    18 Slightly Horrifying Airport Moments That Will Make You Say "WHY?!"

    Please don't say "Thank you for your patience" again.

    1. When you arrive and immediately know that you'll have to fight through all these people to make your flight.

    2. Getting to the security line and realizing you're about to lose the one thing that matters most.

    3. And that you'll never get this 60 minutes of your life back.

    4. When you're in the security line and the person in front of you is acting like they didn't hear the "what not to bring with you" announcements.

    5. Or when you're "randomly" selected for extra screening and have the pat down that makes you feel a lot of emotions at once.

    6. Forgetting that you're going to have to take your shoes off, and being wildly unprepared.

    7. When you just need to charge your phone for a MINUTE, but everyone else has basically stolen your outlet.

    8. And when your phone inevitably dies, so you're just left to sit and ponder what you've done wrong in life to deserve this.

    9. When the airline conveniently forgets to tell you that your flight has a "new time," which is code for "DELAYED."

    10. The moment when you spot a crying baby and just know that they'll be on your flight.

    11. Realizing that even the airport signs don't know what the F they're talking about.

    12. Trying to read through all of this code to find wherever the hell your gate is.

    13. When you're sitting in the teeny tiny airport seats and someone walks by and rolls over your feet with their luggage.

    14. The horror that is being assigned a zone that will be called last.

    15. And all of the monsters who crowd the terminal before their zone is called.

    16. When they announce that your flight is overbooked and ask for some volunteers. Then force you to volunteer.

    17. When you're finally ready to board the plane, and the flight attendants insist your bag won't fit in the overhead.

    18. And when your trip is over, and you have to do the whole airport thing all over again...

    Hey, at least you get to travel somewhere... right?
