Airports

This is for Afunt as she had to witness my airport experiences this past weekend. I don't do well in airports - as she can attest.

10 things that MOST get on my nerves about airports:

1. Aggressively rude airport employees and being made to feel that flying is a privilege instead of something I pay LOTS OF MONEY to do.

2. Parents that feed their kids chocolate and caffeine before boarding a plane.

3. Parents that try to stuff their kid into a (kid carrier) backpack the size of –well…. a backpack - while the kid is screaming.

4. People that think the newsstand is same the line in the grocery store that is 15 items and over.

5. #1 handling my laptop like it’s a rag doll because I forgot to take it out of the case and also yelling at me loudly for not doing so.

6. #1 shouting not to cross an imaginary line on the floor close to the gate. My bad…

7. Waiting for a flight in a hallway the consistency of a house trailer with no restrooms.

8. Being told to “Go here and do that” by #1 when really it’s “Go there and do this other thing” – which, I had to figure out on my own.

9. People that hurl themselves down the hallways with their rollie-wheelie bags and/or strollers that I have to dodge them like a pinball.

10. Middle aged men turning to me in the airport bar when all I’m trying to do is suck down a 20 oz. as fast as I can before my flight and say “How you doin’?”
