[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]

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]

First of all, a six row aircraft is not the same as a 36 row aircraft. 
And second, there's a difference between sitting in your seat or standing in your row because not everyone can fit into the aisle and not being ready to exit. I've been on hundreds of flights and this whole thing seems like a non-issue. People exit at a certain rhythm according to a combination of row and readiness. The flow of passengers slows to accommodate people as they slide out of their row, grab something out of the overhead. If, at row 6, someone isn't ready to exit, people will keep moving while he's packing up, and when he's ready the people coming up from behind will slow to let him go. [/quote]

I think you misunderstood. I was referring to a configuration of 3 seats/aisle /3 seats per row. Not an aircraft with 6 rows total.[/quote]
