I went to pick my DW up at about 8pm, her flight home was delayed as her plane was coming to Chicago from Boston where it was snowing all day; she got in about 3 hours late. She texted me upon touchdown and I started out for the airport, since she had checked a bag I stopped for gas and then stopped at the cell phone lot along Will Clayton. After a bit she texted me that bags from her flight were coming down and I could just head to the pickup area at terminal C. Normally if she just has a carryon I pick her up at the far end of the drop off area upstairs and just avoid the pickup below but as she had a larger suitcase (winter clothes for Chicago) I stayed on the lower level. It was pretty packed, I think there must have been a lot  of delayed flights since 8pm on a Friday is usually late for it to be so crowded. A guy at the entry point pointed for me to go into the far right lane which was wide open. The pickup area has 3 sections with 3 lanes each, but the center one has Chevron marks and is a through lane. They had cars parked and waiting in it and the waiting lanes on either side were open which seemed odd. I got to the end and stopped, I was going to text the DW to tell her where I was. That's when a little lady in a safety vest with a flashlight came up and shouted at me to keep on going. I rolled down my window and she yelled again. I said, "but this is a pickup lane. you've got all the cars in the through lane!" She insisted I move on, saying "Don't argue with me you have to go around the airport and come back in!"I asked for an ID number as I was going to complain to her supervisor about being so rude. "Get the H--- out of here or I'm calling HPD!"  "I want your badge number," I insisted. She started walking away talking into her walkie talkie for assistance. I got my phone and tried to get her picture but she turned her back on me.  I decided to go on as it wasn't worth arguing with a cop. The frustrating thing is you have to drive all the way back out Will Clayton to make a u-turn since they removed the old u-turn lane that used to get you back to C. I called my wife and told her to head upstairs to the Departure drop off and by the time I got there she was waiting.  I think we will just do that every week now, she is Chicago bound for the next 8 weeks. 4951

Pick-up traffic management is dysfunctional over there. If busy I pay the couple bucks and park rather than get **** off. 4951

You should have acted like you didn't speak English. It works for me everytime! They usually ***** about this being America and I should learn English as they're walking away. 4951

Last couple times I needed to pick someone up at Bush I parked at one of the lots and rode the van to the terminal.  Was truly great!  They pick you up at your vehicle and drop you off at your vehicle... 4951
