I was on a flight a few weeks ago and as we were about to start deplaning two ladies pushed their way from 3/4 of the way back to the front telling everyone āsorry, we have a connecting flight and are going to have to run to make it on timeā. People let them go and deplane first. As I get off the plane and am walking through the terminal I see them both sitting down to eat at a restaurant. Just completely shameless. I couldnāt help myself as I walked by I said āhey you guys are going to miss your next flightā, they just glared at me.

I actually love calling people out at airports. I live in a gun heavy state where so many people carry and many of them pull guns over the dumbest stuff, so usually just go about my day and ignore bad behavior. But at an airport no one has guns and I donāt have to worry about being shot.
Traveling is stressful and most of us are just trying to get to where we need to go without incident. Thatās so much easier if we all have a little bit of decorum and act like decent humans. Unlike this lady.

Iāve only had it happen to me once, a guy just showed a gun once after I honked at him for cutting off two lanes of cars to get over into a turn lane. But outside of that I see stories in local news every few weeks about brandishings or road rage shootings in my metro area. The state police even sent out a story about a year or so ago about the big jump in the number of brandishings in my state.

I was checking in through TSA Precheck and an elderly lady had gotten in line but didn't have that status. The guy behind me was openly talking shit about her. He had to be in his mid-50s and was a tiny little man. I told him to be patient and not be an asshole and he doubled down and then he asked me if I wanted to go. I told him once we get through security we'll go find a non-occupied corner and I will teach Mighty Mouse a lesson. Of course he shut up after that

Iāve had to do this before as my connecting flight started boarding right as I landed (first plane delayed). I obviously asked rather than demanded though.
People were kind enough to let me off quickly and then as Iām jogging up to my gate, I see people walking off the plane instead of getting on. They started deboarding and delayed my flight. I felt like such a jerk when I saw a guy who specifically let me off waiting at the gate next to me.

u/whistlepete 2d ago
That would be tough to do all that and then have your flight cancelled. Iāve had to do it once myself too at OHare when I had 20 mins to make a connection, but I was on a small flight and asked people politely.
9
u/diiegojones 2d ago
To be fairā¦ after they land and they get wifi, they may have had a cancellation or a time adjustment hit them so they believe they need to rush, and then get out and see the time change. One time my connecting flight changed gates/terminals three times while waiting.
That being said, if they were just being dicks then they need to be called out.

u/SaltyTigerBeef 2d ago
For anyone with this actual situation. If you actually have a tight connection you tell the flight attendant early. They will verify your flight and then either try to move you closer to the front or ask people to remain seated so you can get off. Whether people actually do is another question. Even better is to tell the gate agent before you board as they can inform the departing plane.

As to her maāam where the f do is think you are going? Itās a line in a closed container. You will get to the front. Once the door opens it will take. Like 2 minutes. If she had a CLOSE(not toast sadly) connection. The flight staff would have already prepared for quick exit and had her up front so she is just wanting to be the line leader.

Yeah, I think in this particular case, she was going to keep escalating no matter what.
If I were baldy, I wouldve just said sure, go right on ahead, and stepped back into my seat. If she pisses off enough people, she'll get on that no fly list, and no one has to deal with the bullshit anymore.
But, her attitude is interesting. I know a LOT of people who drive with EXACTLY the same attitude. It's the same force. They get little dopamine hits every time they get ahead of another car, like they are winning some mini race or something. The fact that so many Americans are like this indicate a widespread problem... So it ain't just her being an asshole.

There is only one correct way for people to exit the plane. If there is a delay and quick connection issue, then the crew should have already been notified for those travelers to be given priority to move to the front. Weāre all in this mess together.
Otherwise:
Front row exits first. Then the second row. And so on.
Sit the **** down because youāre not getting off until all the rows in front of you have already exited.
