Airports

Airports are not just places of travel but confusion, mistakes ,unrest and general chaos. You get the a sense of 'OMG, please just let me get to where I'm going.'
You just want someone to speak to you just to pass the time. Or maybe something exciting to happen like 'OH NO! I spilt my coffee!' Ah, coffee the magical substance full of brain kickin' action.
Oh 7 11, the wonder of Bergen, a home away from home in my eyes. Brilliant coffee, 20Kr, which is good in price by Norwegian standards. Then if your lucky, you get a free donut.
Ah that free donut.
Why is it that no matter what it is, we don't say no to free things? However, when your free to enjoy your little bundle of unsuspecting happiness you start to think 'wait a minute, what's the catch? Why did I get this? Is it broken, diseased or maybe full of some weird mind controlling stuff?' (which I'm convinced the government outs in the water, hehe, my little bit of conspiracy work)
Or, maybe after you eat it you go on to enjoy the rest of you day.
See. (i think). We-as humans- have this inbuilt thing to be curious/wary of anything and everything. But it is our sentience/ common sense (which isn't so common) that allows us to push aside these natural- sometimes unwanted- feelings and just get on with it.
Ok, i do realise i went a bit off topic but hey, that's what i do. hehe...

I know what you mean about free things... Yesterday I went to the cinema. A friend of mine works there, so she gets discounts on the food. Three HUGE scoops of Ben and Jerry's ice cream for the price of one, when one scoop probably would have been too much anyway. I had to eat my way through this mountain of icecream. It was a bit nightmare-ish, not at all as good as you'd think it would be!

I ended up eating half a scoop and giving the rest away...

Ah yes, the eternal human suspicion: why didn't they try and get money out of me for it?

My logic is, meh, it's free!
