A 101-year-old woman keeps getting mistaken for a baby because of an error with an airline’s booking system.
The problem occurs because American Airlines’ systems apparently cannot compute that Patricia, who did not want to share her surname, was born in 1922, rather than 2022.
The BBC witnessed the latest mix-up, which she and the cabin crew were able to laugh off.
“It was funny that they thought I was only a little child and I’m an old lady!” she said.
But the centenarian says she would like the glitch to be fixed as it has caused her some problems in the past.
Is it really that hard to lie about your age
She’s 101. Fuck no would I lie about my age if I was 101. I’d brag about it.
“All those bullies back in high school? Fuck you, I outlived every last one of you assholes!”
On a plane? The details you enter have to match your ID.
TSA will send you back to the ticket gate if your ID doesn’t match booking details.
