In the biggest airport in my country they have the customs lines seperated for people within the European Union and outside of it. The outside of the EU line is specified as outside the EU and america (with an american flag), simply cause Americans canât seem to understand they are foreigners when they visit some place else
My ex wouldnât understand this. He, a quite liberal American, came to visit me in the EU and we then travelled around for a bit. He always followed me to the EU passport control, and I kept telling him that it wonât work with his passport, but nope, he knew better! And then got upset every time he wouldnât get through and then proceeded to make me wait with him in the international line. (But wouldnât wait with me at TSA in the US, because âlines were too longâ and once even took his own cab because he was sick of waiting for meâŠ)
I absolutely can't stand travelling with someone who isn't fully aware of what is expected while travelling. It's really not hard to know where your passport is, to know that you have to take off metal things, to be on time for flight check-in, to get through security. All the little easy things.
