And there's no need for you to go barreling by people in order to get off before them.

EDIT: If there is a line, wait, if there is a gap of at least 4 rows go ahead and get your things.
There could very easily never be a gap in the line. Then the person who you think shouldn't be able to get up and retrieve their bags has to wait till everyone else has deplaned before they can move. Sorry, doesn't make sense.

As others have stated, it's common courtesy to deplane by rows. If you don't like it, make sure you have a seat up front. If you ever tried to get me to stop retrieving my bags so you could go first, I would look at you like you were crazy and then carry on with my business. We're all just trying to get off the plane and you're no more important than the rest of us.
