Impatient passengers trying to get off the plane

Impatient passengers

I sometimes wonder what the flight crew would do if all the passengers stayed in their seats and didn’t make a rush for the door after the aircraft had landed and taxied to the terminal. They would probably be very shocked I would ima



What is it with air travel and why are people so impatient when it is time to get of the plane? It’s almost as if their life depends on how quickly they can get into the terminal building.

03-1-2008Eddie - you really do have an extraordinarily large chip on your shoulder don't you!! I am a Northerner and I can assure you that the whole 'Brit Abroad' culture embarrasses and annoys me too. However, I have seen drunken, obnoxious behaviour displayed abroad by those from the North A...moreGreen_Eyez
25-10-2007Unfortunatley the problem lies with the CLAMOURING SOUTHERN MORONS with their ME ME ME attitude. Beaky-nosed barge a*ses!Northern Monkey
27-2-2007If you had to endure hanging around at the railway station for another hour because you'd missed the previous train, you'd want to get off in a hurry too. And what the hell is so great about sitting on a plane, anyway? There is no glamour in it. It's unhealthy because they recycl...moreliteswap
18-11-2006I HATE people that switch their phones on before leaving the plane. What do they think has happened while they have been in the air? Are they so important that they can't wait 5 minutes until they leave the plane?kilfinan
17-10-2006Just accept that Northeners are skanks. All the Brits we cringe about on holiday are fat northern pie eating apes that sit in "English" pubs commenting on how the pie and chips "aint as good as back ome". This breed of human sub species thinks that by talking louder and slo...moreEddie
07-10-2006By the way, have you never heard that: England starts south of the Watford gap; CIVILISATION starts north of it!pat
07-10-2006I see that flying is bringing out the best in humanity again, North versus South, Good versus Evil etc. I have flown more miles than I care to think about, near East, Far East, Northern hemesphere, Southern hemesphere you name it and I've probably been there over the last fifty years or so, and...morepat
27-9-2006Us southerners are normally in a hurry to get off the plane to escape the fat nothern chavs who think a plane is similar to a zoo and proceed to let their kids act like monkeys whilst they tuck into the coke and peanuts. I will never fly from a city airport again to escape these sub human specie...moreWoo
15-9-2006I find the toffee nosed SOUTHERNERS are the worsed offenders. Talk about being arrogant,, even the air crew had to tell them MORE THAN ONCE to wait their turn, and sit down, and that's BEFORE they had called boarding.Joe
15-9-2006I couldn't agree more, it's as if they think the lugguage is put on the carousel in the same order as people get off the plane...that's another thing, people blocking the carousels, so you can't get near them when your lugguage appears. I recently landed at an airport coming back fro...moreChris
14-9-2006Yeah Woo...I was thinking of the popular 60's/70's cartoon series 'Catch the Pidgeon' In this programme there were lots of ideas which would do nicely for these vermin...I would love to see people who jump up on planes at touchdown be instantly ejected out the top of the plane....or...moreMark
14-9-2006I find it's normally fat notherners or Chavs that have the whole rush to the plane syndrome. I flew out of Manchester once and I swear it was like a third world country. Most people acted like they hadn't even seen a plane before.woo
