It takes courage to be the first one to stand up and get behind that “Other Q” sign, boarding card and passport clutched tightly in your sweaty paw. Respect to you early adopters. Respect.
You must surely feel the stares of hate from your fellow passengers, and still you queue on. Respect.
Once a queue begins to form, it becomes very difficult to resist its power. Those who cannot quell the uncontrollable compulsion to join should not be vilified. Herd mentality is real, people!
What if the people in the queue know something you don’t? What if all the the allocated seats were declared null and void when you weren’t looking? Stranger things have happened on Ryanair flights. It pays to be vigilant.
4. TOLERANCE
How is the queue harming you in any way? Turn a blind eye. Show tolerance to your fellow passengers. Let them queue, for they have earned it. They have diligently squeezed three days worth of clothes and so many, SO MANY, tiny toiletries, into their hand luggage. Let them be.
If you must truly still look for the real reason behind the queue, you need look no further than the overhead bins.
Consider the number of passengers. Consider their overstuffed hand luggage. Consider the sweating as you pace up and down the aisles searching for somewhere to stick your 12kgs, because the space over your own seat has already been taken by Mary and Pat from Longford with their two coats and their matching cases from Dunnes.
Sure, if you hang on till the end the staff will probably give you a yellow sticker and put your case in the hold free of charge, but are you willing to take that chance?
Hand luggage anxiety is real. Do not dismiss it.
