Also you might want to correct your unwillingness to book flights with enough connection time in between. Accept responsibility for missing your connection, the universe does not revolve around you.
I've done the queueing-theoretic analysis. If you want me to write it up formally, you'll have to pay for my time.
I see no reason to spend extra hours in airports in order that other people can be rude and block the aisle when there are 150 people waiting (and at least 50 of them ready) behind them to get off the plane.

On my planet, being "courteous" does not involve being nice to one person in front of you who wants to slowly get suitcases down from the overhead and rude to 50 people standing in the aisle behind you who want to exit the plane. Perhaps on Planet Solipsist, people you don't see don't exist so you aren't being rude to the people waiting impatiently behind you.

Uh, yeah. 125 people conforming to social norms, thus avoiding arguments and fights, trumps your lack of ability to plan a trip.
Speaking of "social norms", how about learning how to quote?
Claiming that what you want is a "social norm" isn't a very convincing argument when the topic is what
should be done.
If your connection is tight due to factors Beyond your control, I'm sympathetic, but guess what? There's probably a bunch of people in The same boat.....so the same norm applies...
That is, you think a whole lot of people should miss tight connections so a few rude people can get their bags down slowly and exit first?
