| Airline passenger with 'zero patience' films himself charging down the aisle to disembark plane before fellow fliers have even unbuckled... sparking huge debate about airplane etiquette |
| 2023-09-17 |
| [MAIL] An Instagram user has sparked a furious debate about airline etiqette after speedily unboarding a plane from the back row. In the viral video titled: 'POV: you have 0 patience when getting off planes,' a passenger sat near the back of the plane rushes to get off. As soon as the seatbelt sign rings, the passenger grabs his backpack and takes off down the aisle, moving swiftly past passengers getting their luggage from the overhead bins. While the majority of passengers have just unbuckled their seatbelts and are waiting patiently to exit, the man mutters to himself - seemingly pleased that he had managed to disembark so quickly. |

| #10 What is the problem, did he impeded someone? Seems the the only dicks are the jealous commenters here that say they blocked the aisle on propose. |

| #9 Yeah, I'm with the runner on this one. It takes way too long to get off the plane, and a lot of that has to do with people who don't even stand up and start retrieving their bags from the overhead until everyone in front of them has already left the plane. If you're not in a hurry that's fine, just don't pretend it's OK to make that decision for every other passenger. |

| #8 I'd have some sympathy if he had a connecting flight and was running late. But apparently that was not the case here. He's just an entitled dickhead. |

| #7 Ref #2: About the same size here. A compression fracture on dark DZ tree landing years ago reduced my inseam to 33. If you exit the door and see the turn-in point fading in the distance, you know you're in for a rough one. While not always available, later in my career 'low porosity' (LOPO) chutes became my friend. |

| #4 I don't see the point in being in a hurry to disembark (except maybe in case of a fire or some such onboard.) Only to have to wait forever at the luggage carousel to retrieve my luggage. |

| #2 Beso, I was a frequent flyer for more than 15 years and did the same as you. It helps to be 6'3" and 225 but I certainly could clog the aisle. |

| #1 Years ago when I was a frequent flier, I used to enjoy 'blocking' airplane aisle runners. Grab a bag from the overhead or assist another passenger with theirs. Plant your feet, ignore their selfish comments, and let the seats to the front empty in sequence. |
