Airport Observations

I love people watching and fortunately, I had many hours in the Syracuse Airport this week to get some done...here are some of the observations I made...

1. Just because they make cloths in certain sizes doesn't mean they should.
2. There is a remarkably large number of people who either don't own a mirror, didn't look in the mirror before they left, or just don't care.
3. Whenever someone near me talks in another language, I immediately get self conscious and think they are talking about me.
4. Guys should not carry laptop cases that look like purses...
5. No one can gracefully sleep in the blue chairs with armrests no matter how they slouch, shift, stack, or squirm.
6. Kids with cell phones no longer seem weird. Neither does the 80+ year old guy playing on his Droid.
7. They need a "family zone" for people with kids. I know you think your 3 year old who is picking her nose and running around is cute, but I have had a long day and really don't.
8. Weather is the number one conversation topic.
9. I am incredibly intrigued by names on shirts, jackets, laptop cases. No sir, I am not staring at your chest, I am checking out your logo.
10. Women who travel in stilettos have evidently never had an 8 hour delay or a 10 minute layover where they had to run from gate B88 to B35.
11. The people at the airline counters don't think it is amusing when you are on your phone trying to look up a flight while they are on their computer trying to rebook you...I should really be more sympathetic about this one, because it happens to me all the time and is annoying...but if they did what I wanted, then it wouldn't happen.....
12. Airport pizza, however good it smells, is NEVER a good choice.
13. Cell phones should be on silent when in a room full of strangers, especially when you're a biker and have a ringtone of "You Light Up My Life".
14. People who get mad at the TSA people because they question what they are bringing on the plane should be politely escorted out of the building and given keys to a Chevy Cavalier. The rules are readily available for what you can and cannot bring on the plane. Deal with it. (Note for future reference, they questioned why I had a jumprope, but it is TSA approved and safely in the terminal with me ;-) )
15. Getting my shoes shined looks so cool. But apparently they can't do much for my Keen sandals...
16. Everyone is going somewhere and coming from somewhere and people like to relate. This really amuses me because we all do it. Person A asks Person B where they are going. Inevitably, Person A either knows someone from there, has been there, or wants to go there.
17. Walking around while talking on your cell phone makes you look important.
18. The loudspeaker is either blasting too loud to understand it, or too quiet to hear what they are saying. There is no happy medium.
19. The more tired you get, the funnier the people look.
20. Where do dogs who fly go potty?

Add your observations, funny stories, and airport experiences. As much of a pain in the bum traveling is, it can be quite humorous at the same time.
