As I sit here in Orlando International Airport my mind wanders and I begin to observe people and also allow my brain to ponder things that most people, for good reason, do not. So here are a few of those random thoughts, etc.
The first thing is it seems that any airport in the world that wants more noteriety puts the tag international in front of its name. It would seem that if an immigrant is employed by the airport it qualifies As international.
It also occurs to me there are a few groups of people always doing battle. The people that have kids, have had kids, have never had kids and who are planning to have kids. I'm sure that no matter where you fall you have made instant judgements about the others. I am in the group, obvious to most, of having had kids. I wish I was better at connecting to young children. I don't seem to have a problem with teens on up but for some inexplicable reason I have difficulty with the droolers.....and yes I am referring to the young droolers. Just a self observation.
On the kids topic, when did so many parents stop being parents? I am talking about those parents that think most any large store is a play land for their children and basically no rules apply.
Another related thought is I'm curious where common civility went. People are so quick to make
Judgements of others. How has that happened? Have we as a society lost all patience and understanding of strangers? Assumptions have taken the place of learning. I realize I'm using a broad brush and many I associate with don't fall in this category. This is just a general observation and airports are a great place to make those.
Another thought that will tick off most everyone. I think they should lock the overhead bins in planes and make people check everything. I get so tired of the people who carry a two week supply of clothing, supplies, furniture and who knows what else on the plane and attempt to cram their stuff in an overhead bin. It sure would speed up the boarding and unboarding process. I know many of you think you beat the man at his game of charging you extra and you have but remember this when you have 10 minutes to get off your plane and make it all the way across the Dallas Airport....who wins then?
Ok, time for me to go get worked over by the TSA. Just some thoughts that probably most have considered a waste of time to read. I win this time!
