There are also some phobias involved here. It's very common to be afraid of close and tiny spaces and heights, even literally afraid to fly, which is translated to be inside something that flies. A lot of people travels for business and have asshole bosses, so I can't blame them for being in the rush to get some place in time.

If it's only a 2-hour flight, there's probably a better way to get there.

I'm convinced the only people that complain about this shit are tiny little 4'2" assholes who cant fathom that normal sized humans being crammed into a tuna can of a seat isnt just uncomfortable, its downright painful... So painful in fact that I will literally jump out of my seat the microsecond I am able to, just to end the constant incurring pain.

I'm above average height, and after I get off a plane I have to go take a big dose of tylenol and spend half the day laying in bed for the pain and misery to go away.

and thats with paying extra for aisle seat so I can stretch oneleg out every 30 minutes when no ones walking by.

Almost like speedrunning cabinet near bed, which speedrunners hit with legs, so they can skip waking-up animation.

As soon as it lands? Wouldn't you get flung forward by the deceleration?

I'm going to keep standing anyway. Have fun sitting there.

Also rushing onto the elevator or train before people can get off can save 0 seconds on your commute to work. $lifehack
