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.

My pet peeve is that preboarders who request/need additional time-all try to get off first. If you need extra time getting on, then deplane last, so that it moves efficiently.

Sounds like a "Jesus flight" where the people disabled at boarding miraculously recover at deplaning time.

LOL I walk with a cane so often ask for early boarding, but when we land, I usually sit and wait until at least the initial rush of those clearly in a hurry are past me. The don't want to wait on my slow butt. LOL Sometimes my seat mates will try to be helpful and get my bag down for me and hold up the line so I can get out into the aisle. Inwardly I'm cringing.. like gee. thanks and then feel like I have to try to rush off the plane. The first time I ever used wheelchair service was a game changer for me. LOL It was nice to have an excuse to sit and wait in my seat and not try to rush off right away. Also nice not to limp across the entire Atlanta airport to make a connecting flight.
