As people in the US can not take responsibility for their own lives, someone else has to be accountable.
ORD-MEX in MX -- a couple of years ago, we pushed back and started to taxi with people still putting their stuff in the overhead bins. PA announcement -- let's hurry up that we are close to taking off (spanish and english)
IST-JFK in TK -- We stopped in a taxiway on our way to the gate for a couple of minutes. People got up and started to get ready to leave the plane as we were slowly taxing to the gate. No PA announcements at all.
US carriers -- ask permission before standing up; don't stare; don't walk; don't talk; don't....
Cheers...,
