25 Tweets That Accurately Recall The Pet Peeves of Waiting at the Airport | “There Is Rude. Then There Is Airport Rude”
Traveling by air is a rather smooth and convenient way to get about but sometimes you are left scratching your head when you're stuck at the airport with time to kill. Reaching hours before boarding time, going through security and endlessly waiting while we observe the planet from up in the air till we reach our destination— seems pretty simple, right? Turns out these simple steps are not only the staircase to the skies but also the gateway to hell. Most of us have probably complained about airports at some time as they add to the bane of traveling. Switch on the rant mode, for here we have a box full of complaints from travelers who are tired, annoyed and not in a laughing mood. In case you're reading this while getting bored at the airport, you have our sympathies. If you are already on the flight, put on your seat belts so you don't fall out while laughing.

Woman in front of me at airport security has a bottle of frozen water. They want to take it. She says it's not a liquid.

3. Gates to hell
every time I go to the airport, my gate is the longest walk possible. If I’m gate 48, the gates start at 1. If I’m gate 1, the gates start at 48 and go backwards. What are these other gates in between even? Are these actors

8. Did the math a little too well
I enter Hudson News. I go into a fugue state. I leave with one soda, two magazines, and some crackers I’ve never heard of. I have spent $78. This seems accurate and correct.
