When you sit waiting at the gate in an airport you can pretty much be assured that:
- there will be some guy who plugs in his computer or DVD player and lays down on the floor to watch it as if he were in his living room...
- a child will cry and whine and whine and cry for a reason that no one - not even the mother - can discern...
- some guy will be wearing shorts and flip-flops even though there is snow on the ground...
- someone will get angry at the gate attendant...
- something will get spilled...
- when you really want to hear what's being said on CNN, there will be a loud announcement on the PA about some flight departure in another part of the airport...
- someone will talk on their cell phone for 45 minutes in a loud voice...
- at least one woman will be wearing gold shoes...
- someone will be reading a Christian book...
- a deafening alarm will go off without any explanation...
- people will jump up and run to board even though the gate attendant said please remain seated...
- someone will have a new phone or gadget and you will really want one...
- at least one person will look like he/she just got out of bed and came directly to the airport...
- a guy in a tie will discuss business loudly over his cell phone...
- you will stand in front of the counter and at least three gate attendants will ignore you while telling a funny story or discussing the work schedule...
- at least one couple will be speaking excitedly to each other in a language you don't understand...
That was TOO true!

ReplyDeleteAlso,
~there will be a mother of several children who seems to have an endless supply of snacks.
~There will be a couple of people talking very loudly to one another about their vacation as if they want everyone to be jealous.
~There will be an annoying person, usually a man, who is the expert on all things travel and flight who tries to instruct anyone who will listen.
Hilarious and oh-so-true!! :)
