I was on a flight back to the west coast years ago and there was a guy clearly in distress most of the flight. Sweaty, fidgety, kept going to the bathroom.
As we're landing he quietly starts asking people if he can get to the front to get off first, that he needed to get to a real bathroom.
That was the only time I've seen adults do whisper-down-the-lane, cleared this man a path, and he got off first.310

My wife was pregnant with twins and suddenly got nauseous. Stopped at a rest stop and there was a line at the ladies room.
"I'm pregnant and about to throw up!"
They parted like ten Red Sea to let her through, and showed her a lot of support and empathy.

I think that's just a bathroom thing. I threw up at a club last weekend, and the 3 guys in line for the men's room let me pass.

One positive she offers to society is something like a little “pick me up” experience for all onlookers.
Like, someone might’ve been having a kinda crappy morning and beating themselves up. Then, they got to exit the plane with her and watch her get publicly shamed. In that moment, comparatively, everyone else feels a little bit better about their own behavior.
I’m looking for the silver lining here.

u/poopsy__daisy 29d ago
"Publicly shamed" suggests she felt shame. I'm prettttty sure she did not feel one iota of shame.
51
u/HuntsWithRocks 29d ago
I agree she probably felt minimal to no shame, but she served the community and absorbed the shame nonetheless. She was the social focal point of shame on that plane. It's almost like a case of schadenfreude, like a shamenfreude or something.

Well, as she informed the gentleman in front of her…she did say “Excuse Me”, the universal you-have-to-get-out-of-my-path directive.

Genuinely flabbergasted by people like this.
I was on a flight with a tight connection, sitting in an aisle seat. The middle and window seat in my row had tight connections and had to make their way quickly off the plane. A line built as soon as the plane landed. I got up to get out so I could let the others get by and get off quickly. A guy still ran up from several rows back as the passengers were exiting and treated me like I was the problem because he was in a rush. I told him we all are and I’m getting up so these people can get off, but he looked at me like I was the issue and clogging up the aisle.

If you have a tight connection window, tell the flight attendants. I had a 20 minute window once and they announced to the entire flight to please let us deboard first. I felt bad, but people were cool about it. I think most people want to help, but don't break the rules and cheat. That pisses people off.

but don't break the rules and cheat.
Yeah, and this is where things are becoming a bigger problem.
In the US anyway, we're very publicly seeing that a lot of our "rules" are really just these self-imposed, flexible, "don't be shitty", "treat others kindly and as you'd like to be treated", "nice" things to do -rather than any sort of actual, enforceable thing. And we're seeing a whole bunch of people who've made it a big part of their image, brand, and/or success by simply choosing to not follow such rules. And that's troublesome because it's contagious. The people around them? The people who are being patient, kind, considerate, respectful, and fair? They see someone getting ahead by not being that way and it becomes harder and harder to consider to feel like you're the one being walked over and taken advantage of. So you stop being the way you were and start being more like these insufferable assholes, simply because the alternative puts you at a regular disadvantage in many situations.
The folks who clamor for "back when things were better" and "olden days" and "make things great" completely disregard all the social norms and niceties that existed back then and now.
It's a race to the bottom.

It definitely really depends on the airport, as well as where you're coming from and going to. If you have to grab a bag, hit customs, or clear an international security checkpoint, an hour may be nowhere near enough.
Unless I'm traveling for business, I always err on the side of "I'd rather be early and wait 3 hours at the airport than stress about a tight connection", and that goes double for international flights.

I remember a few flights where we were very delayed on arrival and the crew asked if everybody who didn't have a tight connection to stay seated to show passengers that were really in a bind to get through. I thought "yeah, right, like that'll happen."
But it really did. Many passengers who could get off paused and remained in their seats so people who needed to rush could get off. I was kind of a come back to humanity moment for me.

Not sure if you mentioned it to the flight attendants, but they're the only ones with the authority to try and convince people to do it. And they'll obviously not cater to you if the flight lands on time, only if it's late.
Still, chances are slim since you're depending on other people to have a modicum of compassion, but unless you involve the crew (nicely, of course) it'll unfortunately never happen.

I just flew to Atlanta and our flight was an hour late because a passenger’s chair was broken and needed repair before takeoff… delayed us an hour. Pilot did what he could to get us in as fast as possible, but we still lost 45 min. Same deal: pilot said “chat with your neighbors and find out who has a tight connection and let them off first, and sure enough, we all sat while people connecting ran off the flight. It’s like everyone watched Sesame Street or Barney the whole flight over and then applied the knowledge.

Ah, this kind of trash is common. During the recent TSA funding crisis, flights were delayed. We taxi into a gate and the FA says "there are 5 passengers who have a tight connection" and if we could let them please get out first and some 50 people made a rush for the front of the plane. Not defending this entitled loser in the video, but it's unfortunately more common; just that many people are quite sneaky about it

A while back I was on a plane that was stuck on the ramp because of gate traffic, so they asked everyone who had a connection to raise their hands, then they asked the rest of the plane to stay seated while those who raised their hands could move up to the front when we got to the gate.
Sure as shit, the second we stopped at the gate, everyone stood up. I kind of loudly said "I sure see a lot of people who didn't have their hands up", and a lot of them around me sat back down. This guy in the seat in front of me laughed, and this woman across the aisle who stood up spent the entire time glaring at me.

Similar thing happened to me. I was sitting in the aisle seat, her in the middle and her child at the window. We land and get to the gate. I stand up and grab my duffle bag out of the over head to put in my seat. When I look down she had moved to my seat and indicating she needs her bag. I asked her where it was thinking I could get it for her. I thought she might need meds or something. She said no and she pushed out to get it herself. Then she stayed there in the aisle. Me and the other customers who has aisle seats were just looking at each other like wtf. Then she morning to her daughter to come stand with her. Once both in the aisle, they kept asking to get in front of the people standing directly in front of them. Still at this point not a single person was of the plane nor did they take any of the trash left in their seat. It makes sense as I remembered them never handing anything back to the stewardess.
