At the risk of sounding boomer despite not being boomer, have others noted a decline in basic decency with deplaning? In the past maybe two years or so even I've never seen so many people from the back of the plane rush ahead into the aisle blocking people in front of them from getting out and disrupting the hell out of the standard row by row front to back organized way to get off a plane. Last. Flight I took when I got into the tunnel some lunatic behind me tried to trample me, stepped on the heel of my shoe and ripped my shoe off. Not even a "sorry" Modern air travel is the epitome of enshitification.

I just had this yesterday! Was literally standing up out of my aisle seat and some boomer lady literally pushed me aside to get off the plane. I'm hoping she had another plane to catch, but goddamn you were one row away, we're talking maybe 30 more seconds here.

It shouldn't at all be a surprise, since Covid, reports of "air rage incidents" spiked about 1000% and then remained elevated ever since.

People are no longer able to be in enclosed spaces with each other because everyone is paranoid of everyone else, mental problems don't get treatment, they get communities of supporters, and every American has a custom algorithm that feeds them specific, atomizing perspectives of a world we once all shared. Even basic decency is out the window because we are abandoning any sense of community with our fellow citizens.

This is the same line of thinking as, "if everyone drove like me, there'd be no traffic," (a phrase used exclusively by terrible drivers).

If everyone drove like me there'd be no traffic. As I only pick up the car like once a month.

I use that phrase all the time and I'm not a terrible driver. In fact, I rarely drive at all. I work from home and live in a walkable area. So yeah, literally if everyone drove like me, there would be less traffic.

No. It turns out driving and grabbing a bag while walking are actually very different activities.

You aren't in traffic. You are traffic.

I'm often the last to leave the plane. By the time I reach the passport control/baggage claim areas I'm barely having to wait. I've never really understood how other adults are always in such a damn rush.

My legs are long af, and I’m cramped in that tiny fucking seat. Also, I probably have to pee.

Could be some folks might have to catch a second plane and the timing is really close. Unfamiliar airport layout sometimes puts your connecting flight on the opposite side of the airport and it departs in 10 mins. I would be in a hurry to get off and reach my connecting flight in time.

This is just one scenario. Each person is different. Some people have travel anxiety etc.

Pretty easy to understand once you open up to the idea that you don’t know each person’s day, schedule or disorder 🤷‍♂️

If you don't have checked baggage on a domestic flight then being in the back of the plane just means you're waiting longer to get on with your day

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.

Don’t do that. Don’t be the dickhead who stands and blocks everyone. You’re not going to move faster, but you will inconvenience everyone around you. This is stupid. Just be a normal human and wait your turn patiently so others can get their things. The door out is people-sized, and you’ll not extrude others by a few seconds, so sit the fuck down. It’s not about you. It looks like OP is one of these dickheads, standing in the aisle and blaming others for the congestion.

It’s not about moving off faster than everyone else, because that’s not how this works. Just fucking sit and wait like an adult. It’s not ‘get off the plane’, because you can’t. It’s ‘sit the fuck down’ and stop making it about you.

e: look at all those people seated in the forward rows, and OP standing in the aisle bunched against the first man in frame. All those seated people will have to wait to access their overheads until OP barges by, but it’s the others standing ahead of OP in the aisle who are the problem. 🙄

I honestly think most people are twice as slow as me, and it adds up so fast. I am always so ready to get off the plane but it seems like most people aren't for some reason? They must enjoy the cramped farttube experience much more than I do. I've often just spent hours with some asshole rubbing up against my elbow and I'm ready to gtfo.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’m the exact opposite. I get annoyed when everyone springs up at the same time, as if rushing into the aisle will get them off the plane faster. Last time I flew, I had an aisle seat. I stayed seated while everyone lined up in the aisle. Meanwhile, the asshole in the window seat sprang up, and looked at me expectantly.

I had to be like “uhh bro the aisle is already full. Where do you expect me to go? Sit your happy ass back down and wait for the line to start moving.” Even worse, I knew his bag was behind us, so he’d have to push everyone in the aisle backwards in order to get to it. No, you can fucking sit there and wait your turn, like you were taught in kindergarten.

During covid it was so good. They actually called the lines which can leave the plane so we all left in an orderly fashion.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

There’s no point in standing around like a lemon because you’re still going to have to wait for all the people up front who couldn’t get up and pull their bag out of the overheads yet because of a all the people standing in the aisle.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 day ago

I like to stretch my legs a bit. Makes sense to me.
