"he was first in line at baggage claim, but sadly his bag showed up last"

The real reason is your legs are uncomfortable

This meme is brought to you by an entitled dumbass

As a 6’ person, standing up is the only way to immediately relieve the excruciating pain in my legs from being jammed into a tiny seat for 3 hours. I’ll let everyone in front of me go first, and help people get their bag out. Me standing doesn’t harm you at all. Deal with it.

Edit: quit telling me how it doesn’t hurt your legs or some shit. We are not the same

I'm just standing up because I want to stretch my legs.

You laugh, but shaving off 1.7 seconds is enough for a dedicated speedrunner to set up a new world record of Getting the fuck off the fucking airplane in the category full capacity, window seat

As all the people saying they stand up to stretch their legs imply- we shouldn't be mad at the jerks who get up to get off the plane first, we should be mad at the airlines for packing planes so full that there's not a reasonable amount of leg room unless you pay a premium for it.

I have noticed that people in first class are often still sitting there when I leave in coach. And I don't jump up to be the first off the plane.

To be fair to some, I'd wanna stand just out of the fact that sitting on airplanes can be uncomfortable especially for long flights.

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.

1.7 seconds seems generous imo. In my experience you gain nothing as despite standing up you still end up waiting for the rows ahead of you to leave first. Maybe that's a UK thing as we love to queue.

They say "Please remain seated until the aircraft has come to a complete stop" for a reason.

I just get off last... So much less stressful.

As usual in posts about this, I'll ask - what's the huge fuss with people caring about this? Who is it hurting? Regardless of any impatience they may or may not have, it's just nice to stand up after sitting for several hours. And if they're ready to go, that's less time for the people behind them to wait.

I feel personally attacked

Not when he has to wait for baggage claim

I do this for a couple reasons.

1. I want to stand up after sitting for so long. Airplane seats suck ass.
2. If you don't stand in the aisle there are an unbelievable number of people with no social awareness who won't wait for the rows in front of them to empty out before exiting the plane.

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

I stand up because staying seated for 2 hours is uncomfortable (and probably unhealthy), fight me.

I stay seated until i can get up and leave without queueing. Usually I walk past the whole plane while going to the exit because they are lost, on the phone, waiting for friend, being retarded.

People standing up is fine for me. What I hate is when these people move into the aisle before the plane has stopped moving and then crowd the aisle in such a way that deplaning in a controlled and orderly fashion is no longer possible.

I've done this once or twice. Sometimes nature calls at very inconvenient times.
