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?

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
