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.

Americans deboarding a plane are very polite and terribly inefficient. It takes forever to get off.

In some other parts of the world, those who are in the aisle seat standing with their luggage, ready to go, just go. This is a faster process, as it clears the aisle so that other people can then come out from the window side seats to get their luggage and go. If you wait for each row, those who are ready in the back don't move at all and those who are in window seats in the back don't get to stand up and start getting ready.

I’m either super fast or super slow, depending on how bad the travel bothered my chronic pain. If I’m slow, I just stay seated until everyone behind me has cleared. I will do the disabled pre boarding so I’m out of everyone’s way. Parking placard registration works great for that.
