Inadvertent Revenge

This weekend I had to fly to Pittsburgh with my rugby team, which includes my friend Ted, the great toothbrush felon. So as we made our way through the airport I got a call from Ted asking if I was coming. At the time I was about 200 feet way from the group. I informed him of this fact and then we proceeded to work through security. Although they printed the name 'Tom' on Ted's ticket, he seemed to pass through without incident that is until we made it through security. After I sat down in the food court, I decided that I didn't want any of the food offered and so I grabbed my ticket off the table and headed to find more options closer to the gate. As I left the table I passed Ted, who was standing in line for some food. After I found another shop and got myself a cinnamon roll, Ted came storming by looking quite stressed. He came over to us and said, "Oh man...I lost my ticket and ID, can you guys look in your bags?" So we traded looks of skepticism and looked through our bag and not to our surprise found nothing. We sat there and watched Ted storm back and forth looking for his ticket. We also watched a security officer riding a Segway, which I find quite funny after watching the show 'Arrested Development.' So anyway, we sat there and made fun to Ted for being stupid and losing his ticket while he pawed through the garabage looking for his ticket and ID. At one point I believe I said that it was probably in his pocket. So the time came to board the plane and as I was in line, I reached into my pocket to get my ticket out and pulled out two envelopes, one had my name on it and the other had the name of 'Tom.' So I yelled out, "Hey Ted, I found your ticket. I was in my pocket." This made Ted rather mad. A good laugh was had by all, except for Ted who I'm fairly sure put me on his 'People to Get Back at List.' But in my book it made us even. To complete the madness, our coach (who also publically ridiculed Ted for being stupid and also smelly) lost his ticket on the return trip. It's all karma.
