Are you flying to Disney World soon or headed somewhere else adventurous?
That moment when the plane lands and you're hoping for an orderly exit? It rarely happens. Recently, deplaning chaos has become all too common, worsened by the so-called "Aisle Lice." Let's delve into what these are and why flight attendants dread them.
What Are Aisle Lice?
"Aisle Lice" are eager passengers who prematurely jump up and clog the aisle as soon as the plane stops. Rather than waiting patiently for their turn to disembark row by row, these folks push forward, creating a bottleneck.
Why Do Flight Attendants Dislike Aisle Lice?
Flight attendants manage all kinds of in-flight chaos, but Aisle Lice make things tougher by:
- Slowing the Process: Instead of speeding things up, they create delays by blocking smooth exits.
- Creating Hazards: Jamming the aisle with people and baggage can lead to injuries and confusion.
- Ignoring Etiquette: Courteous deplaning means waiting your turn, not barging through as if on a race for the exit.
Other Airport Offenders:
- Gate Lice: These travelers cluster at the boarding area long before their group is called, making boarding more stressful.
- Seat Squatters: These are the ones who sit in seats that aren’t theirs, hoping no one will call them out, only adding to flight crew headaches.
Be a Polite Passenger
Traveling is stressful enough without inconsiderate passengers. Let's keep the experience pleasant by:
- Staying seated until your turn to deplane.
- Waiting for your boarding group.
- Sticking to your assigned seat.
