The long lines. The uncomfortable security checks. The ill manners. The inebriation. Air travel is intrinsically unpleasant. Here, nine types of people you'll most likely encounter (and be annoyed by) at the airport.

The Rookie
Ill prepared doesn't begin to describe this lost-looking soul, who is almost certainly toting an accidental weapon in his carry-on.

The New Parents Trying Their Best
Cut 'em some slack; they're not enjoying this either.

Their enthusiasm is the opposite of contagious.

Try to see beyond their squeals and neon clothing and pity their livers.
