Its a tricky game to play.

For you, if you know it will take you 3s to go from sitting comfortably to walking down the aisle, then fine - you can wait.

Most people need time to get organised. They're also unable to focus on getting organised unless they're standing up because that is one step in getting organised. They have no ability to prioritise the steps which are presently actionable.

This is the same line of thinking as, "if everyone drove like me, there'd be no traffic," (a phrase used exclusively by terrible drivers).

Oh nice. I've heard of a fundamental attribution error before but didnt realise it was this.

You commonly see it written as "we judge ourselves by our inte twins but others by their actions".

Using the examples in that wikipedia page, if we are late for work it doesn't matter because we intended to be on time. If others are late it indicates a lack of planning or dedication.

If clones all have the same citizenship, can only one of them be arrested for the crime.

If that happens, you just wait in your row until the plane is empty.

It shouldn't at all be a surprise, since Covid, reports of "air rage incidents" spiked about 1000% and then remained elevated ever since.

People are no longer able to be in enclosed spaces with each other because everyone is paranoid of everyone else, mental problems don't get treatment, they get communities of supporters, and every American has a custom algorithm that feeds them specific, atomizing perspectives of a world we once all shared. Even basic decency is out the window because we are abandoning any sense of community with our fellow citizens.

I just had this yesterday! Was literally standing up out of my aisle seat and some boomer lady literally pushed me aside to get off the plane. I'm hoping she had another plane to catch, but goddamn you were one row away, we're talking maybe 30 more seconds here.

of course. bottled water salesman.

No. It turns out driving and grabbing a bag while walking are actually very different activities.

How about you accelerate yours a bit

I can’t remember a time in the last 30 years where things were different. People have always sucked.

The guys in front of and behind you are thinking the exactly same thing.

Or knives.

just say you have a connection?

Just stop flying altogether, we're in the middle of a worsening climate crisis. We can't afford ourselves to fly anymore.

That's why I fly business only. If I can't afford for business class I don't fly, simple as that.

Funnily enough, TikTok and the like are probably a huge part of having not much patience, I believe.

Consuming non-stop content that is only a few seconds long can't be good in the long run. (And yes I sound like an old man yelling at the cloud...)

If everyone drove like me there'd be no traffic. As I only pick up the car like once a month.

Listen, I've had to lift and carry 6ft2 elderly into and out of their seat and then the airplane specific wheelchair needed to have clearance to board the plane. It takes a minute. Not everybody is you, some people need help and others need a little extra time. Calm the fuck down.

I feel like I'm going crazy here with so many comments insisting the fastest way is to wait for everyone in front of them to go first. I could hardly engineer a slower way to go about it
