This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Impatient pricks on aeroplanes.
Why, do you think you're going to get home any quicker if you all pile into the aisle blocking each other from getting your kit. The doors aren't even open yet, for fuck's sake.

Because there's a
half mile queue at immigration, and every person you can barge past on the way there will save you about 1 minute of queueing.

So, if I can get past 60 people, I'm doing rather better than you are, no? Not rocket science, is it?

in actuality, people don't really move until they open the doors.the just stand there impotently for 10 minutes next to their seats
if you are barging type, you could still happily save your energy sitting until just before they do (it's usually easy to tell when) then make a late charge

^^ This
Half mile queue at immigration? you lucky fucker - it's generally a lot longer at Stansted - apart from last Thursday: straight through border control so I called the missus and smugly informed her there was no queue, then got stuck in stationary traffic on the M11 for an hour.

It's the scramble to get on...
... when you have numbered seats anyway that I find especially pointless.

Particularly when you can see from the lounge that the plane is only half-full and there will be no crush for the luggage space.

I recently flew back from Frankfurt
One bellend was getting out of his seat and grabbing his overhead locker luggage while the plane was still moving. The very large and VERY German steward bellowed down the aisle 'SIT DOWN AND STAY IN YOUR SEAT'.
The guy sat back down and once the plane had come to a stop he stood by the bellend ensuring he stayed seated while everyone got off, lecturing him on the safety rules.
These rushing idiots should all be barred from flying for a month each time they do it.

Um, no.
He no doubt told him to sit dowm, but the rest? No. that didn't happen.

I was on an American Airlines flight
once when the air stewardess (attendant/service crew or whatever term is de rigeur) used the intercom to berate one gentleman who did exactly this with similar results. I think they are more confident in doing this because they have federal powers (or some such authority whilst on the plane I believe).

I can imagine that happening too
but physically keeping someone in their seat like a naughty schoolboy, till the last passenger had left?

Ha ha. Good one.

If I had the power,
I most definitely would. It might teach them a lesson but at the very least it would be quite cathartic.
