The seats are assigned. People have been standing in line for 15 minutes now. Why on earth would anyone want to stand there, when they could just sit and wait until the line clears?

I understand wanting to get off a plane ASAP, but boarding? You just end up sitting on the plane, waiting for everyone else to get on.

    Why does it seem like everyone in the comment section takes flights all the time? For me, flying on an airplane is for vacations abroad only, and I maybe get 2 flights a year at most. I assume this is one of those US things I’m too Asian to understand.

        Yep.

        Used to fly all the time for work.

        After that, flying with my wife and kids, or standing in TSA line with the normies who don’t know what to do gets incredibly frustrating.

        I remember getting stuck behind one Karen who was pissed off she had to toss out a giant bottle of hair conditioner, in like 2017. Like, lady, yeah, it’s dumb, but the 311 rule isn’t new. Get over yourself.

        It really depend on your job.

        I know contractors that fly all over the place to get to different jobs and such.

      I was flying 4-5 times a year when I worked remotely for a tech company. First few times was neat. I got over it fast. A bunch of cities/airports really suck and treat you like cattle.

      We don’t have cool trains like you do in many parts of Asia.

      And the Asian countries that don’t have trains are probably small enough that you still don’t really need to fly to get from one side to the other.

        Are you under the impression that the US has a bunch of trains that we use constantly? Because we dont.
