Why you don’t want to be called ‘gate lice’ at the airport

  1. Sounds like gates are ill-designed if you can just stand in the way of everyone while also not doing anything wrong.

    On the other hand, I also don’t get people who want to get on the plane ASAP. I just sit on my ass in the gate until I notice the last few people are boarding and then I get on. Fuck standing, waiting, shuffling forward a couple few CM every few seconds…

  2. This very same article that shames people for crowding the gate, links to a “lost luggage” article that has the following tip:

    > If you have a carry-on, be one of the first in line: “They only allow so many check-in bags on board, after which all bags over get checked below.”

    So uh.. yeah.

  3. I don’t care what People Call me nor what they think about me. Quite liberating. F them, Kiss my ass madafakers..

  4. It’s all about that overhead space.

    People are short of getting into fights just to get their oversized bag into that tiny space. And I get it to a certain point, nobody wants to gate check a bag but it’s getting out of hand.
