Why stress yourself like that? 
Just wait in your seat a few minutes longer, you even have an internet connection now. And the best part is, you then don't have to walk together with that crowd, and then your baggage is probably also already on the belt when you're there to pick it up.
Just stay seated. You're going to wait for the luggage anyway.
Covid was a great time with clear roads
"wheelchair" it's a torture trolley.
We always used to just sit until everyone else was off the plane except crew of course, since it took that long to get my husband's power wheelchair from the baggage compartment to the gate anyway. Then I'd check they hadn't damaged it too much to drive, and lift him into it from the torture trolley. Or into the manual chair if they really had broken the electric one. Otherwise it was good for schlepping stuff.
God, these days we don't even try, it's gotten less and less accessible because airlines are exempt from the ADA.
Ah yes, collective decision making, so easy, especially with strangers.
that was beautiful
Could you please calm down?
Friendly reminder that if we all fly more than 6 times in our lives, our planet is fucked and cannot be recovered
Yep, another reason why I don't fly unless it is really needed (maybe once every 5 years, even less than that).
Being in Europe is an advantage as we can travel by train and don't have to go far away to feels like holidays (between France, Italy and Switzerland you have an extensive train network and tons of things do discover. This can easily be extended to other country)
I know, I know, it's a pipe dream. Doesn't stop me from fantisizing each time I'm on a plane.
So many problems in this world would be solved if only we could just get everyone all together to do <insert whatever>.
"I'm not even supposed to be here!"
I'll die on this hill: overhead compartments should have dividers and sections assigned to seats. This would solve a number of problems, including oversized bags (it must fit in the section assigned to you) and the problem you describe.
I'll probably catch shit for this, but I'm going to say it anyway: the normalization of casual air travel was a mistake. I think there is a time and place for it, but it isn't something that should be done lightly.
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.
