People I Hate At The Airport

I literally despise you

People I Hate At The Airport
flydayton

I have been spending a lot of time at airports this year due to various occasions, and as I sit here waiting to board my flight, I feel compelled to tell you about all the different types of people and things that piss me off when going through the airport.

When you arrive at the airport, you are herded into different drop off areas that never seem to go as smoothly as everyone thinks. People stop whenever the fuck they want and I guess it just doesn't occur to them that you can’t just swing open the car door whenever the hell you please. They never fail to get nasty looks from me as I pass by.

The next worst types of people at airports are the ones that check their bags and are over the 50lbs weight limit. So, naturally, they find it necessary to zip open their bags right there, and pull out every article of clothing that they own trying to make the weight limit. I’m sorry, but some of us prepared ahead of time and limited our packing so you can just leave now before I throw all your shit around the airport lobby.

OH but don’t worry! Once at security things get a whole lot worse. After your carry on goes through the stupid beeby, scanny, thing, I ADORE the people who stand right there, in the middle of the line, and put back on all their shit. Like I'm sorry, the last time I checked you don’t own the whole security line, so take your bin with all your shit and move where they have benches for that exact reason. You've already walked 10 minutes without shoes on, you can walk a couple more feet without them.

Maybe I just get annoyed really really easily, but these next type of people truly piss me the fuck off. Once you're finally boarding you have those assholes who literally cannot wait to get on the plane. LIKE CANNOT WAIT. If the flight starts boarding at 11, you better believe that they are already in that line waiting by 10:30. Like dude, calm the fuck down, the planes not going anywhere without you believe me.

And when you're on the plane, people think that they can shove their luggage into the overhead compartment when it CLEARLY doesn't fit. Like I’m not kidding, I cannot explain to you guys how many times I’ve been on planes that people break the over head storage. Like it’s really not hard to check your bags, that are obviously too big to be considered a carry on. Oh and on top of all that, the line that is formed when people relentlessly shove their bags up top, is enormous.

But hey, we can’t forget those people who immediately stand up when we have successfully landed at our destination and crowd the fucking aisle. Like where the fuck do you think you're going. Sit down and chill out, the doors don't even open for another 10 minutes so stop being a dumb ass.

And when I thought that people and their actions couldn't get any worse I forget I have to go to the baggage claim. And while people literally crowd the area that drops the first couple of bags, I stand like a normal fucking person, over to the side, and when I see my back I walk over, without hyperventilating like everyone else. I guess those three extra seconds people save by literally shoving people out of the way really gets them home faster.

I am currently sitting outside by the pool in 85 degree weather and while this rant has come to an end, it also has reminded me about the idiots I'm going to have to encounter on my travels back home. Can’t wait….But if you get one thing from this article, I hope it’s this; just don't be a fucking asshole at the airport.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
