[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It drives me bananas when people on airplanes insist on deboarding airplanes by row. All 6 people in row 3 have to depart before some Uber Polite Person in row 4 will move. I'm not against being polite and don't advocate for a mad dash pushing row 3 folks of the way. I mean waiting for a slowpoke in row 3 who hasn't even stood up yet to make his way finally to the aisle, meantime, the Uber Polite Person has held up 5 people behind him who were ready to hoof it off the plane and make a connection.

I never say anything because it seems so pushy. But seriously, Uber Polite Person, you are not actually being polite to the people behind you![/quote]

It seems pushy because it is. You don’t get to just “hoof it off the plane”Logistically not everyone can fit standing in the aisle waiting to deboard from a full plane so many people are inevitably going to be waiting in their seat and not standing up until it’s time for their row to exit and some people inevitably take a bit longer than others to do so. Letting those sitting in the rows in front of you have the chance to stand and exit first is just basic accepted airplane etiquette and is not being Uber polite. It’s why seats towards the front of the plane are more desirable and tend to be more expensive.

You are completely in the wrong here. If you want to deboard quickly either pay for seating near the front or if truly pressed to make a connection and not just impatient you can try to request that the flight attendants make an announcement requesting passengers allow you to exit first although this seems to be increasingly rare) [/quote]
