Someone mocked people who get their laptops out at the airport and the fury it prompted among these very busy travellers was simply brilliant

Here’s a rather fabulous thing that that started with a funny observation and ended in an escalating ball of eye-bulging fury.

And it doesn’t get much better than that.

So here is @feelingsplain with their totally on-point observation about people who get their laptops out at the airport. Specifically, the airport bar.

Got your laptop out at the airport bar have you? Sending a little email or two eh? I bet you must be very important back home. Colour me impressed buddy

And while it made lots of people smile, nod in agreement (and usually both) …

@feelingsplain one email at the airport bar and suddenly he’s running the company from gate B12 😭

… it prompted no end of fury from some very busy people with some very important jobs.

And they are totally off the wall and very, very funny.
