You shouldn't. Absurd statement.

Waiting in line at Dunking Donuts for a coffee and after about 5-10 minutes woman in front of me turns around to ask if this was the line for Greensboro while showing me her ticket.

I'd have said yes.

Part of me wanted to say yes, just so I could see what would happen when she got to the front of the line, but that probably would've made me a tool in some way.

Something about being at an airport makes people want to stand in a line, even if it will do them no good or they don't know what it's for.

TOTD back in 2004 -

I'm in line at McDonalds in CVG Concourse C when the guy behind me strikes up a conversation...

Him: "Will you be the pilot flying me to Kansas City?"

Me: "No sir, I'm flying to Raleigh"

Him: "Raleigh, North Carolina?"

Me: (thinking a moment) "I don't know, sir."

I guess I was the tool for not knowing where the state lines were.

How do you even find the strength to go on when you are her. I work at McDonalds but at least I have a beard.

The hotel cleaner who ignored the "do not disturb" sign IN the card scanner, knocked several times on my wife and I's door, then removed the card and tried to open the door.

Nothing like jumping out of the shower to your wife saying "someone is trying to knock the door down" to start a vacation!

The pax in Atlanta who yells at me b/c I got them there 5 minutes EARLY for their 15 minute connection. I really think people step into an airport and all logic goes out the window.
