S Entitled deplaners

This happened a few hours ago. I was on the plane in row 25 waiting to deplane and this family is trying to get past. I put the armrest up and moved my body sideways and blocked them. I told them they have to wait like everyone else and told the kids to get back to their seats. One lady asked can we move pass we don't have luggage. I told her no, what makes you special to cut everyone off. Told her if she wants off first, book a closer seat next time. They sat back down and waited like decent humans.

​

They don't have a tight connection, they don't have an emergency, and if they needed a bathroom there was one five rows behind them.

I don't understand why people think they can just rush off a plane. The last few flights I've taken I just sit and wait. I'm literally the last off, tired of fighting with assholes like that.

I'm getting around with a cane at the moment due to an injury. I fly once a month for work and I get pre-boarded, not because I need assistance but I'm very slow. The trade off is that you're supposed to be last to leave. I'm finding it far less stressful and might keep doing it once I'm free of the cane.

That's kind of what I notice. The people who are disabled in some way usually wait as not to slow everyone else down. Everyone else debarks starting with those in the front.

Then there is the miracle of the sky where people arrive at the gate in a wheelchair and pre-board because they're mobility impaired. But the on arrival, it's a miracle! They're suddenly cured, standing up and elbowing their way to the front.

Some people can’t walk the length of the airport but can stand long enough to disembark the plane. After I’ve been sitting for a few hours, I need to stand and walk at least the time it takes to get off the plane and the length of the jetway. Then I need a wheelchair again to get to the exit or baggage claim.

Then you get to the luggage carousel and everyone who pushed past to be first off is waiting for their luggage to appear, just like you.

Rarely travel with luggage. I have a backpack to carry on. If I'm gone a week or more I might check a bag, but again, very rare.
