And why do people need to jump up, push and shove and grab their carry on luggage as soon as the plane comes to a halt? They seem to think the doors will swing open immediately. The long queue of squashed people in the aisle holding their luggage while I sit and make a couple of calls amuses me.
Point 1) I like to get in early as there is nothing worse than assholes taking up the overhead compartment with the 57 bags they snuck through Stevie Wonder on the gate. Especially on international I don't want to be trudging up the aisle to get shit out of my backpack during a flight. The spot above my seat is mine and I'll thrown hands with anyone who tries to take it.

Point 2) you are 100% spot on. In fact we have a game where everyone in our crew on a flight gets to pick which asshole is first to jump out of their seat before the seatbelt sign goes off on arrival. Its great for end of season trips as 20 blokes point and laugh at some idiot standing there. Highly recommend it.
