When you are little, flying is an awesome power possessed by superheroes. Now the idea of flying causes an involuntary groan. Everything about the experience is a hassle starting with taking off every item of clothing and jewelry but somehow still managing to set off the alarm. Then, being forced to throw away an expensive bottle of face wash because it's over the legal limit, and let's not forget endless flight delays. And if you're out of clever ideas on what to do when bored, the pain of it just triples.
But even with all the nonsense associated with flying, some smart people still manage to make the best out of a less than ideal situation. Bored Panda has rounded up a list of hilarious photos of clever people who are winning at life despite being stuck at the airport. These people go against the grain (or, more specifically, the rules of the moving walkway) and prove that not all heroes wear capes but instead, in one case, strategic joke penis aprons. From funny accidents to calculated pranks, this list has it all. Scroll down below for the full dose, and don't forget to upvote your favorite of these funny people!

Nothing to worry about. Cars and busses are much more dangerous. Plus with planes it's one big ball of flame- and done. Can you imagine how horrible it is to drown? The only thing worse is that unending movie with DiCaprio. By the half point I was rooting for the iceberg.
