I enjoy the part where I get someone’s ass in my face for 5 minutes while everyone waits for the jet bridge and the front of the plane to disembark.

Having your carry on in order and knowing where your bag is located is the key to actually getting yourself off the plane quickly. I personally find putting my overhead bag in the bin on the opposite side of the aisle makes it dead simple to grab and go as then it takes no additional time vs me just getting up and going. Reach, pull, walk.

Used to fly like 100+ times a year for many years before covid. Had a lot of time to think about how to get off a plane quickly and efficiently.

    I enjoy when the guy across the aisle puts his shit in my overhead bin and then sticks his dick in my face for 5 minutes to get it. But heaven forbid I stand up because I have been in constant pain for hours.

    I mean, that sucks that sitting gives you incredible pain. It surprises me to see how many people have problems sitting for a long time. I get the seats aren’t the most comfortable. I like to try to straighten my legs out under where the smaller carry on goes because I do get discomfort on long flights if I do just sit there and don’t get up at some point, especially on long flights. I don’t get the comment about “your bin” like bins are assigned or something. Glad I’m not one of those pricks putting their dick in your face for 5 minutes though. Definitely a dick move.

    Imagine being a bit taller so you can’t stretch your legs out. Imagine your knees jammed against the hard plastic seat frame for that entire flight. Imagine the seat being much lower than your knees so all your weight is on your back instead of spread on the seat. Imagine that effing headrest digging into your back the entire flight.

    And of course, imagine the tray able can’t be opened flat because your knees are there. Imagine seats narrower that your shoulders, hips, rib cage. Imagine the seat back screen that’s so far below eye level that sometimes it’s easier to just watch whatever the people in front of you are watching

    I used the phrase "my bin" instead of "the bin directly above me" for brevity. My apologies. And you are one of those pricks, you just don't know it.

    Well no but ok. Whatever makes you feel happy. Almost every time I let the row across from me go first unless I need to get moving and in the event I don’t, I’m not a huge beast of a person where I have to invade everyone’s space. I’m also not part t-rex with baby arms.

    *almost every time

    I've flown as much as you. If somebody is sitting and you're reaching into their overhead bin you're putting your dick in their face, if not all the time at least occasionally. I've had a couple of you "expert flyers" do this to me. Your ignorance of the implications of your actions do not mean they don't happen. You can't reach over a seat 100+ times a year and do it perfectly every time.
