Organized Chaos

Human nature. It's the one thing you can count on time after time.
A prime example of this is in any given airport on the planet. And to be honest with myself, I have to make the conscious effort not to do exactly what this example will demonstrate.

Okay. You're in the airport. You're getting ready to hear that your flight is getting ready to board so you can go to your destination.

'Thank you for flying ABC airways, we are now boarding passengers with small children and those who need a little more time boarding the plane'. HEY!! Hey you buddy. I don't see you with any kids. And you're moving pretty quick to the queue there, so you're obviously not handicapped. Wait, I take that back. You obviously have a hearing problem. Take a seat.

'We are now boarding our first class gold member glad your company is paying for the ticket customers'. HEY! Hey you buddy. Same guy. Sorry sir, you're seated in row 30, you'll have to wait for general boarding. Take a seat.

Now by this time, and if you've flown before, you should know that most airlines have this particular procedure. The next step is usually boarding from the back to the front of the aircraft.

'Sir. Please sir, we are boarding only rows 56 to 45.' Take a seat.

I don't get it. Do they think that they are going to leave without you??? Quick!!! He's not looking!!! Close the door!!! HAAAAAA SUcker! Now you're gonna have to walk.

It takes anywhere from 20-40 minutes to board a plane. Longer if it's not done in an orderly fashion. They won't leave without you. Did you not hear the dozen 'last call' announcements???

Take a seat. Take a deep breath. Take a pill.
Crap. Here he comes, up the aisle. Just my luck, he's sitting next to me.
Maybe I can pretend I'm asleep. Probably not, it's a ten hour flight, but now it will feel like twenty.
