I usually find myself wanking on “Security Line Idiots” at the airport…. one of my personal pet peeves. By this I mean stories of those immense idiots that spend 5 to 20 minutes waiting in the access line, but then wait until they are right in front of the xray machine to take 3 or 4 more minutes of MY TIME to search through their bags, their pockets for who knows what…. coins, keys, liquids… incredibly difficult to remove shoes…. “Security Line Idiots”... get a hint… either before or while you are standing in the access line doing nothing ... empty your pockets… get rid of that water bottle… take off that belt… get everything done so you don’t waste the time of all the travelers standing behind you…. YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

I LOVE the wanker post. You won’t find a bigger group of wankers than travel writers when we get together. A bunch of Commander McBraggs one-upping each other. I hate us.
