Airport Observations #3
Good day fellow Offtopites! After my previous thread linked below, people seemed receptive enough. So here I am with another airport observations thread for another long day of journeying. As before, I suggest viewing this thread as 'by recent post' for continuity's sake.
We will start with a backlog since I am already at the second of the four airports I will be in today. Let it begin! And the end shall be my destination... or me being bored, hah.

1 ответHour 1 Backlog 3: On the plane I sat behind a couple with their baby. I groan internally. It cried for a minute then quieted down. And I must say, it was probably the most well behaved baby on a plane I've ever seen. Or heard, rather. At the end, the guy next to me made some faces at the baby. The baby had the most arrogant smirk I'd ever seen. It was almost an expression saying 'yeah damn straight you will make funny faces for me. I own you.' Good baby. Good baby.

Hour 7 #1: Next destination reached. I made a bold move on the plane... and talked to a girl. We spent the next three hours talking. We are now Facebook friends. I'd call that a successful plane ride.
-
Hour 3 #6: The man whom I assume is the copilot is behind me. He has three bars on his shoulder boards so copilot is my assumption. He reminds me of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. But not in the good way. Just the parts of the song that talk about eating five dozen eggs and being roughly the size of a barn. I also feel mean for thinking that. I regret it. But... an observation is an observation. There can be no turning back now.

Hour 3 #5: An Asian girl sat next to me. But then she got on Skype and started talking with someone in her language. I can't place the language either. It sounds more Indian than anything, but I honestly can't tell. Normally you can tell what a language is when you hear it. Hmm. At any rate, boarding shall now begin. This is the longest leg of the day too. Trump Jr has started watching a video on his laptop. He has ear buds but I still hear it all. He surely must be bursting his eardrums. That or his father bought him super ears. And if so, they're probably made of gold. And have his name on them. His ears aren't huge though. I feel like if Trump made golden robo ears they would be 'YUUUUUUUUGE AND TREMENDOUS AND WAY BIGGER AND BETTER THAN YOUR EARS.' Alas.

Hour 3 #4: My terminal is right next to one leaving games for Denver, Colorado. As fate would have it, I see that Academy kid in the boarding waiting line. Guess he is indeed going back to the Academy. Maybe they have to be in uniform when returning ti the campus or something. He is in group 5 now. Not going to use the priority boarding this time buddy? Why not? Or perhaps group 5 is the super special boarding. Hmm. We shall see. We shall see. As I finished typing that they called group 3 to board. So yeah I guess he is just in a scrub group. I wonder why. Maybe he felt cool enough to use it in a small airport like the last one but not enough for a real airport like this. Or maybe there was an actual veteran in the priority boarding so he couldn't cut it. I'm very curious as to this guy's reasoning. But alas, the world may never know. Also also... the USO made an announcement welcoming people there. I could get in. The USO rocks. But personally I always feel guilty about that sort of thing so I rarely use it. Only time I did use it was when I was actually in uniform.

Изменено (burritosenior): 11/27/2016 4:25:27 PMHour 3 #3: The pretty girl left. I notice a guy to my left wearing a Donald Trump 2016 shirt with Trump's face on it. He almost looks like Trump, too. Oh God. As I typed he came and sat at the charging area. Being close I can say with certainly that he is definitely Donald Trump Jr, long lost son of Donald Trump. The media is going to have a feeding frenzy with this kid.
-
Hour 3 #2: An older dude and his son came up to the area. The father leaves to go get drinks. The son was told very sternly to protect the luggage at all costs. The kid said yes. The father, unsatisfied, has the son tell him what he will do if someone tries to steal the luggage. The son responded with, I believe, 'stop them.' The father walked off. Seemed very authoritative.
-
Hour 3 #1: Airport two. At a phone charging terminal. Turns out when I used my maps in my car, the charger wasn't in all the way so I am at 70% . Luckily by making this thread I'm already back to 84%. My charger is excellent. Pretty girl across from me. Definitely has no interest in anything but her computer or phone here but I must say the word 'damn' in a stretched out and exaggerated manner.
-
Hour 1 Backlog 2: Sat down in the terminal. Across a kid from the Air Force Academy. I know because he was in his service dress with the Academy's funky looking ranks that I'm still not sure actually mean anything other than the designer had trouble with straight lines. I wonder if he was going back to Colorado. At any rate, he used the 'military members in uniform' early boarding option. But the question remains... why would he wear a uniform- that one- on a plane? Maybe there's a regulation for those kids or something. But it seems unnecessary to me. Or at least uncomfortable. As I rise to leave and board, I see a phone left in a charger. Someone forgot it. I Alert the desk before I board. I wish that phone well.

Hour 1 Backlog 1: Got to the airport. Waiting to check in my luggage I was behind one lady. For some ridiculous reason, she left her bags in the taxi but decided it was fine to start checking them in and getting her boarding pass. With it being a tiny airport, there was only one checkin terminal. Lucky me. I waited ten minutes because the checkin counter could not process another person until this one was done, apparently.
