Airport Delay Personality Types

The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 20, 2010

In light of the throngs of people stuck in limbo in airports and train stations because of ash-related flight delays, John Dickerson of Slate.com is collecting submissions of airport delay personality types. He asserts there are at least 6 distinct personality types that emerge in annoying situations - the sardonic joker, the exasperated mother, the combative lawyer, etc. 

Have you noticed a common type that emerges during annoying plane, train, or bus delays? Give us your best description of a personality type revealed in annoying situations. Write or call in with your personality type!
