The Pessimist's Airport ABCs...with Input from the One Incurable Optimist

F -- is for finished boarding and you have missed your flight.
G -- is for gate. (I always seem to find the wrong ones -- how about you?)
H -- is for "honestly, we have no idea when you'll get home".
I -- is for injury after lugging all your luggage to the bathroom with you and doing yoga trying to find space to sit on the toilet.
J -- is for jealous, which is what everyone is of the people getting off the plane on time.
K -- is for...kind, I guess. All this stress does give people the opportunity to be especially kind to each other. (I thought this when I saw a young man let two older people cut in front of him in line...and then I realized he was just waiting for the rest of his party and trying to keep his spot at the front of the line!)
