Well, it looks like it's time for some good examples!

1) The person who asks if they can adjust your bag when putting theirs in the overhead bin instead of just smushing it

2) The parents who bring things for their kids/babies to do on the flight and actually watch them to make sure they are behaving

3) The people who only bring on the amount of carryon luggage they should, and put their purse/briefcase/small personal item under the seat in front of them.

I'm sure there's more... just thought that maybe instead of looking at all the negatives that people do, we could list a few positives. Not everyone is a self absorbed heathen.

(Although I don't agree about the not waiting thing to get off the plane thing. If you don't wait for people to get their things like the polite people we should all be, then folks never have a chance to get their things and get off the plane. Of course, if you have a tight connection or something I understand the urgency - but other than that I don't see pushing to be the first off the plane to be any better behavior than crowding the gate to be first on)
