People, unless they are drunk, just don't seem to be having fun at the airport today. It surely can't be the long lines to check baggage and then pass through security. I mean, come on, I even found a baggage scale before check in to make sure I was under the fifty pound limit for which I still had to pay twenty dollars give or take a few just to get my bag on board. And surely it can't be the food courts. The woman in front of me bought the last cup of chicken noodle soup so I had to settle for minestrone which I might have chosen anyway and then the woman in front of me who bought the chicken soup I might have eaten asked for cheese to sprinkle on her soup. I passed on the cheese and took the crackers instead. And surely people can't be unhappy at this airport because sitting in the food court eating their lunches or breakfasts of dinners was a Continental cabin crew not, by the way making a good advertisement for the on board meals, complaining about the conditions at Continental saying things like, "I don't know anything. No one ever tells us anything." I'm hoping they weren't referring to essential flight information. I began to worry that they were the passenger cabin for my flight to Los Angeles then discovered they were on their way to Israel. As if that poor country doesn't have enough problems right now they are about to welcome a disgruntled cabin crew from Continental airlines. And surely people can't be unhappy because every flight leaving Newark for anyplace north including Buffalo and all of Canada has been cancelled because of weather. After all, those people get to spend a few days or at least tonight in this very terminal.
I don't know why people in airports seem so unhappy. But so far not too many people are smiling.
I'll keep you posted.
