Considering i fly so much, i dont actually like being in the air, especially over the Atlantic. But being on there and settled in my seat makes me feel better.

Hence me being, what you lot call, "Gate lice".
As long as you are not cutting in or pushing and shoving when you join the queue is no one else's business. There are more benefits to being a "gate louse" than casually sitting around and finding no remaining space in the overhead or taking longer to get seated because those ahead of you are still sorting themselves out. I like getting to the airport and on the plane early too. Flying doesn't stress me. Being late and rushing does.

Which, for those in First, will subconsciously translate to “Unclean! Unclean!”

I suspect the lady doth protest too much... as one says and the massive insecurities were shared with the individual clutching the J ticket, that thought himself ‘classier’ than the pompous couple in 1st class. The physical descriptors and derogatory comments on appearance are just as rude in my opinion.

It’s PHX and it’s not called Snottsdale, the new money, but not quite enough money to make it to LA, San Francisco or New York capital of the USA for nothing. The place is infamous for such displays. I’m lucky I don’t have Nieman Marcus stamped into my forehead every time one of them has let a door slam in my face...
