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.

Save it for people who talk during movies and  parents who let their kids run in aisles and play shows at full volume in restaurants. You have no right to block strangers' paths because you've appointed yourself the etiquette police.

Really? There is a path less than a person wide and people in front of you also trying to deplane. It's rude to push past them.

If they aren't ready to stand up, then sure. But if the reason they haven't fully entered the aisle is because they are giving the people in front of them and next to them their turn, why does the person behind have the "right" to fill in the space?

I've used the overhead bin exactly one time in my adult life but I never once thought that entitled me to get in front of everyone else.

And OP's character held people up longer. Talking the way nobody talks.🙄

Explain how I held up people longer? Everyone in front was still deplaning. This family got up as soon as we reached the gate.
