Tweets That Prove The Airport Is A Lawless Place
If you've ever been to an airport, you know that it's a very special place. All the things you think you know about society go right out the window, and it's basically every person for themselves.
I understand how dramatic that sounds, but there are some days, some flights, that make you question everything you know.
Do You Think She Got To Take It?
![liquid Tweet: Woman in front of me at airport security has a bottle of frozen water. They want to take it. She says it's not a liquid.](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-21009.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I mean, she does have a point... It is, at that time, a solid. However, TSA is not to be messed with. Honestly, some days I really think they're above the law.
Being Paralyzed By Choice Is A Thing
![silence Tweet: packs laptop, two books, one magazine, one coloring book, and iphone for the plane. sits in silence the entire flight.](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-2-80865.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I always pack so many things in my carry-on to do while I'm on the plane and end up either too motion sick to do any of them, or sucked into those in-flight movies.
Don't Come At Me
![suitcase Tweet: I hate it when I actually do a really good job of packing light and some fellow traveler says,](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-3-81509.jpg?width=800&height=533)
If you see me walking around the airport with an appropriately sized carry-on, I don't need to be heckled, or even talked to by anyone. I've just been through some things.
This Is A Smart Idea
![wish Tweet: I wish airports would split security lines up between people who've literally never been to an airport before and every else](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-4-16544.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Of course, even if this was the case, you know there would still be the chance that the lines would move slowly and it would eventually turn into chaos, as it does.
New Rules Apply
![public Tweet: Every thing you've ever seen a parent do in public that you've disagreed with I've done in this airport today](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-5-59683.jpg?width=800&height=533)
You might as well leave all the things you think are true about you behind when you walk into an airport, because, honestly, you're going to be shocked by what you are capable of.
It's Basically Anxiety With A Lot Of Hallways
![chill Tweet: For me, being](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-6-29755.jpg?width=800&height=533)
No matter how prepared you are, or how early you are, there is always that nagging voice in the back of your mind telling you that you're going to miss your flight.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
![seated Tweet: Please remain seated until we've reached the gate, then feel free to stand hunched over weirdly sideways for 15 minutes while we do whatever](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-7-52987.jpg?width=800&height=533)
I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation that has to do with my safety and whatnot, but by the time the plane has landed, I am READY to get off.
It's There, So Why Not?
![food Tweet: Imagine being on a plane and NOT eating every item presented to you as if you will never again have ready access to food in your life](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-8-69354.jpg?width=800&height=533)
When you're on a plane or in an airport and they offer you snacks and alcohol, who are you to refuse? This is what you're meant to be doing. It's how they keep everyone from losing their minds.
Not All Heroes Wear Capes
![sleeping Tweet: The lady that sat beside me on this flight ate my lunch. Her reason](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-9-63150.jpg?width=800&height=533)
The people you meet on a flight are absolutely bananas. And why is it that you always seem to end up sitting next to the craziest person on the plane?
Fasten Those Seatbelts
![turbulence a tweet about turbulence being scary](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-10-95925.jpg?width=800&height=533)
The scariest thing about flying is literally that once you're in the air, there isn't really anything anyone can do until you land, and even then. Like, what are you going to about turbulence, drive around it?
It's All A Sham
![evidence Tweet: I have no evidence that it's possible to arrive at an airport anywhere other than the farthest gate out. I see people at other gates but at this point just assume they're paid actors.](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-11-95216.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Paying people to stand around at gates that aren't actually used is exactly the kind of thing that I would expect an airport to do, just to make it that much more aggravating.
We All Know The Type
![bullies Tweet: Outlet bullies: People in airports who casually sit by outlets without using them, blocking you from plugging in and charging up.](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-12-46435.jpg?width=800&height=533)
The least you could do is plug something in so that it at least looks like you're using it. You have so much power when you sit next to the outlets like that. Don't waste it.
Honestly, Yeah
![boo Tweet: It should be okay to boo people at the airport](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-13-86200.jpg?width=800&height=533)
It isn't all the airport's fault. Most of what is so wrong about the airport is due to the people in it—because you're going to experience all kinds of personalities and then some.
An Excellent Question
![cute Tweet: People who wear cut outfits to the airport, what are you doing?](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-14-18447.jpg?width=800&height=533)
If you're not wearing your comfiest sweatpants and an old T-shirt while you're on a plane, then are you even traveling? People who wear jeans for an eight-hour flight, just...why?
Flight Times Are The Worst
![unrealistic Tweet: the most unrealistic thing about love actually is that someone will pick you up from the airport](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-15-95720.jpg?width=800&height=533)
The thing about asking someone to drive you or pick you up from the airport is that you know you're asking them to throw off their sleep cycle for the next few days.
But They're So Petable!
![mo Tweet: can't stop thinking about the time I watched a woman try to put her dog through the airport security scanner and the tsa agent picked it up and was like](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-16-41041.jpg?width=800&height=533)
There is a silver lining to the airport, other than being able to travel, and that is the adorable dogs. Some people are traveling with pets, and some of the dogs work at the airport. Just think about those dogs doing their important jobs, and feel peace wash over you.
There Are No Rules
![airport Tweet: The airport is a lawless place. 7am? Drink a beer. Tired? Sleep on the floor. Hungry? Chips now cost $17.](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-1-60638.jpg?width=800&height=533)
The airport is the best place to go if you feel like you need to have a drink with your actual breakfast. Ask them to throw some brandy in that coffee—they'll do it.
The Worst Kind Of Person
![walker Tweet: Hi, I am the recreational airport walker! I don't have anywhere in particular to be. I just like to come here to the airport and stroll around at a leisurely pace while remaining blissfully unaware of my surroundings. I like to stretch my arms all the escalator and](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-17-74016.jpg?b=0&c=0&width=800&height=533&top=0&left=0&zoom=1)
Don't be that person in the airport who walks so slowly and has their hands all over everything making it impossible for other people to move around you. Just...try and be aware of the world around you.
Because Why Not?
![chapstick Tweet: to the woman who took a bite out of her chapstick in the airport security line: why did you do that?](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-18-40938.jpg?width=800&height=533)
Maybe the woman took a bite out of her chapstick because she was hungry and didn't want to pay $1,600 for a bag of chips and a bottle of water.
Forget Leg Room
![whisper Tweet: Whenever someone on a plane reclines their seat into you, pull them back even further and whisper in their ear,](https://www.exploredplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/800-x-533-19-64137.jpg?width=800&height=533)
For some reason, whoever made planes thinks that humans don't have legs, or if they do, they're very short. However, the seats lean back quite a bit, so that is good, I guess.
