At the airport.

Was in a queue to clear security. All of the lines were backed up and taking time to clear.

All of a sudden a post wall land whale that was further back than me starts crying in a dramatic fashion a rushes to one of the security officers.

Through the tears and wailing I could only make out something about needing to get gateside because something something depression.

I watch the situation unfold with a MGTOW critical eye.

Security guy rushes her to the front of the line while she begins apologizing between sobs to anyone in earshot.

Watched her sail through and thought to myself "could be real, could be fake. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt".

Having just gone through the full security process I stop by the airside convenience store to get some water to stay hydrated after a long flight.

Who do I see at the register? Yes. The maiden of this story. Happy as can be because she is about to treat her depression with packs of M&Ms, chips, candy and full fat pop.

Smiling away. Like nothing just happened.

I've got to tell you brothers..... this performance was Oscar worthy.

AWALT.
