What Is The Weirdest Thing You've Done When Stuck In An Airport?

[theshadowoftheliving]

Stuck in an airport right now. Flight keeps getting delayed and we are all getting crazier. Just took off my shoes and did some yoga with no regard for the woman snickering at me a few people over ...

What is the weirdest thing you've done in an airport ince you've been stuck long enough to no longer care what you look like?

There was a 20 min commercial on loop. After I'd been there see several hours I was able to recite it and did so.

8 count body builders. Push-ups. Planks.

Reciting a poem out loud. Other passengers didn't appreciate:
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not dead. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

I usually paint my toenails. Plenty of time for base coat, two coats of colour and top coat to set

We've now been delayed long enough that they are giving us free food. This isn't a good sign.

Last week I flew an airline that requires you to pay for any carry-ons. Didn't know this until I arrived with both a personal item and a carry one .... The solution was to take all of my clothes out of the carryon and put my purse in that space, thus condensing it to one bag. What to do with the clothes? Put them all on. Three shirts, two pairs of pants, three underwears, three socks, two jackets, plus a scarf. Free, but I could hardly sit down because of all the fabric.

Sing to myself outloud The Song The Never Ends. Seriously, I did that. Was just the first one i could come up with that would distract me from being in an enclosed space with a ton of people for 10 hrs and not freak out. Obviously i found other ways but that one worked off and on for a while til i annoyed myself lol.

Did anyone join in? How long was it stuck in your head?

Oh hell no! Id get side glances and a few comments and stop for a min and start back up whispering and get louder. I have a habit of annoying people i think.

Days!

Annoying people is such fun.
Another fun one is to talk to yourself and reply. :eek:;)

We can always try something else to tak your mind off it.
It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small world.

My brother and I got stuck on that ride for 20 minutes. It was annoying. We considered walking out through the water. I had that damn song stuck in my head for hours.

If you don't like that one:
99 bottles of beer on the wall. 99 bottles of beer. Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall. (Down to zero)
The farthest I ever got in a group was 50.
