6 In-flight Etiquette Mistakes Flight Attendants Wish You'd Stop Making

We've all encountered rude people on airplanes.

The one that really bugs me is "Getting Up Too Soon After Landing". I don't know why people stand, and sometimes for quite a long time after the plane has landed. I flew Scandinavian Air once, and everyone exited row by row. Very orderly. It was amazing. And frankly deboarding went much faster.

And of course those that take up a lot of space in the overhead bins are just rude. Apparently their stuff is more important than anyone else's.
