Why no one seem to identify with poor Mike? He seems like he"s under a lot of stress haha.
The polite phrases I could catch were:
Sorry for interrupting…

Sorry, I don’t mean to interrupt, but …
Would you mind if I jump in here, Mike?
Excuse me for being so rude, but if you’d be so kind as to…
Let me add something here…
Would you both be so very kind as to…
Pardon me, sir, but I wonder if you’ll be kind enough to help me out.

I think Charles is a diplomatic guy. So, I feel more related with him. Then I would start off reading a book like Bob did, meanwhile I wait for my plane’s arrival.

Vocabulary:
-get comfortable: ponte cómodo
-get out: salir
-makes you pretty mad, doesn´t it: te pone bastante enojado, ¿no es así?
-I am in no rush: no tengo prisa
-I am just fed up with: estoy enojado con
-complain: queja
-I do not mean to interrupt: no pretendo interrumpir
-drizzle: llovizna
-fine folks like yourself: buena gente como tú
-messed up: hacer un desastre

-Pardon me, sir, but I wonder if you would be kind enough to help me out

It seems Bob´s attitude relates more with my personality and likes because he wasn´t mad and he tried to pass time reading a book.
