People standing during flights causing delays

I recently flew roundtrip on Southwest and for both flights, we were delayed because people on my flight kept standing up while we were on the ground. I had never even heard this was possible. Is this something new?
First flight, people were fighting over a seat and going to the bathroom on the runway. The captain said we couldn’t move until everyone was seated. This pushed things back significantly and caused other delays that i won’t get into.
On the way back, people started standing up after we had landed and were taxiing to the airport. The plane literally stopped moving on the tarmac while the captain announced we could not move because of it. Am I just flying with shitty travelers or is this some new rule? Or something Southwest has started to do?

This is a true statement regardless of the airline. So many people lose all common sense as soon as they step out of the vehicle at the airport.

Could be a new, or enforcing an old, rule for liability purposes. I have never seen it before take-off other than the occasional "can't wait to use the bathroom" type. I have been on flights where as soon as the plane touched down people were trying to get their overhead luggage out to run to the front and all it did was piss of the passengers & flight attendants. But, never a comment from the pilots

This has always been a rule. Sit your arse down and wait for the chime that indicates you may get up and move about the cabin.
After landing it has always been a rule that you do the same whether it's attaching to a jetway or deplaning down stairs.
IOW, many people that fly are entitled idiots who don't think the rules apply to them.

Let me ask you this ....
If these sh!tty passengers had committed a major crime, would any of the local newspapers or TV stations give an accurate description of them?

Because we have a lot of stupid people now flying for some reason. I have avoided flying this year because of terrible people and bad service. I drive whenever I can.

And the majority immediately stand in the aisle the second the plane reaches the jetway. Why? You can’t go anywhere. And all you do is get in the way when it’s the others’ turn to stand and get their carry ons from the overhead. Just stay seated and wait your turn. You aren’t saving a bit of time.
