Some observations while in flight delay purgatory at Baltimore-Washington Airport: people standing on moving sidewalks. I get the standing on an escalator as climbing steps uses much more energy than just walking at a normal pace. I haven't quite figured out the standing on a moving sidewalk. Isn't the point to cover more ground more quickly?

Sometimes I like to be fricking lazy. At least I stand to the right to let others pass

Walking briskly on the moving sidewalks is an awesome sensation. Makes me feel like the Flash.

You've got perfectly abled people roaming around in electric scooters and this surprises you? People are lazy.

Had to wait in Southwest's long arse line because I'm bringing my concealed carry gun to BR. Missed my 30 minute bag-checking window when they moved my delayed flight up 15 minutes.

Neither. Walk on a moving sidewalk.

Being in an airport 9 straight hours changes you...

Correct. Not a big fan of the people that just stand there.

I was in Denver, now in Houston. I didn't have any issues getting around those people. What I can't stand is the people who bring on every carry on item allowed. Not for the space. They're just slow to load and unload. Frick that. I will gladly always pay the 25$ to check my bag and be hands free. Much better to only have pockets with stuff

My checked bag is about 47lbs and I have a full duffle bag and a small back pack with my phone charger and neck pillow in it that come on the plane... Deal with it.

I said it doesn't bother me. You probably aren't slow as Frick either as you did say Frick the people who just stand.
