed to Chicago via Buffalo.
He explained to the porter, “I’m a really heavy sleeper, but I want you to be sure to wake me up at 3:00am for the stop in Buffalo. I don’t care what I say, you just make sure I get off the train in Buffalo”.
The next morning the executive woke up to find himself in Chicago.
He was furious.
He found the porter and really gave him an earful before heading off to purchase a return ticket back to Buffalo.
After he left, a co-worker said to the porter, “How can you stand there and let that passenger abuse you like that?”
“That’s nothing”, said the porter, “you should have heard the guy who I put off the train in Buffalo!”
