You don't sit up front?


Sometimes, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve had people from the way back just go as far to the front as they can. First class is no defense. Seems to be mostly 20 somethings with sparse beards wearing a fishing shirt and a flatbill, but that’s just an observation.

I'm hitting that lane like Leonard Fournette up the middle when I got a tight connection and we are inevitably late. Sorry dawg.

Man. We're all going to the same baggage carousel. I'll sit and wait until the plane is empty.
Only time I'm up to get off is if I'm almost late for a connector. The one time that happened to me. The steward told me and the others to get up and told everyone to stay seated until we got up. We only had 15 minutes to make a gate.

Sorry that I have a connecting flight that ends boarding in 20 minutes and there are no other flights tonight and I'll end up having to stand in land to get my flight rebooked plus a voucher for a hotel and now it's past midnight and I can't book a hotel on Priceline for the night I want and it only lets me book for the following day now. So now I'm calling around to all the hotels in the area that are all booked, but the ones that aren't are $300 and the airline only gave me a voucher for $150. Then you have only one restaurant still open at the airport and it's a Subway with a 2 hour long line with people sleeping on the ground while in the line.

They're probably excited to meet the travel ball superstar pilots.

This I understand and I even help to open lanes to get people out. No excuse when at your final destination.

Again, totally acceptable in this scenario.

I was on a flight 3 weeks ago… while taxiing after landing, the flight attendant announced there was a family of 6 in one of the back rows who needed to make a quick connection. She asked that everyone please stay seated, so the family could depart first. The whole plane complied.

It’s rare to see a full plane of decent people.

Sometimes other people have to hustle to catch a connector.

Don't judge

I saw a fat guy of India or Pakistan with fake gold rings on each finger run his fat arse up to the front and yelled at his wife for not being right behind him. Smelled like some wal mart body spray from Vegas to Los Angeles a few years back.

Hope wherever he is right now he's late for something important

Was he 20 something with a sparse beard and a PFG shirt?

I do the same. None get past me, and I step into the aisle

It's one of the reasons I always get an aisle seat. Also because I'm tall and it's always a relief to stand up after a flight.

I make sure to let everyone on my row and the row in front of me to get off first.

My kids know this also...I make them wait until the other folks in front of us get off and am helpful by aiding people getting their carryons out of the overhead bins.

Manners, it's a thing.

I have an irrational hatred for these people. They are scum.

I never understood it, I even asked one guy at the Lobby airport baggage carousel why he was in such a rush to get there, and all I got was the nervous eyes of "im in a hurry". A hurry to wait. Okay Bub.

I've been considering rushing to the back while telling everyone they are opening up the rear door for departure just to see how it plays out.

It's just a manifestation of how screwed up many people are. Many probably tailgate in freeway traffic.

Was it an unnatural orange or yellow color? If so, then it's not fake. You've just never seen 24 karat gold before. No self respecting Indian would dare wear fake gold.
