Hello, everyone. I'm George. Today, let's talk about infuriating behaviors at the airport.
Okay, it's summer vacation now. People want to go traveling to another
country. I bet you're one of them. Maybe you are watching this video at the
airport right now. So today, we're going to talk about some infuriating behaviors
that you would see either at the airport or on the plane. Listen to what I'm going to say.
Check if you've done that before. Don't do it again. And learn some English from it.
Here we go. Number One. Repacking overweight luggage at the counter.
Repacking overweight luggage at the counter. You know, a lot of times when you
are ready to come back home, and you've just done a lot of shopping during your
travel. Maybe in Japan. You put everything into the luggage, and you just try to
squeeze in as many souvenirs as possible into the small little tiny luggage of yours.
You're at the airport counter. You realize that it's overweight. What do you do?
You squat down. Open your luggage. And start rearranging everything in your luggage.
Do you know there are a lot of people waiting in line? Maybe some of
them cannot catch the flight because of you. You know what? I've done that before.
And I've learned a lesson from it. If you're afraid this might happen to you,
you can buy a scale. It's not super expensive. It is only like NT$200 or NT$300.
And you can carry it in your bag. You can weigh as many times as possible.
So next time make sure before you go to the airport, weigh your luggage first. And
Number Two. Crowding the baggage carrousel. Crowding the baggage carrousel.
After you just get off the airplane, you go through the customs. You would go to
the luggage claim. And what do you do? You stand there in front of the baggage
carousel, and you wait. But there are some people who would just stand so close to
the conveyor (conveyer) belt. They're blocking everything. You see your baggage there,
but because those people are standing right in front of you. You just cannot
get to it. Come on! Your baggage will be here. When is your time, step forward.
Don't block the way. Don't crowd in front of the baggage carousel. And Number Three.
Videos at full volume. Videos at full volume.
Sometimes when I'm catching a red-eye, I really need some sleep. I get off work at
probably nine o'clock, ten o'clock. I go to the airport. It's already 12 o'clock.
I need to take a nap. And there are always some other people who sit next to you,
that are watching a video without wearing a ear phone. They just want to
share the video with everyone at the airport or on the plane. I don't want to
watch that video. Turn down the volume. Get a pair of earphones. And let me
quietly enjoy my nap. Number Four.
Kid wilding. Kid wilding.
I love kids.
I'm not against kids at the airport or on the plane. But when they're running
around without the supervision of their parents, they might get hurt, and they
could go crazy. You might see kids running around kicking over everything. They might
be tripped over by other people's bags. What if they're hurt? They would cry.
And it's so noisy. Remember, I'm not against having kids in the airport. I'm not
against having family trips happily. I'm against parents thinking everyone should
be babysitting their kids. They're your kids. They're your responsibility. So next
time when you're taking your kids out, make sure you are parenting
Don't let your kids go wilding. Number Five.
Bogarting electrical outlets. Bogarting electrical outlets.
In this world, a lot of people would have more
than two phones, and sometimes people even have an iPad, your electronic books
even your power bank, and your laptop. Do you have to charge them all at the same
time. How many electrical outlets are you going to occupy at the same time? Come on!
There are hundreds or thousands of people at the airport. At least spare one
for others. It's not your home. If you want to do this, do it at your home, in
your own house. This is a public place. Don't bogart all the electrical outlets at
the same time. You don't have to charge them all. Let other people enjoy a moment
of pleasure like you do. Number six.
Go through security unprepared. Go through security unprepared.
You know, when you go through security, you have to
take out your laptop. You have to take out your cell phones. You have to empty
your pockets, and you also have to take off your jackets, and put everything in
the basket they prepare for you. Sometimes they're just people who don't
know anything about this. Read the instructions. If this is your first time
to go abroad, look at what other people are doing. Don't just go to the security
gate, and wait there, block the whole way. You know what to do. Take off your belt.
Empty your pockets. Take out your laptops. Take out your cell phones.
Take off your jackets. Take off your backpacks.
Maybe sometimes you have some metal objects on you. Also take them off if you can.
Put them all in the basket. And you are good to go. Get it?
So never go to the security unprepared. These are the six things that I found
that are very infuriating at the airport or sometimes on the plane. Try not to do
them. Or at least when you accidentally do that, don't do them unapologetically.
People hate it. Have you ever seen people do something really annoying at the
airport, or have you done anything like that before?
