People who fake a disability/injury to get priority boarding on an airplane

Dont hate the player hate the game

Its a dumb rule, why not put those people on last?

Hell, if he really wants it that bad and went through all that trouble, just take it. I got better shite to worry about.

It's a great strategy for the guy. He arrived in Houston hours before you.

Never understood the need to get on first (except southwest air). I prefer to get on last. They arrive to parties 30 min early too?

Same. Nothing like waiting on the airplane for 45 minutes.

I'm actually literally deaf for life. I get free priority boarding and pre boarding no matter what.

First on the plane, first off the plane bitches.

I'm just sorry that you were in Chicago and Houston.

A lady I used to work with attempted this in sfo to get priority boarding - they busted her and she boarded last

Why do you want to be on the plane longer? Unless I happen to be in First Class, I like being one of the last frickers to board. Less time I have to be crammed in a tiny seat.

I was on a flight a couple of months ago where about 20 pepole rolled up in wheelchairs! Looked like a tram at Disney world. When the announcement to preboard was made they all started to roll up at the same time. I'm trying not to laugh. Obvious traffic jam builds up, so some road rage ensued. All of a sudden one of the wheelers gets up and punched an older man in his chair! That old dude looked like an old soldier; he had a ballcap that had "retired" something on it I thought. Well he got out of his chair and started a WWE tag team match with another dude that fell out of his chair on the dude that started the fight!

So these 2 guys are bouncing up and down on the dude that started this whole thing, I see the gate agent get on the microphone and start to ask for calm when this big woman in another chair got up and starts whaling on some other woman who had a stroller with a child! I couldn't believe it! The stroller lady had pushed her way past the fighting "handicappers" to avoid being crushed, and she must have bumped the woman who was eating some big sandwich she must have bought from a restaurant in the airport, and must've knocked it out of her mouth!

This was a Southwest flight so no assigned seats so you can imagine what the frequent flyer guys were thinking when the 20 wheelchairs come up at once! And they were getting steamed cause now the A lineup is starting to start to rustle a bit too. I'm in B so I'm sitting watching all this take place with my wife (no pics) and we're trying to stay calm too because we're in seats facing the walk up aisle! Get this! Now the 3 guys are wrestling, the sammich woman is swinging at the stroller and then the rest of the wheelchair people all get up and start running for the gate! Running like healthy people that are mostly overweight, but light trotting you could say. All this effort to get on a plane first! What seemed like 3 minutes was probably 40 seconds, when a security team comes busting through the melee and chair sprawl and open the door get on the floor, everybody do the dinosaur.
