    it’s actually a time limit on how long you can stay in the drop-off zone, which is very reasonable

      Seriously you’ve been in the car together for a relatively long time already. Say your longer goodbyes then

    This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting “hug time” instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a “full English breakfast”? We’ll tell you all about it. There’s a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn’t that cute! Here’s a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.

    It’s like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.

    I can’t speak to all US airports but at MCO (Orlando, FL) you’d be lucky to get a ten second hug in before the security guard starts harassing you about clearing the drop-off area.

      No shit. These guys are assholes. I really fucking hate the Orlando International Airport. Never before have I had to wait so long in line for security even when there was no one else in line.

      What if you arrive early, didn’t do online check-in, and have to wait for the check-in desk to open? It maybe I don’t understand what you mean by “drop-off area”.

        It’s just a road and sidewalk in front of the building where people who are giving rides pull over so their passengers can get out.
