There are certain places where you can see the full range of the human experience, warts and all: the subway, the DMV, and, of course, the airport. We have all had memorable experiences waiting in the security line, sitting at the gate, or being stuck on the tarmac for hours on end.

Because that's the ugly beauty of these environments: you're stuck shoulder-to-shoulder with total strangers. Personally speaking, it has been a full week since my last trip and I still can't get over the entitled woman who took off her shoes and socks and then subsequently placed her feet on someone else's armrest. Literally, where do these types of people come from??
