Airport Observations
I am spending the day flying. I get bored. So whenever I'm not in the air, I have decided to share observations with you all on the going ons of various Airports and their people. Though I might drop it at any point because forget, sleep, or bore.
That means this is going to be a weirdly organized thread with me replying to myself. I make no promises on the entertainment of these observations. They arise purely from boredom.
Edit: The journey is now complete. I recommend you view this thread in order of 'recent' and go to the first post, rather than view in order of 'favorites.'

Make sure the bomb is concealed.

Last time I was in an airport I needed to pass time so I connected to the airport's crappy wifi so I could read SCP's
-
I want to read this, but they're all out of order. Not up to First World standards.

Don't go having too much fun.

1 ReplyMiss watching planes take off from the local airport. Always neat seeing planes upclose

Intriguing

1 ReplyLast time I was at an airport I would roll loose change across the ground to see who would chase after it. It's very entertaining to see somebody that isn't a child chase after a quarter.

1 ReplyHow was your trip, Burrito? I'm in Beijing now. Now I remember why I hate long flights. [spoiler]I may or may not have thrown up everything in my stomach 10 minutes ago.[/spoiler]

Hour 9 beginning: I called up my mother out of boredom. Good talk. Still 15 minutes until we start boarding though. There's this guy to my right who has the most rectangular head in human history. He would probably win an award for it if he entered. His mouth is constantly slightly open to accentuate the square-ish nature of the chin and head. OH GOD. As I typed this he moved. I looked back at him after typing and he is now doing reverse push-ups. Meaning he is sitting with his hands supporting all his weight going up and down. In an airport. In basically a turtleneck. Green. The [i]boring[/i] green. Now he is using the windows to do stretches with his leg going almost over his head. This dude is like 50. The -blam!- is he doing?!?

The worst thing about flying is everyone who decided to put their carryon in the compartments above them all get up and grab their shit instead of allowing people who don't have anything in the compartment above to quickly exit the aircraft.

Shout something about bombs.

2 RepliesEdited by burritosenior: 3/25/2016 6:19:26 PMHour 9 #3: The airport keeps telling various names to go places. It's super annoying. But they just called this Asian name and the lady in front of me stands up, puts her ear up (she is surely in her late 20s or early 30s), and sprints to the gate they told her to go to without her bags. The gate is like a three minute walk away. So pretty far in an airport. Her bags are behind a pillar. I cannot watch them. Hope is lost. But I wish her well.

Hour 14 Beginning and End: The trip has ended. I have been delivered to my residence. Thanks to all that followed my journey. I'm running on fumes. But I'm finally home. Hope you all got some enjoyment out of the process!
-
Hour 11 #2: Never exited a plane to the ground instead of a terminal/walkway. Felt like a right mug when everyone waited and just got their checked in carryons (carry on luggage good for normal planes but too small for our mini plane) and I walked away without my real checked in luggage. Bleh.
-
Hour 11 beginning: I have landed. It is done.
-
Hour 9 #5: We were just told the plane is out of balance unless 4 people move from the front to the back. Thats... terrifying. We now takeoff. Godspeed Bnet.
-
Hour 9 #4: We are beginning to board. The checkin lady is old and moves slow. We are delayed over her. RIP.

1 ReplyHour 9 #2: a mother talks to her kid behind me. She says she bought the kid a book. But not just any book. It's a book the kid will read to HER. So they can read together. Curious George, work on his letters, or two other books. That's good parenting.

I made friends with 2 French girls last time I was at the Miami International Airport. Only memorable experience I've ever had at any airport actually.
-
Hour 8 #5:I have only my phone and my imagination to keep me company since I finished my book before I anticipated it ending. So I check my email. Two minutes before I checked, a package I ordered set to Sunday delivery got marked to 'delivered by 8:00 PM today.' Such timing. I'll chalk that up as a victory.

1 ReplyHour 3 #4: This airport has interesting stuff. There is an elevator that brings employees up. And I swear a huge guy came out of one just now and he seems like he would be a Boss in 'The Division.' Hoodoe. Slacked pants. Large (not fat). A visibility vest. A ballcap. Oh man and I'm not even level 30 yet.
-
Hour 8 #3: I ate my hamburger. It was good. But I can't decide if that was a quality of the hamburger or the hunger. The bacon was definitely super chewy. I scored the perfect seat- one with an outlet again. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! This one also has a table! Score!!! I also finished my book the second we taxied to the gate so I am bookless. I have an hour wait, then an hour flight left.

8 RepliesHey, what airport you at? I'm at DIA right now, and I'm sitting in a security line longer than the Vietnam War. [spoiler]help[/spoiler]
