like at LGA or DCA when you hear a US GA announce 'now boarding zone 1', then a few seconds later you hear another announce 'now boarding rows 15 and higher', then a few seconds later you hear a third GA announce for a shuttle flight 'now boarding all passengers, all rows'
sometimes even the most frequent of travelers have to resort to being gate lice in order to ensure overhead bin space. it can be chaos.
