A guy's flight got delayed 6 hours last spring.
He grabbed a $14 airport sandwich, sat at the gate scrolling his phone, and assumed that was just how flying worked sometimes. No complaint filed, no claim submitted, nothing. He flew home three hours later than planned, drove back to his apartment, and never thought about it again.
His sister-in-law a former airline customer relations rep who spent 5 years processing exactly these situations before moving into consumer advocacy found out about the delay weeks later, almost as an afterthought during a family dinner. She asked one question:
"Did you file anything?"
He didn't even know that was something you did. He thought a delay was just something that happened to you, like bad weather or a flat tire an inconvenience with no recourse, something you absorbed and moved on from.
She spent 17 minutes at his kitchen table walking him through how airline compensation actually works not the vague, empty "we're sorry for the inconvenience" version everyone's used to hearing over the intercom, but the actual regulatory and contractual rules most passengers have never once been told exist.
Three days after filing, $275 landed back on his card for a flight he'd already flown, already forgotten, and had mentally filed away as just a bad travel day.
Here's everything she told him:

Reflection ya hii angalia mitihani ya leseni kinachotokea. Wengi wanahitimu with poor konwedge na clinical skills.
Ubaya ukiangalia matokeo yao ya F4 unaweza sema genius hii kumbe hola.
@Adventure_36 Kosa la Daktari ni kifo kosa la mhasibu ni hasara.
Ila all in all kuna siku mbaya kazini Bakari ni captain muungwana sana wana Yanga hawapaswi kumkunjia.

All the best kwenye new chapter.
@tagatojtagato Wanaofanya hujuma ya kuhakikisha Yanga haipati matokeo nao wafanywaje?. Dawa ya mhuni ni kunuwekea uhuni zaidi.
