Never better when better won't do. Bet on that.

Wow. I write a lot about stupid travel things but today needs its own blog. Probably its own wikipedia entry cataloging idiocy and the insanity of entitled people in groups

Today, in one short trip through LAX, features:
A guy trying to bring an unopened case of Coors through security.
Since when does 12, 12oz cans total more than 1 quart??

The TSA being called about a woman who was SCREAMING at her 2 year old. Security swooped in like she was yelling "just put the bomb in your stroller and act casual!!"

A guy from Mexico yelling at a guy from japan about not cutting in line. When the language barrier proved too much he apparently took that to mean he had been disproven - and proceeded to take down the tenser barrier and cut in front of 20 people.

A cute little Brazillian girl in a tiny tank top and no bra that is clearly a member of some elite club, because she got the BEST customer service I've ever seen. She couldn't go 5 feet without people asking if she needed help or knew where she was going.

That was nice of all those guys.

A crowd of Japanese tourists getting their photo taken under the golden arches at the airport McDonald's

But this made me giggle so much I couldn't hide it, she is clearly today's winner. This woman was just over the tenser from me at security. Talking loudly on her phone using a "hands free" headset, holding the phone up (and open) to put the "hands free" mic in front of her mouth - which required her to hold her open phone up to the side of her face in exactly the same position as just talking on a phone, only 4 inches away from her head and probably $25 dropped on a "hands free" accessory.


Thank you, idiot lady, you got me to laugh at an otherwise miserable collection of humanity.
