    1. Somehow, even if I've been sitting at the gate for an hour, I always find myself REALLY wanting to go buy something as soon as they call boarding

  2. This reminds me of a time when I had just enough time to buy a train ticket (direct, otherwise I had to either wait an hour or change trains three times).
    There were queues at every desk but one, where there was one guy currently buying a single ticket. I ran and waited in line behind him, thanking my lucky stars and hoping I could still catch my train. The guy ordered his ticket, and then leisurly began typing the code of his bankcard as he proceeded to tell the woman behind the desk all about his son at uni, his daughter who was currently travelling through Europe, his wife... Needless to say, I missed my train by a fairly large margin.  ̄へ ̄
