I feel pretty miserable at Sea-Tac. I don’t want to visit the other 9 airports that beat it in misery.

God in Heaven, this is amazing. The voice actors of Spongebob redo scenes from Casablanca, Singing in the Rain and The Godfather. The bit at the end where they hum the theme is so great.

Ms. Robinson’s recount of the Valentine’s Day ritual at her office. Sounds like a nightmare.
I dunno, I reckon LAX is just about the worst I’ve come across, and that includes Delhi’s old airport. Thailand is pretty damn useless too - a “silent terminal” for the sake of long layover passengers (even in daytime) means there’s bugger all to do if you’re waiting.
D’oh. The actual list is here: America’s Most Miserable Airports
LAX ranks 16th because it has less delayed flights. But I agree that LAX is terrible. I like to pretend that LAX is what people-smuggling feels like. This index is facetious at best and they should really check things like queues at peak times, parking, luggage delays and lost luggage. LAX stole my Motorola RAZR right out of my checked luggage and it robbed me of what sanity and self-esteem I had left after a 14-hour flight. You could say LAX mugged and raped me.
