You’re not all that important. If you were, you would have had a first class ticket.[/quote]

What does this even mean? If you're standing in the aisle gathering your things, yes, people should wait and they do. No one will shove you aside. If you're still sitting in your seat or you're standing in the row gathering your things, then people who are standing and ready to move forward will move forward. Are you saying you're going to sit in your seat for as long as you want shouting "It's my turn! I'm taking my turn!"? Because that would be as insane as someone mowing you down while you're standing in the aisle. [/quote]

This isn’t that hard. Imagine you’re on a smaller 3 by 3 aircraft. Seats 5 c and 5 d are standing in the aisles waiting to deplane while seats 5a-b and e-f are still sitting in their seats waiting to exit since there isn’t much space. Any civilized person in rows 6 and beyond would wait to allow 5A-B and E-F to stand and exit once 5C and 5D have moved along but then you have barbarians further back in the plane like op who are pissed that 6C and 6D are being “overly courteous” and think because they are already standing in the aisle they are entitled to push their way through, basically just creating a free for all.[/quote]

Exactly this. The cases where someone is truly being egregiously slow are very rare. I travel a lot, and on the few occasions where someone truly was still “packing up” and not ready to go, they have waved the people behind them on through. But, yes, if you’re in the window seat, it’s going to take you a moment to slide across, stand up and get your carry on out of the overhead. I’ve been in that situation, and basically gotten trapped in my seat by the people behind me who had been sitting in aisle seats charging down the aisle. Yes, sometimes it seems like it’s taking forever for a plane to deboard when you’re sitting in the back, but that’s just how long it takes. [/quote]

Completely agree ... Can't stand it when I'm in the window seat and all the aisle chargers from behind are clogging up the aisle just to move up a row or two ... and boxing me in.  I feel like these people were raised by wolves.

As George Costanza said: "We live in a SOCIETY, people!" [/quote]

Several posters mentioned it only takes 10 minutes to deplane, so what’s the big deal?[/quote]

It's the equivalent of cutting in line ... Even in a fast food restaurant, it's annoying. [/quote]
