Airports Reason for annoyance:"The world’s most soulless establishments; a nether-world full of miserable people having a miserable experience" by Purple Monkey Dishwasher About Airports:Are airports the most soulless places on the planet? Is there anyone out there who finds them a pleasant experience anymore? There was a time when flying had an air (sorry) of excitement about it, but surely that disappeared years ago. You queue for ages to hand the bags in, you queue for ages to go through passport control, and you queue for ages to go through the metal detector, only to find yourself in a bizarre alternative world full of shops you’d never go near on the high street. World of Whiskies? What on earth is that? Then if you’ve still got time after all the queuing you get to eat a plastic sandwich out of a plastic container on a plastic plate. Then comes the exciting part: you get to sit a plane for an hour before it actually moves, in a seat that’s just big enough for a ten-year-old, while the selfish git in front of you moves his seat as far back as it goes. And here’s the stupidest part, we pay hundreds of pounds for this ‘privilege’! Next year, it’s the Lake District in a Ford Focus for me…. FACT: Airports are more irritating than KLM but less irritating than Davina McCall You may also find KLM irritating.
