And by pet peeve, I mean minor thing that is annyoing for no other reason than being stupid and annoying - not something big picture such as "how hard it is to redeem miles in J on XX carrier," or whatever, like that...

The only reason I ask, is that I just can't figure out why people insist on crowding around the boarding area when they know they aren't going to be boarding for quite a while. The other day I was awaiting to board a DL flight ATL-CPH when they come on and announce boarding in Zone 1. I was Zone 2 and I just then began to slowly gather my things and head over to the boarding area. However, as soon as they announce that boarding will begin, hoards of people rush to the gate. WHY?!?!?! You are in Zone 8, skippy. You aren't getting on the plane for another 15 minutes. Just sit down and finish your Sabarro.

I just can't figure out the fascination with rushing into the immediate boarding area when you're zone, or boarding group, or whatever, its still 15 minutes away.

Thank you, rant over.
