[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When it is my turn, [b]I take my turn[/b] as quickly and efficiently as possible. I have a hidden disability, but it is still[b] my turn [/b]and I am using it appropriately. You can be a jerk all you want, but I’m going [b]to take my turn,[/b] and it’s going to take as long as it takes.

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]

I have to scoot to the end of the row and swivel my legs out before standing, check my balance for one moment, reach back to retrieve my personal item from the seat where I’ve scooted it behind me. It doesn’t take long, and I would venture to say I’m still moving faster than the vast majority of people, as I never have overhead baggage. But what may look to you like laziness is actually just me moving at maximum speed and efficiency. I see your glare, though. Good thing I’m in so much overwhelming pain that you are the least of my worries.[/quote]

Sorry about your hidden disability but why don’t you wait for everyone in the aisle to move forward before standing up? I used to do that when I traveled with a young child who sat by the window. [/quote]

DP. What kind of horrible person would ask a disabled person to deboard last so they don’t have to wait 5 seconds while she checks her balance?  My goodness what is wrong with people?? [/quote]

Have you never been on a plane before? During boarding, people who need extra assistance always board first. And during the landing announcement, they say that if you need assistance deplaning you should wait and they'll be happy to assist you. It's always been like this. [/quote]
