It's one of the strangest and annoying places to me. All walks of life, wandering aimlessly, flipping through magazines and buying bags of candy in the gift shops, chasing their kids through Burger King, cleaning up the the pile of crackers their 2 year old just crunched into the carpet, sleeping across multiple seats in uncomfortable positions (probably missing their flight). Staring out the window at planes taking off and landing and all other manner of activities unique to the airport environment.

Obviously, the problem is you can't really leave the airport too easily as airports are usually in the middle of nowhere. You also fear that you'll just end up missing your flight, which is why you ended up there in the first place.

I somehow can never get comfortable being in an airport. My most recent experience I had to wait at the airport for 8 hours before my next flight. I too quickly became tired of the songs on my IPod, I read all the magazines I had, I wandered up every aisle in the airport, I ate too much candy and chewed gum until my jaw hurt, I ate overpriced burgers at Burger King (which I never ordinarily eat), I watched people all doing their own thing...

Maybe I just need some tips on what I should do to keep myself busy in airports...
