Unboarding etiquette

It's not worth it for your mouth to write checks your arse can't cash, especially in close quarters where you're going to see these people at the Uber collection point, baggage claim, etc.

You are probably correct, but it still pisses me off.

Also I don't mind if someone is trying to make a tight connection and asks politely as they move by people towards the front.

This is an entirely different scenario. We’ve all been there. And if you’re politely saying “I’m so sorry I have a tight connection” while you make your way up, I’ll go out of my way to help you get past me.

If we land late, and someone behind me has a tight connection, then of course I'll oblige. If we're early or on time, I'm standing in the aisle & letting the people in my row out first.

These threads are black/white…
If someone behind me has a tight connection then it’s perfectly fine. If you’re springing up just to be an idiot, then you should be shot!

EOT.

If I can just simply stand up in the aisle, great, otherwise I let it be. People flying nowadays are crazy.

LSU81,
How do you feel if they are trying to hurry to grab their connecting flight?

It's a situation in which I, simply as a categorical, give people the benefit of the doubt. Plane lands late? Rushing forward to catch a connection. Plane lands on time? Rushing forward because they need to take a shite. I don't know, and I don't really care. For every one a-hole just trying to jump the line, there's probably two people with legit reasons for trying to rush forward. It's not worth my time and attention to figure out who is who. If it's that important to them, godspeed. The thirty seconds they add to my deplaning isn't going to affect my life in the least.

Yep. And I've either landed at my destination or planned a comfortable layover.

It’s out of control.

Modern society is horrible

SO I always get up as soon as the plane is within site of the gate, get my shite out of the overheard and push folks out of the way from my coach seat at the back of the plane because what I got going on is more important than the shite everyone else has going on....

Flying today is truly impressive....its no wonder we elect idiots to public office left and right, we can't even measure what size bag will fit under the seat or in the overhead bin even with a measuring jig at the ticket counter and the gate....about 2/3s of the flying public will try to wedge a fricking suitcase the size of a steamer trunk into a space that would hold a 1950s purse if the woman it belonged to had cleaned it out recently and act surprised when it won't go and it has to be checked and checking it creates about 19 hours of fricking delay for the 1/3 of us who can look at a suitcase and say "that ain't fitting".

Then there are the fricking morons who take a window seat, drink a fricking gallon of coffee at the gate and then have another couple of cups during a 2 hour flight and have to go piss about 73 times between Atlanta and Memphis.....

I absolutely loathe flying. Airports are the worst thing to ever happen to mankind, including the holocaust, but airplanes are a close second. Why we put up with it is beyond me but it appears as if the market is growing....it seems that airports and flights are more packed every time you go anywhere than they were the last time you flew. I can't remember being on a domestic flight that was not almost full in years....most or completely full. Its just horrible.
