While by now, you know I'm not the normal person as while what I'm mainly going to be talking about here is cool things I see around when I travel across the world, I will sometimes go on a tangent and talk about things like airport seating designs, since for example, I do spend quite a bit of time traveling and these waiting areas are a part of life.
For myself, airports are a necessary evil till the day that instant teleportation becomes possible. So, making the most of the time you spend in waiting areas, while boring, can be productive and even fun! What do you mean Holly? Well, let's briefly bring up some points.

While sitting on that airport bench, what do you do? Fiddly your thumbs till the plane comes in? In this day and age, more than likely though, one is usually on their mobile device, ignorant to the immediate surroundings. And you wonder why a thief can find easy prey right? Sheesh...take some time and look around you. Learn to appreciate every thing because one day, you'll regret it if you don't. Now don't get me wrong, I'm like the next gal and totally love playing games on my phone and of course I'm connected on most of the popular social networks as well. Doesn't mean I don't pay attention.
The coolest person on the planet could be sitting right next to you so I'm just reminding you when you are stuck in a place like the airport, get off that chair and look around. Admiring the architecture can be fun, but human beings are so interesting. Make an effort to get to know one. So yeah, while I might have thrown you off about focusing on the details of your airport bench, I just did that to get your attention because while someone did go into a lot of thought in choosing that chair you are sitting on, it was to also make it easier for you to interact with people. Take advantage of it!
