Hell is…
So, its been said by someone, somewhere, much wiser than me, that “Hell is other people”, they obviously had never transited airports on long haul flights; its made me change “Hell is..”, to Hell is other people when found en mass in airports.
Seems people have an inability to walk in straight lines, follow obvious – REALLY OBVIOUS sign-age, not understand they can pay with nearly any currency at the checkouts in airport stores, and the really big one of mine: FAIL TO listen to simple instructions when it comes to boarding procedures.
Now it could be argued that they have been on the go for too many hours, have been dealing with their raucous and unruly offspring, have not travelled before or are just generally worn out by the never-ending amount of security BS airline travellers seem to have to put up with these days, however if I, the most impatient person in the world can get through it with a modicum of common-sense and without turning into a gibbering mess that does all the above, then why cannot the rest of travelling humanity? Or are we doomed?
People in airports really are Hell. Milton & Bosch just fluffed it.
