Ok, I have RDD but I have a good explaination. when I was a kid I was in one of those old station wagons with the rear facing seats and we were on a winding, hilly road. After drinking lots of Hawaiian Punch and not seeing where we were going I got really, really car sick. At least i got them to stop and got out before I let loose. So now I can't face backwards while moving forwards.

I always laugh at the people that jump out of the seat as soon as the plane stops. It's that hurry up and wait mentality. I just stay in the seat reading until the moving line has caught up to my row then I walk right off the plane and right past all those hurriers who are now stuck waiting for their checked luggage anyways (I always bring carryon).

I have two of the four: I don't like facing rearwards and I don't like it when people dilly-dally while deplaning.

Unless it's Southwest, I don't have SD. I just board when I'm supposed to and generally don't stress about it. I don't stress about running to bag claim because I know I'll beat the bags down there, no matter how far back in the plane I was sitting.
