What's the hurry to stand up, especially if there's a bus that waits for everyone or if needs to wait the luggage

Just enjoy seating down

I get pissed when they turn off the entertainment system immediately after landing

Hour for hour, there’s no better way to warm the planet than to fly in a plane.

you should write a book

exactly my point

Alright. *slaps thighs* Time to stand right in front of my seat for 10 minutes hunched over the seat before me, lest my co-passengers misinterpret my staying seated as an unwillingness to get out of here ASAP.

I need to fucking stretch my legs.

If the plane is late and someone has connections or someone has kids, I think they should get priority.

But it turns chaotic everytime because most people have no patience.

YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE PLANE FOR 4 HOURS WHAT IS 5 MINUTES??

I live in the UK - domestic flights haven't featured significantly in my life. As in my comment doesn't have them as context.

The only domestic flight I remember taking was flying from Edinburgh to Cardiff and it took almost as long as taking the train (whilst being significantly more hassle).

I was speaking more generally, not about flights specifically, and about how common it is.

Adults throughout my life seem to constantly be rushing to everything. As a proper big boy adult now myself (I'm almost 40) I still don't get how it's so pervasive. My comment was more about how common it is, not about reasons people might be in a rush. I can think of plenty of reasons any given person might be in a rush on a given day but so many people seem to be in a perpetual mad dash. That bit boggles my mind.

I've flown enough to not check in luggage. Not gonna wait for that bullshit. No one needs more than what can go in the overhead bin. Only ever pack for a week, if you're gone for longer than that, find somewhere to wash, anything more is a waste of space, time, and money.

Staying out of the way of all the people rushing is somehow the problem?

Explain.

But what if I shit myself three times?

Contact your doctor, or a doctor at the place you're visiting.

One other thing is that the people should allow other people who are already ready to walk out pass them before standing and taking out their carry-on. Most times I've seen all passanger wait for each row taking out their carry-ons sequentially instead of 10 taking them out at the same time. If everyone would be me with a carry-on it'd take around 5-10m since I only take the aisle when I'm ready to leave and/or there is another person taking out their carry-on in front or behind me.

It's remarkable how many people in these comments detest people wanting to have a chill time when flying.

We're not slowing the rest of you down - we're getting out of your way. There's so many moving parts that an extra five minutes are so far down the list of things that I'm just not fussed.

Trains are a bit different - there rushing can make all the difference. The limiting factors there are usually how quickly one can get between platforms!

May the odds ever be in your favour!

Seconded why stress out over missed flights - if it's the airlines fault, they will also rebook you & get you a hotel if needed. Happens...

Except the 1st one of you would stop and convince the 2nd one of you to suck his dick before the 200 become 1 again after deboarding, thereby delaying all the other 198 too, by about 30 more seconds.

Shortly after pandemic I was on a couple of flights where they would make people leave in 5 row groups starting from the front. I saw one or two flights where people actually understood the instructions and everyone just stayed seated waiting for their turn. Then 5 rows would get up and leave. Then the next 5. It went very smoothly. I didn't time it but it looked faster than the usual way.

as if rushing into the aisle will get them off the plane faster

No, as if it's more comfortable to stand after sitting for hours on end. Also, being ready to move with your bag would undoubtedly help.
