A new travel annoyance is taking flight: 'aisle lice', passengers who rush to deplane before others. This debate arises after the 'gate lice' phenomenon gained attention, where passengers cut lines to board early. Reddit users weigh in on which type of 'lice' is more bothersome, with some arguing it's a harmless quirk while others find it disruptive and inconsiderate.
Move aside 'gate lice,' flight passengers are now debating the latest travel annoyance that takes place on the actual plane: 'aisle lice.' Gate lice drew headlines after American Airlines announced it was expanding new technology that beeps when encountering the phenomenon at more than 100 airports. The term 'gate lice' refers to passengers who cut lines in the hope of boarding a flight early.
On the 'r/delta' Reddit forum, one flyer asked, 'Who do hate more? Gate lice or aisle lice?' The user shared that he or she was on a flight from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport to LaGuardia Airport and witnessed 'aisle lice' as soon as the plane landed. 'Not only do the two people next to me decide to stand up but the guy from the window seat shoves his way forward and is the first of all of us to get off the plane,' wrote the user.
Fellow flyers took to the comments section to share their thoughts. 'Aisle lice. Gate lice do not bother me since most people want to get on first for the bin space,' posted one user. Another commented, 'Aisle lice don't bother me as much because if they get up in my row I usually get more room to stretch while I wait.' 'Aisle lice are exponentially worse imo. who really cares who gets on the plane first, you’re all getting on anyways.
He said that in those cases, flight staff should be made aware and, oftentimes, crew will politely ask passengers to stay seated for others to exit first. 'Frankly, everyone would get off faster if we stuck to the unspoken rule of waiting our turn,' said Blewett.
