I regret I never got to know you really

From the form:

What fruit would you like to be and why?

Oranges are closer to heaven than humans

From Ryanair chatbot (which does not understand what it means to wish to cancel a flight because of someone’s death):

It cannot fit into its language 

It falls out of the little window

It does not matter how many times you shout into the speaker, ‘I want to talk to a real human person!’ 

Immediate family members include your husband/wife, legal civil partner (sic!), parents, and children. Siblings and grandparents will not be covered.

Submit a death certificate yesterday, the day before your departure, the day before

Submit before it flies away 

Oh, Ryanair, with little golden wings on your feet, be the Hermes I can afford.

What fruit would you like to be, and why are you not fruity?
