16 People You See In An Airport

Just to name a few.

16 People You See In An Airport
PIxabay

It’s prime time for travel, much of which involves flying. As a family of frequent fliers, this year wasn’t my first time drudging through an airport to catch a flight out of town.

Millions, if not billions, travel via airports every year, and yet each time I have visited the airport I experience déjà vu in the people I encounter. This trip, I’ve narrowed it down to 16 archetypes of airport travelers you would likely see in an airport.

1. The mom with her kids on leashes

Have fun at Disney World!

2. Preteens lying on the ground by the gate

We understand you need to charge your phone, but please don’t fall asleep on my leg. I don’t enjoy cuddling with strangers and there was a seat 10 feet away.

3. The cute guy your mom nudges you about

It’s particularly tragic because you know you’ll be on opposite sides of the country in three hours.

4. The Sports Team

So you can bring a field hockey stick onto a plane but no toothpaste?

5. That one girl from a j-crew magazine

The fedora, striped skinny jeans, strappy heels, and button down shirt look isn’t as adorable in the Caribbean’s humidity.

6. That one girl dressed super bohemian

She looks cute and her J.C Hammer pants with elephants are basically sweatpants. But instead of traveling to Nepal, she’s on her way to Tulsa.

7.The multi-generation family

Who plans on ditching who first?

8. The school trip

Teachers deserve so much more than they are given.

9. The college student alone with headphones in

How do they board without hearing or looking up from their Instagrams? Sorcery.

10. The bedazzled t-shirts so you know what the trip is for

Gotta keep the birthday-gal entourage together. Bedazzled “bride” tank tops have probably prevented more affairs than counseling ever has.

11. Clueless people on their phones walking into crowds of people

Don’t blame me when my rolling suitcase hits your foot and flips over.

12. The Cat in the Bag

How that duo gets through security intrigues me.

13. The fighting kids

Please don’t sit in front of me, please don’t sit in front of me, please don’t sit in front of me…

14. The twenty-something and her mom

This is always super sweet to see.

15. The lone middle aged man in cargo pants

He’s not quite dressed for a business trip, but his bag is too small for a business trip. You know what’s happening…

16. The dad who rushed his three teenage girls out the house at 6 a.m. and now have two hours of downtime in the airport

And at 6 a.m., he spent an extra 15 minutes muttering about how the luggage was packed wrong and now they were going to miss the flight because of the security line and traffic.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
