45. ASSes - not what you think...

I spend a lot of time in airports and as it's usually business travel, I'm often in a hurry - that's when I run into:

Amblers - People with all the time in the world walking painfully slow.


Stoppers - They stop(!!) immediately when they either enter the terminal, exit an elevator, get to the top of an escalator or the end of a moving sidewalk (yes I've mentioned this before)

Sidwinders - Can't get past them because they walk diagonally and change directions just when you think you've got them beat.

Not giving this a number because it's not a word, but I am absolutely fed up with overused punctuation. Multiple question marks for simple questions, exclamation marks after simple statements where no extra force is warranted etc. Take a look at this recent TA post:

"So, If I am going August 5th..am I too late for any sales?????? and what areas in particular to go to???? I haven't been to Paris in 18 years!"

Ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No????????????
