I was at the airport for the first time in two years. Hella sensory overload. They were calling people to board by sections. For some reason the NTs all like to crowd the gate, even though they can't get on the plane yet, and all stand in a group--especially helpful during a pandemic. It was my turn to board and I couldn't even tell where the line was, so I asked someone what zone they were lined up for. They said they weren't, they were waiting for theirs to be called. I said they were supposed to be sitting down (as everyone had been asked to stay seated until their row or zone was called). According to my NT husband, I'm not supposed to "police" other people, but I couldn't figure out where the hell to line up and the NTs were all in my way. I hate airports. Also inconsiderate people.
