Well you've obviously found the internet kiosk so - that's how you use up your remaining currency:rolleyes:

I was stuck in Glasgow airport for a few hours once - they had those vibrating reclining chairs you sometimes see in shopping malls - cue me & a good read of Car magazine...

Or - you could taunt the security gurads if you're getting bored

As soon as I saw the thread title I knew I had to suggest jerking off for 7 hours as an option. Well done, sir, on beating me to it :eek:

Find the paging system and ask for Seymour Butts to meet you in the departure lounge at <insert gate area>.

Tear out each page and make a separate paper aeroplane and judge the ideal aerodynamics on a real scale.

Or what Almighty Cushion said.

See how often you can crack one off in an hour and then try and beat that record. :pac:

Failing that, magazines, bar... Or do what I did in Madrid airport a week or so and wander about in a daze...

I THINK! that you should strip and get arrested! and then tell them you have 'issues' and the best thing to do is get you on a flight and send you home straight away!

Spent sixteen hours in Newcastle airport in April. Bought about 14 magazines, flicked through, waffled to the Irish School boys soccer team who were moving through, ate ice cream, thought the staff at starbucks how to make my special personalised drink that they make me in my local coffee shop, ate, slept... oh and then the bar opened.

Being stuck in Treviso for 7 hours would actually be an Italian flavoured hell. What airport you are in does influence this question massively?

OP if you're still there.... claim ownership under squatters rights, but after squatting this long you may need medical help.

I had to wait in Amsterdam airport for 10 hours many years ago. I went into town, bought a bag of grass and a lump of hash, made my way back to the airport, found a quiet corner and smoked myself into a near comatose state for the next 8 hours.
Have you any way of scoring some drugs?

The one in the new terminal isn't too bad, as far as I can remember it was fairly decent on price too and open 24/7 from the looks of things.

window shop, buy a book/magazine, go to the toilet, go for a walk, watch the planes for a bit, go to the toilet again, read your book, go to the airport bar and have a drink if you can afford it, go to the airport bar and order a tap water and watch the tv if you havent any cash, go back to the toilet,

Yeah but you'd have to keep doing it for maximum lolz. When security come to get you point at them and shout bomb. As they are dragging you away keep shouting it at chairs and plants and such...

Watch all the women going by and think about the best position to take them ..depending on butt size, breast size, face looks etc.
Realize about 2 hours later that all the women passing by weren't checking you out but staring at your hard-on
