No, the problem is not pulling into an empty gate. I get leaving it empty if a plane scheduled to land a few minutes after we landed is supposed to go there, no excuse when that gate remains empty for a while.

And yes, I have a problem waiting on the plane on the ground longer, especially if I have to use the restroom.
