A missed stop


Published/Last Modified on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 7:47 PM CDT

Boudreaux, a big executive, boarded a New Orleans-to-Los Angeles train.

He explained to Thibodeaux, the porter, "I'm a heavy sleeper, but I want you to be sure and wake me up at 3 a.m. for the stop at San Antonio. I don't care what I say, you just make sure I get off at San Antonio."

The next morning Boudreaux woke up in Los Angeles. He was furious. He found Thibodeaux and really gave him an earful before hustling off to purchase a return ticket to San Antonio.

After he left, one of Thibodeaux's co-worker, Simoneaux, said, "How can you stand there and let that passenger abuse you like that?"

"That's nothing," said Thibodeax. "You should have heard the guy curse me that I made get off at San Antonio."
