3 posts in one day, i know, this one's good

So last week we went to Boston, flying standby thanks to David's mom. (Thanks!) We spent a lot of time in a couple airports on the way home. Let me tell you, you see and hear interesting things when you're in an airport all day.

1. Make-out-while-waiting-in-line-to-get-a-ticket couple. Just wrong. No one wants to see you going at it, tongue and all, while they're waiting in line behind you. Lay of it in the airport! Seriously!!!

2. Ridiculous/stupid questions and people's reactions. Loved watching/listening to people ask the airline counter staff where a gate or concourse is when it's on a sign if they would just look up. it's so funny how bugged people get when they're told to go back the way they came because they didn't look for the sign that tells them where they should have turned. Love it.

When we were picking up our tickets for the last leg of our journey some guy asked some such question. the airline guy was awesome! after he told the guy where the gate was he was like "people don't read anymore. they'll come up to me and ask me if I'm united (we were flying united and the counter and his uniform clearly mark him as a united worker) he says no, he's American airlines." Awesome!

3. Guys, or girls but this time it was a guy, trying to pick up girls at the airport. So ridiculously hilarious.

While we were waiting for one of our flights this guy in his early twenties is talking to some girl, obviously trying to pick up on her. He even managed to get a phone number, very likely a fake number but a number all the same. The whole time the girl was totally acting like "OK let me get on the flight and get away from this weirdo." He just kept on talking trying to fish for compliments and impress her.

Here are a few gems from what we overheard:

"I have this girlfriend, well she's not my girlfriend she's just a girl who's my friend, and she says she's interested in me but i totally don't think she is."

"I'm on the deans list at my community college. I don't know how that happened. I don't even buy books for class. I just go to class and i guess i did good enough." haha as if a community college's deans list is much to brag about.

When he got the girls "phone number": "I'm a nice guy. I just like to be friendly. I like to talk to people etc." blah blah blah.

Lucky for the girl she got on a flight and he didn't get on until the next flight.

I love people watching and the airport is one of the best places to do it. Good times.
