Me first

In terms of flight duration and number of trips, in the past few years, I've taken more flights than the first 25 years of my life. The embarking and disembarking only fuels my hypothesis that people are inherently myopic and self-serving.

The problem is when people have to put their luggage in the overhead compartment. Because of obesity/laziness/lack of physical strength/stupidity people usually stand in the aisle holding up other passengers. Even at a conservative 5 second delay, for a 144 passenger plane, this is 12 minutes wasted. People could collect their luggage while staying out the aisle, but the majority of people opt to stand in the aisle instead.

Small matter? Who cares right?

I feel so many global issues could be alleviated or possibly fixed if everyone made a small contribution. Too much to ask I guess.
