Airport security and baggage reclaim gipes

Stupid things people do at the airport

Stupid people at the airport

You've seen them all I'm sure, the clutz with the trolley, chaos at airport security. Have you ever stood in the queue waiting at security or baggage reclaim and wondered why the idiot in front doesn't arrive more organised?



I’ve got to get this one off my chest now because having just come back from a busy Airport, Luton in this case, I can see why some people might dread flying.

22-9-2007Unbelievable. The stupidest things that are done at airports are by those who run them. Today I had to pick someone up at Heathrow Terminal 4. Never again.

26-5-2007Who wants to fly these days. Being sealed in a tube with a load of common council house plebs, with their bad clothes and free-flight-with-every-six-tokens-cut-out-from-The-Sun and horrid kids, to fly to a destination which is just a version of their own council estates, only in the sunshine.Club Classless

08-3-2006But you forgot to mention the most Stupidest Thing they all do. Get up from the seat, open the overhead bin to pick up their stuff and rush for the exit even as the aircraft is reversing thrust down the Runway after just touching down. Such people should be denied Air Travel permanently.Wake Turbulence
