People who stand up immediately when the plane lands and the seatbelt sign is off

Ok this gave me a chuckle:

But seriously, do you do this? And if so, why? I'm genuinely asking! It happens on every flight, there must be a reason!

I am that person. Or rather, I am a window seat person and get annoyed when the people in the other two seats sit and wait until the last second to get their sh!t together.

We've all been sitting for way too long. I'd rather stand and wait than sit and wait, because my legs were cramped in that too-tight space for way too long.

When I travel by plane, I can't wait to get the hell off of the plane. I bring the smallest carry on possible so I can keep it on me. As soon as those doors open, I'm out of there. Claustrophobia is no joke!

Human nature.

What I like is when the crew prioritizes the people with correspondences they might miss if they don't get off first.
This has saves us several times on international flights, what with wrangling small kids and luggage.

Otherwise we stay put and let the impatient ones rush off.

Avoiding passport control queues in some airports. Dulles, for ex, if you're not a citizen. You don't want to be the last of several flights to arrive and find several hundred people in front of you.

But again, with small kids, we usually end up somewhere in the middle even if we rush. Sometimes it takes more than an hour.

I usually wait. But I also don’t rush to board, co sidering everyone has assigned seating.

I think they’re the same people who push the close door button between every floor on an elevator - it’s going to do it automatically in 4 seconds.

Agreed, but if you are in row 25 you have to wait for rows 1-24 to empty anaway. So why the rush to stand up?

Because at least you can stretch your legs out. Standing is way, way more comfortable than sitting.

But let’s be honest. Most people aren’t standing just to stretch their legs. If they’re on the aisle seat, they’re rushing to get their bag, or leaning into the aisle /middle people.

This is one of those things that reminds me that Kindergarten doesn’t teach people how to wait nicely in a line like it proposes to.

A lot of people myself included have chronic pain which is aggravated by extended sitting.

They're doing both. To me, it's far more preferable to stand and get ready and wait, than sit and not get ready and wait. It's comfortable, it shaves 1.7 seconds off your time. It's better in every way, even if slightly.

I feel like the people who just sit there and do nothing are the same people who go slow in the left lane. Or they're slow walkers. You either get it, or you don't.

I stand to let the jerks in the row behind me know that I'm getting off first. I hate it when they jump up and try to move down the aisle ahead of those seated in front of them.

[Anonymous]

I stand to stretch my legs, or to allow those seated next to me to move over into the aisle to stretch their legs.

But yes, it's also nice when everyone has already collected their belongings and is ready to move out once the line allows. Of course this doesn't need to happen immediately, but within a few minutes is fine.

I think if people have their stuff they should be able to hightail it off the plane, regardless of row.
