Exactly. I have no qualms about unplugging once the door has closed and I always do. But boarding had just started and I had just sat down (2 GS's and I was first on from G1). We clearly had a good 25+ minutes until the door closed, and she was on me immediately. I understand the rationale, but this seemed to be yet another incident of UA FAs making up their own rules just for sport. It's not like it was obvious either, cord was tucked in by the armrest and I was holding the phone; 1A was as of yet unoccupied. We're talking a standard 1"x1" iPhone charger.
