If you have ever flown before, you have experienced the strange alternative universe that airports exist in. Here are 10 reasons why airports are super weird but yet people accept them for what they are. A means to fly places.
1. You have to pack specifically to get through security.
Some things have to go in checked bags and some things have to be in your carry on. If you forget to dump out your cute water bottle, you will have to chug it unless you wanna chunk it.
2. They have weird rules about liquids.
I can't bring my water bottle or my full bottle of shampoo, but people can buy alcohol in the airport once they've gone through security and bring that right onto the plane. I just don't get it.
3. You can buy almost anything there.
Need another carry on bag? Lunch? A pair of Beats? Perfume? Fine jewelry? Chocolate? The airport's got you.
4. They have outlets everywhere.
Why can't other places have this many outlets? Cell phones wouldn't even have a chance to hit low power mode!
5. There are a million people everywhere.
This is a literal representation of trying to get anywhere in an airport. Good luck to families with young children.
6. Everything is extremely overpriced.
An actual visual of me looking at my receipt for how much a burger and fries cost at McDonald's.
7. Trying to find your gate can be difficult.
Trams and escalators and moving sidewalks, OH MY!
8. Employees assume you know what you're doing.
Every airport is different, and things do not look the same everywhere you go. Airports are confusing!
9. People are sleeping on rows of chairs or in the floor.
It's gross. It's strange. You wish you were doing it.
10. Layovers are always either too long or too short.
If only they could plan specifically around your travel plans. Sigh.
