Airport Etiquette

I just recently got back from vacation, which resulted in a lot of travelling. I love to travel, but I cannot stand airports and the plane ride. First off, luggage check-in. If you know the weight limit is 50, why pack your bag to it's maximum capacity? Especially if you're going somewhere when you know that you are going to be buying souvenirs for yourself and friends. The family in front of us had a luggage that was 26 pounds over-weight, completely ridiculous. Then comes security. Not only is it an extremely long and exhausting process, it can also be very annoying. Everyone has a habit of watching people, especially when you're stuck with them for an hour waiting to be harassed by the high and mighty security. Some of these individuals can be seriously annoying. Sometimes they're not even talking, it's just the way they look or dress or even how they hold themselves. It definitely makes the process much more painful. Then comes the actual security check where the stupid people really shine. It says to take off your shoes, so DO it. It says to put all metal or electronic devices into the bucket, so take your phone out of your pocket and realize that loose change, earrings and belt buckles actually set off the alarm. As for the women, do NOT bring face cream or lip gloss or any toiletries because they're just going to take it away, no matter how expensive it was. Then comes the dreaded plane ride. Where you have to endure through the pushy flight attendants, the crying babies, the snorers and many many more. One of my personal favorites are the people who don't realize their surroundings and push back their chair as far back as possible so the people behind them have no room to move. I unfortunately for plane rides, have very long legs, and would greatly appreciate those assholes to maybe push back slowly so that you don't blow out my knee or spill my drink all over me. Or of course don't push back at all. Then comes the end of the ride, the massive rush to get off the plane. Some people act as if there is a bomb aboard the plane and so they must get off as soon as possible. Unless you actually have somewhere to be, there really is no rush. There will still be a line up waiting for you at customs anyways. My point being, when in an airport or on the airplane, just follow the rules, it's as simple as that.
