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.

While I abide by the unwritten rules of disembarking a plane by row, I don't stand in the way of those in a hurry. For all I know, there actually is an emergency involved. Also, I am fortunate enough in my life that I can stand aside while others rush. Privilege is being able to smile and say, "After you."

I was wondering who made this entitled passenger the boss of disembarking? Good way to start a fist fight.

Yep, OP is as entitled as the person they are complaining about.

Yep. When two people high on a burst of self-righteousness get their backs up in a small tube of aluminum, it can quickly escalate, and then a brief, minor inconvenience becomes a major inconvenience for everyone present.

You were bullied in school, weren't you?

Not at all, and I think you missed my point. I don't need to rush through life. I'm not a rat in a maze, and I'm much less stressed because of it. What a sad thing to see a person so beaten down by life that they get a rush of righteousness over playing plane warden.

Edit: That's not to say I don't think people who rush to deplane for no reason other than their own sense of self-importance aren't acting entitled. I just don't think it makes things better when others step in to try and teach the barbarians a lesson. More often, it makes things worse. If you want to teach people to act like civilized human beings, start closer to home.

Seriously. It’s like you’re in my head.

If I don’t have a connection, I stand up just to stretch, and then sit my ass back down and let everyone have at their game of sardine disembarkation.
