I traveled this weekend and while waiting to board my flight I came up with this statistic.

75% are business travelers

20% are tourists

5% are flight attendents/pilots

95.3% are in a big rush and will cut you in line, elbow you in the face, so that they get on the plane 3 minutes before you do.

And just to me, it seems the older you are, the more in a hurry you are. This really old lady cut me in the boarding line and turned around and smiled at me like because she was old I had to let her get on the plane before me. This other old man with white shoes and a confused wrinkly look on his face cut everybody in line by walking around the chairs to the desk and ended up getting on the plane first.

Bunch of ridiculous crap happens at the airport. Sitting at the airport bar on a layover and the lady sitting next to me (prob in her early 40's) chatted with me for a second and when she left, she took my backpack, which was laying on the floor, and put it around the back of my chair. I turned around as she was walking away and she winked at me. WTF

She probably almost tripped over it.

But I agree why the rush to get on a plane that wont be leaving without you if you are on time. I always wait to board a plane last I will just sit and wait til everyone else boards. Its assigned seating so nobody is going to take your seat. The only thing that pisses me off is people that have more than one carry on item. Seriously one bag per person in the overhead bin should be it. If you have more than one bag the other needs to be checked.

This one guy got on the plane visibly intoxicated, with a huge foldover bag(like the size of a bag you'd carry a nice suit in).

The stewardess came up to him as he was trying in vain to stuff his enormous bag in the overhead and asked "Sir, how are you feeling?" and he replied, with enthusiasm "I'm absolutely FANTASTIC!"

They kicked him off and she was like "He'll be invited to take the next one". I responded "You run a no nonsense airplane!" and the people around me laughed. Good times.

so u cant be drunk before u get on but they sure as hell can sell u a bottle of jack for 6 dollars over and over and over again till you're drunk? nice.

Yeah if you are visibly intoxicated they will not let you on.

Meaning you could be blackout but as long as you are acting normally and dont reek of alcohol you could get on the plane just fine.

I hate dealing with people in the airport. I feel like its like going to Carowinds or the DMV. Everyone is f'n miserable, fat, and smells like poo. People bring their nasty smelling food on the plane, sit there and blab on their cell phones, and suck snot.

Also, for some reason it seems that when people fly they don't feel the need to watch or discipline their children.
