Airports bring out the worst in people.
Whether it's jostling unnecessarily for best spot at the luggage carousel, sleeping on the floor or getting hammered at the airport bar, we're not at our best pre or post-flight.
One man proved that again at Dublin Airport on Thursday when he was confronted with the very-real prospect of watching the plane he was supposed to be on taxi down the runway and disappear.
The would-be passenger was reportedly told he'd arrived at the gates of the Ryanair flight to Amsterdam too late. Instead of taking their word for it, he made a dramatic dash onto the tarmac.
No, sadly, he did not manage to waive the commercial aircraft down and heroically board the flight. He was tackled by ground staff and arrested.
