People Who Crowd the Boarding Gate When Pre-Boarding Begins

Is this really what you look forward to?

Sit down you idiots. You're not in first class, you're not an elite frequent flyer (those people actually pay a LOT more for better service), you don't require assistance and you don't have a family of little-uns to shepherd onto a large speeding bullet. Oh, but you "like to get in and get settled." Come on man, it's a goddamn plane, how settled can you possibly get between the person yapping on their phone to your right, the two-person person crowding the left-side of your face, and the douchebag who just dropped their ridiculously over-packed, over-sized carry-on on your head?

Plane cabins make airport terminals look like bloody day spas! As soon as you get in you'll be itching to get out of the thing again. You were actually settled sitting out there in a normal chair, with plenty of temperate air, probably a nice bit of natural light and maybe even some mindless sports coverage on the telly. But you can't wait to get onto the machine that you probably hate and will moan about (they don't serve shitty food to us inflight any more! no terrible movies! it was late leaving and late arriving!) for the next three weeks, destroying your holiday.

You try running an airline that has to serve a million shmucks like you every year...I imagine it's pretty hard. Sit down, chill out, wait for the actual call, and I'll see you at the other end when we'll all get off the plane at PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY THE SAME TIME!

Then again, you may happen to be on a 757 in America. If that's the case, you might as well go to sleep as soon as you land.
