If there is one thing I cannot stand are the scumbags who rush off the aircraft as soon as the seatbelt light goes off. I get it, you may be running late to a connection. In most cases, the flight attendants will make an announcement for those with tight connections. I completely understand the stress and urgency in such situations. That is fine.

But those who push their way towards the front without any regard for others annoy me. It’s a reminder of the importance of consideration for others, a value we all hold dear. They bump into the person trying to get their luggage from the overhead bin. They squeeze through the family, trying to get their belongings together. The worst is when they can’t wait for the passenger requiring additional assistance, such as an aisle chair or time to get off the aircraft.

So what do you call these people?

There are Gate Lice for those who don’t board with their designated boarding group. But what do you call these inconsiderate scumbags. There needs to be a terminology for this special group of people.

What is the deplaning etiquette?

It’s simple: Allow the row before you to go first unless they allow you to go because they need more time. Another deplaning etiquette, which I believe is courteous and respectful, is to help those struggling to get their carry-on out of the overhead bin.

Deplaning etiquette will help make the process less stressful and more efficient, I believe. But like anything we do in life, just having common courtesy goes a long way.

Do people with no deplaning etiquette bother you, too?
