 Poster: A snowHead

4. Passengers who arrive at passport control, having walked past all the signs and seen people queuing up, who then say "Oh, is it my passport you want?". Cue protracted search through pockets, money belts, bags....
Should be shot on sight...

I've never seen that one! I have seen loads of people walk down and stand in the old Iris machines even when they haven't registered.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Oh, and it is not just the passenger zombies, there are some on the staff as well. Recently experienced at Geneva security queue. Member of security staff on conveyor to x-ray machine, watches me take out my laptop, tablet and phone and place them in separate boxes as requested, then asks me if I have a laptop, tablet or phone. I was tempted to say no, to see what happened, but since sarcasm and airport security are not a good cocktail, so I pointed at them. But this was deemed insufficient evidence so I was asked again........

I have a train zombie story fron today's trip from St Anton to Zurich.
I'm settled in my reserved seat with a can of soft drink in it's correct spot on the table (there's a sort of indentation). Along come Mr Outdoors with a huge rucksack complete with crampons tied to the outside. As he passes me his rucksack send my drink flying across the aisle and onto the floor and the feet and bags of the passengers across from me. He stops, sort of stares with a blank look on his face then keeps walking. There was much swearing and disgust from the affected passengers and I end up apologising profusely even though it wasn't my fault.
A week ago such an action without an apology would have left me upset but I'm now accustomed to the apparent rudeness and indifference of some Austrian / German / Swiss travellers (and a certain restaurant manager in Zurs). Plenty are lovely but there are definately some that really need to learn a few manners.

I had the misfortune yesterday to be dragged by Mrs endo to Tesco. A whole new level of Zombies in there. I think it's over 6 months since I was last there. hate the places. People just stopping for a chat and blocking an entire aisle, small humans running riot, 3/4's of the shop now taken over by none food as well. I actually enjoyed the couple of trips into French hypermarkets the other week, just seem so much nicer.

I confess to being perfectly healthy but I didn't move once I was on the travelator at Gatwick this evening. I was tired and didn't have the energy to pull my ski bag and other bag along. I was also conserving energy as I didn't know how far I'd have to pull everything to get to the bus stop. Note to self: really must stop overpacking!!!
