As if being first off would matter...
What is most amuzing to me is those folks who jump up from thier seat not even waiting for the "ding". They grab their bags, stand in the ailse for 10 minutes (while the gate jockey is still trying to learn how to drive a ramp) with all of their anxiety, ready to be ther first to disembark the plane, with sweat pouring down their cheeks, pushing little old ladies out of their way, nervously pitching about looking for a seam in the line to move up a row to get closer to the exit; only to find these very same people standing in line at the nearest train to take them from their concourse to the main terminal or another concourse. Ha! All of that extra energy wasted on having to wait on a train... I have to laugh every time! I have learned to walk even slower, so that when I approach the train, I can simply walk in front of them with no effort as they are so worn out from their stress of just getting to the train....what fun it is to fly!
