Common courtesy is not exactly something that strangers on airplanes seem to exhibit anymore. These days, people are taking their shoes off and parading around in their bare feet. They're hogging the shared arm rests. They're extending their legs beyond their own personal space. Whatever happened to even the slightest sliver of respect people used to show for one another on flights?

Yes, we're talking about how people are supposed to wait for the folks in front of them to grab their suitcases and deplane before it's their turn. Sure, there are exceptions for folks who may be in a hurry to make a connecting flight, but most of the time, the "early standers" and line cutters are simply impatient and entitled. The reality of the matter is that everyone wants to get off the plane, and while the wait may feel interminable, it really isn't. This passenger noticed some overeager line cutters behind him and decided to make it all the more difficult for them.
