With a lot of traveling to do, I find myself in the airport very often. If you're at all like me and frequent the airport as well, you've probably noticed a constant in the type of people that make themselves present. What is even more amazing about this, is that every person in the airport is typically just an everyday person you see in your neighborhood, the city, and driving next you, but the oddities in each individual shines in this particular environment. It's honestly amazing to just sit in a terminal and observe the demographic walking beside you. Well, I decided to comprise a list of the best entertainment you'll find if you take the time to do some airport "people watching." So with little ado, here are (in my opinion) the Top Ten Types of People Who Fly:10. Running Late
What's scary is that this could easily be you. But they're always there, flocking the airport no less than the highways: "The hurried people." If you're lucky you'll avoid them, but if you're not so fortunate - chances are they'll hit you before you know it. The "running late" passengers are typically seen literally running from checkpoint to checkpoint, only slowing down for security - but still moving at an unhealthy pace. You may also occasionally spot them in the food court, but they won't be there for long, because once you spot them, they'll be off like a gazelle, and most likely scarfing down their food as they leave.
9. Businessmen
Ah, the everyday businessman. Typically seen in suit and tie, they often carry a cell phone and briefcase. Once in awhile, they'll sport an ear plug and microphone instead of talking on a literal phone, which will most likely make them resemble a schizophrenic person. To the normal folk, the businessman appears rude, but he's really just too busy to be polite. Being polite would cut about .17% of his productivity, and you wouldn't want to be the one to do that, would you?
