13 Types of People You See at an Airport
huffpost

When you happen to travel a lot, and by a lot I mean every weekend, you start to notice people in the airport. So I have compiled a list of people I have noticed in airports all across the United States.

1. The family.

When the whole family goes on vacation. The kids with the rolling back packs and stuffed animals. Screaming kids on the plane. You know the deal

2. The runners.

Left for the airport too late. Got stuck in security. The excuse list is never ending. Just get on the damn plane.

3.) The missed flight people.

Screaming at the gate attendant for closing the door when they’re supposed to. Crying when the gate attendant refuses to open it for their sorry ass.

4. The people who don’t speak a lick of English.

They usually talk on the phone and stare at you when they’re not doing anything.

5. The “I thought it was 50 lbs!” bag person.

Yells at the desk agent because the rule is 40lbs and the agent can totally fix that. They proceed to take out their clothes and start stuffing their carry-ons right at the counter so they don’t have to pay the $100 fee.

6. The live-ins.

I call these people live-ins because they’re the ones who are passed out on the floor or uncomfortable chairs. Either they missed their flights or are going to miss their flights.

7. The lost soul.

This person literally has no clue what they’re doing. They don’t understand security or gates, boarding times or seating.

8. The complainers.

They complain about everything. The airline fees. The security line. The boarding process. The amount of money they have to spend on food and drink. The bathroom lines. EVERYTHING IS A PROBLEM FOR THEM.

9. The frequent flyers.

(I fall in this category) The people who know what’s going on. They could probably recite the security briefing in the beginning of the flight. They take their shoes off before they’re even asked.

10. Business people.

Men and women, dressed nice, with a briefcase. Also frequent flyers.

11. The nervous nellies.

Terrified of flying. Grips the seat in front of them or the handles. Constantly asking the flight attendant questions.

12. The bathroom dwellers.

The people who get up 10,000 times to use the bathroom on the flight, now matter how short or long the flight may be. (I can also fall in the category)

13. The Couples who haven't seen each other since last week.

Is there someone I missed?

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

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.
