Heh! I don't have much plane experience (just plane inexperienced, I
guess), but my daily incarceration on the Light Rail Sardine Can seems
analogous, and the perpetrators come in two general varieties:
1) The roadblock who stands immobile at the exit when the doors open,
perhaps out of some fear that they won't be allowed to reenter once the throng
has passed.
2) The manic who absolutely needs to get out first despite any throng
between him and the door.
In either case, I am likewise frustrated by people unable to grasp the
rudiments of egress. If I carried an armored suitcase, I too cheerfully drag
it over the toes of stragglers!
Dave!

Isn't that *twice* daily incarceration?
Later this week I will be back to riding the London Underground Jubilee line
two or more times a day, which was deliberately made smaller than older(?)
tube trains. Ostensibly so that the tubes would be cheaper to bore, but I know
the real reason... so that when it's rush hour you're not just squeezed in,
you also have to bend your head because the roof curvature means that you
can't stand up straight.
Well, actually I just found a way to get to work using only buses and the DLR,
but I wanted to complain about Jubilee anyway.
One good thing, the Jubilee cars are painted white, red, yellow and some sort
of light purple. Very garish, but very LEGO reproducable (if you can get the
curve right)
