The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

Yeah I kind of get this but at the same time, it's rare I have an issue finding a spot for my bag very near my seat. I've always been of the same attitude as OP

Great, if that works for you! I've seen plenty of people have to check their carry-ons. I'll gladly get on before you to ensure my overhead space.

So as luck would have it, yesterday this bit me haha

I was one of the first few forced to check my bag at the gate. Then, also, my bag was waiting for me at the kiosk when I got there which feels very rare. I feel like I usually have to wait at least 10 minutes any time I check a bag. So I guess I both did and didn't learn my lesson? Lol
