I had ran to my connecting flight, got on as the doors were about to close up (there were a few people still coming, also running).
I sat down, huffing from the run, I asked the flight attendant for a quick sip of water. I said this:
“Excuse me, sorry to bother you but I just had to run to catch the flight, can I get a sip of water? I’m gonna have a heart attack and die of thirst.” Jokingly but still huffing from the run. The captain heard it. Said a few words to another flight attendant, and off the flight I went.
Hindsight, I shouldn’t have made the comment and should have just gone to the restroom but… lesson learned. Southwest got me on a flight 45 minutes later to get home.
