Flying brings along so many exciting adventures. Flying across the country in just eight hours, continental drinks and peanuts, and looking out the window to see your city look like an ant is sure to bring amazing memories. But before those exciting adventures can occur, one must endure the dreaded airport. Luggage, security, and overpriced foods are just the beginning.
1. Please don't let this bag weigh 50 pounds.
2. Please let the guy checking in my bags pretend this doesn't weigh over 50 pounds.
3. Shoot, that employee doesn't look very nice or forgiving.
4. Oh, my bag is only 48.9 pounds? I guess I didn't need you anyway.
5. I even had my puppy dog eyes ready.
6. Oh, and my out-of-state college sob story about how I REALLY need everything in this bag.
7. I'll just save it for next time.
8. At least I don't have to lug that around anymore.
9. No, Mr. Security; I am not acting friendly because I am hiding something. I am just nice. Well, kind of nice.
10. Please don't make me take the bobby pins out of my hair again.
11. Really? You really have to inspect my scarf? Those are sequins, not metal.
12. I hope nobody secretly stuffed my carry on bag with a liquid of over three ounces.
13. Why must it be so hot in here?
14. I still have two hours before boarding time??
15. This window seat better be worth it.
16. Oh, it will be, who am I kidding.
17. You have to love Southwest A-list boarding.
18. Please don't let that crying baby be on my plane.
19. Like, really. Please.
20. I need a coffee.
21. Six dollars for a coffee??
22. Coffee is for the weak.
23. I'll just people watch instead.
23. Wow, everyone has a coffee.
24. Okay, I'll buy that overpriced coffee after all.
25. Was that peer pressure? Oh well.
26. Better go to the bathroom before boarding.
27. Oh, but then I have to take my two oversize carry-ons and my pillow pet, and chug that coffee first.
28. I don't really have to go anyway.
29. Hope the people next to me don't mind letting me squeeze by during the flight.
30. But what if there's turbulence?
31. Fine, I'll just go now. I can barely walk safely on stable ground.
32. Of course the crying baby is on my flight.
33. Oh, and can't forget about the preteen over there listening to a movie with no headphones.
34. The airport has 5,000 seats and only two have charging stations connected to them.
35. Yes, airport; because only two of us need to charge our electronics.
36. Yay...boarding time!
37. Boo...a snail could move faster than the people in front of me.
38. Window seat, here I come!
39. That was fun.
40. Glad I get to do it all again at my three hour layover which is completely out of the way.
