"I was out of money and instead of paying for a 45minute bus journey and returning to a vacant flat I had just moved into I decided I would wait for the next flight in the morning by staying the night at the airport. I couldn't check in a suitcase which was empty (which was be refilled in the destination country for the return journey) until then so I had to keep it around me.
While buying a drink I left the suitcase aside a table, while still in sight, as it was too big to carry with a cup and saucer. As I went towards it with the coffee a porter came towards me repeating that I was not to leave the luggage/suitcase aside. I apologised and said ok, yes, but he was very repetitive. I said ok a fourth time. About two minutes later a guard with the full kit came over to me and asked me a load of questions, which I answered. I explained why I had decided to stay the night which I was told at the ticket office would be ok, but that security would be called to me, just to see that 'i'm o'k'. I was advised to return home, which I responded that I felt more comfortable staying at the airport. I found myself having to repeatedly answer comments already spoken from repetitive questions. And of course the guard said I appeared nervous, and a bit upset, which I thought maybe I should agree to, which I did, but in reality I felt harassed and uneasy by this questioning while trying to be friendly, casual, polite, smiley etc."
