[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again -

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. [/quote]

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?[/quote]

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

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

If you need to shave 1.7 seconds off your time, other than in marathons, F1 racing, or NASCAR, you are living life unnecessarily stressed. We all end up at the same stop lights, waiting for the same exit in the car park, or in the same grocery check out lane. The difference is you’re more likely to have wrapped yourself around a light post driving like a maniac.

Cut time where it matters. If it mattered so much, you wouldn’t have time to post here. [/quote]

All great points - so many folks around here with their endless lane changing and looking for little angles are just causing themselves stress and making everyone less safe and the entire system less efficient.  There are very few situations where you can game the system and magically come out with some extra time and trying to push your out of a crowded metal tube maybe the best example of it.[/quote]
