No LBMHBF is that guy on the side of the road with his thumb sticking
out. You know the guy that you would have given a ride except for that
he's dirty and sticky and you just plain don't ride with creeps.

Took about 3.5 hours to get back from denver. took another half hour to
get off the plane.

The fact of the matter is, like the 'just let them do it' and
"consideration" preachers of driving, you are asking everybody else to
have infinite tolerance of people who do not think ahead, do think about
how and what they are doing impacts others. True consideration is knowing
how to impact others the least and following through on it.

Nobody has infinite tolerance of this lack of real consideration. 5
minutes here, 10 minutes there, 30 minutes somewhere else. Multiplied by
hundreds of people encountered in a day. It gets aggrivating. Over weeks,
months and years... people eventually can't tolerate it any longer. The
real solution is to preach actual consideration for others. Not demand
those who practice real consideration have the tolerance of Jesus as
described in religious texts. If everyone did their part to minimize
their impact on others, daily life would be considerably easier. It's
much more achievable than demanding super human feats of infinite tolerance.

What if you don't have any checked bags.... I just had a carry on for the
flight where I got stuck in the last row of seats.

In that circumstance most people would be excused from passing thru
baggage claim... but in your case, I think you ought to stop and see if
someone didn't check a few bags for you that you were unaware of. If I
were you I'd wait until all bags were claimed before exiting the
baggage claim area.

Try to get the opportunity to get your ear against every suitcase. My
guess is... any that are "ticking"... are yours.

You're part of the problem. I want to deplane NOW, but I am always
stuck behind some fat-ass ****er like yourself. Well I got news for
you, you're not taking your time. You're taking MY TIME.

That's about how I do it too. I don't see any reason to jump up, and sometimes
have to stand while all bent over because I can't get into the aisle and the
overhead storage is low, and be in that position for 5 minutes. When the aisle
starts clearing 2 or 3 rows ahead, I stand up, grab my junk, and by that time I
just walk off the plane. No problem. _Still_ get to baggage claim before my
bags.

And, BTW, I _normally_ sit at the back of the plane. This means I get to board
in the 1st wave after 1st class, its not so far to the lavatory, and if a plane
crashes, the survivors are usually the ones that are sitting near the tail
section. Plus, I _can_ _sit_ and wait, walk to the baggage claim, and its not
as long to _stand_ there waiting for the bags (unless its US Air, of course,
and then the wait could be 8 days, or... forever.)
