Otoh, I don't see any harm in people who want to stand up. Pulling bags down? Yeah, that's not helpful. And for crying out loud, if you're worried that letting a passenger out in front of you will impede you, step FORWARD a few inches and let the guy out behind you. Keeping him scrunched down and lecturing him about your rules of getting off airplanes is just a d--- move.
(I assume you didn't mean me in terms of "if you're worried that letting a passenger out..." because I'm a person who lets everyone go first... Even though I'm an anti-springer-upper.)
