I had a woman breastfeed next to me a few years ago. Just popped a tit out and put the baby on it. It was horrible but at least the baby stopped crying for a little bit.

And no she wasn’t attractive. She could’ve started on the Saints O-Line to put it lightly.

I generally like to stand for a few minutes before boarding just because I am about to sit on the plane for a while. I do not stand on the plane while unloading until it’s about time for my row to exit.

Next time, call your doctor, tell him you need xanax because you have to fly from an airport.
Won't help anyone but you, and in my view, that's all that matters.

I wasn't very clear in the OP. I meant standing up in the aisle at the end of the flight, right when the plane gets to the gate.

Although people who are in the late boarding groups and stand in the front while they're calling for first class are awful too.

Group 4 and 5 people blocking the group 1 lane piss me off almost as much as people in TSA Pre that have no fricking clue what they need to do.

Agreed.

Slacks and, at worst, a decent t-shirt.

I don't understand why people in first class want to board first, and have all these people banging you in the heads with their carry ons just to get a drink you can get 10 minutes later.

I’m just not interested in going anywhere I can’t drive to. That’s how much I hate airports.

My seat is reserved. I have zero reason to not be one of the last people on the plane. But I also check luggage and have a small carry on.

Completely agree. I would much prefer to stay a few more minutes in the terminal than any more time I have to on an airplane (even with the extra leg room).

Also don’t understand why planes are not boarded back to front.

Oh, you said you wanted to kill 8 minutes?

the best method to load a plane (youtube)


Personally I think people who pay extra want to make sure everyone sees them get on the plane before them as some sort of power trip.

If its a 10 hour or less drive, I'm driving. Not even a consideration. If its 10-14 hours I MIGHT fly.

Flying commercial is an abysmal experience in 2021. Its fricking horrible

Oh, so you’re one of those people that holds up the rest of the plane while you’re pulling down your carry on and your heavy arse wheelie that you should have checked, from the overhead at the last minute. frick you people.

I always remain seated until it’s my turn to stand and get off. The best is when I have the isle seat and the person in the window tries to jump up the moment the plane lands but can’t because I stay seated. Makes me laugh every time

I will drive 6 hours to avoid a 45 minute flight.


I mean, maybe a 3-4 hour drive. Anything much more than that is a stretch. I get you have to get to the airport early and pay for parking or a cab. And then get transportation on the other end. But if it is a 6 hour drive then I’d gladly fly.

Yep. Board back to front by rows, would be so much quicker and easier.
