[Airport Etiquette] - If You Ain't Using It, Don't Sit Next To It

I apologize for not explaining it further. For the people stating to get a portable charger, yea that would be helpful. Yes. Me personally, as I get to airports very early, I do not see a need for it.

I did not need to switch seats. I was not charging my phone. I was on my laptop finishing up as much work for my job as I could. Obviously, I am traveling, so I would be away for a bit. I had a seat, and there was no reason for me to switch seats. To sum it up, I was completely fine.

When the guy came, it was pretty decently crowded around the outlets: there were 2 seats remaining (approx 8). There were many seats around, clear of other people as well, he could have sit next to. Unfortunately, he would have needed to walk an extra 20 steps. So he sat down, eating pizza.

This was a decent time before the plane. Soon enough, some people were charging their phone and standing up near them (which to the people saying you don't have to stand near: true). The other seat was soon taken. 5 minutes later, there were two others with people with laptops, one sitting and the other using it on the charging ledge. I would think this isn't passive aggressive: they were using their laptop for whatever reason, not really making a scene... If they needed to charge it and use it, what else could they have done?

However, could that guy really not have gone further? Come on man...

Many seats available away from the charging station.

That is what I used to do. However, my trusty laptop is going on 7 years old, and basically, it needs to be charged constantly because its battery life is very small. Like I said, I was in a seat within the charging section. It is a pet peeve of mine to get to the airport early because Houston drivers suck (wrecks/traffic), so the seats are open. I tend to be productive in the airport as well, because when working online, it doesn't really matter where one is.

I hate the aholes that scurry forward bumping people out of the way when the plane ends, then you see them on a chair outside casually talking to somebody or eating. Did you really need to rush out of the plane?

Stereotype more? I don't even have candy crush on my phone, and wasn't even charging it. Like I said, I was using my laptop.

Statement above ^ Would be nice if you read through the thread a bit before throwing out stuff like that.

Doesn't that cost? Ain't nobody got the money for that.

That is a negative. He was eating pizza.
