New Zealand airport causes stir with sign capping goodbye cuddles to 3 minutes

Three minutes is still an obnoxiously long time to be sitting in the drop off lane saying goodbye. I've got a flight to catch, grab your bags and get fricking moving.

They have this at Melbourne airport. When you drop off your loved one, an officer will come up and start timing how long it takes to unpack and say your goodbyes. We have a two minute limit. If you exceed it, the officer will fine you $240.

Yeah, normally opposed to intrusive government regulation, but this is fine. My schedule shouldn't need to take a back seat to some losers' "special moment" or whatever.

People taking up unnecessary space and slowing others down by being completely oblivious to those around them drives me up the wall.

You should get 3 seconds max. Drop off the person and get out of the fricking way

Not even enough for a good fingering.
