Entitled airplane passenger blocks everyone from de-planing, 75% of whom were trying to make a connecting flight: 'The living breathing embodiment of selfish'

Airplane etiquette seems to be flying out the window these days (pun intended)!

When we're children, we're supposedly taught to wait our turn, and yet for whatever reason, adults lose that sense of mutual and communal respect. In my opinion, there is almost no greater example of this phenomenon than the moment that immediately follows the seatbelt sign turning off after a plane has landed. During these few seconds, a few passengers inevitably leap to their feet to grab their belongings despite the fact that they are often seated towards the back of the plane, with many rows of other passengers in front of them. 

Of course, there are exceptions that can justify this behavior, the most common of which is when one passenger is trying to make a connecting flight within a tight window. All one needs to do in this situation is explain the situation as they cut the line. Most decent folks will understand. In this specific case, about 75% of the passengers on the plane were attempting to make the same connecting flight. This naturally meant that most folks found themselves in the same boat and were thus trying their best to be swift as they retrieved their luggage and exited the plane. 

However, one lady, who just so happened to be staying on the same flight for the second half of its journey, decided to use this opportunity to hold up the entire line. Her reasoning? She wanted to see if she could get a seat upgrade. Never mind the fact that so many individuals were in a rush! Apparently, her precious opening at a first-class seat took priority.
