[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband does this and it makes me crazy. I heard the term “gate lice” to describe it and it cracks me up. He’s always in the first boarding group too. I just let him line up and board early. I buy magazines and snacks and board when I feel like it. I swear he’s almost had an aneurysm over it a couple times, but we’ve been traveling together for 30 years and I’m just done with craziness.[/quote]
Another fan of “gate lice” here. My DH does this too, and I think it’s so silly, especially since we almost always fly United and are in boarding group 1. We’ve never had any trouble fitting any overhead bags, though I try to avoid them.

The other people who crack me up are the ones that don’t seem to understand how the baggage carousel works. Instead of standing in one spot and waiting for their bags to come around, they chase their bag around the carousel, bumping into people as they go. I get that this is also an anxiety thing, but the solution is to park yourself close to where the bags come out. [/quote]
