Dammit don't we all wan't to be out of that flying tube the minute the wheels hit the ground? Call someone on our cell phone even though waiting five minutes will not change anything?
People believe they are "entitled" to do whatever the hell they want wherever the hell they want to and those of us with some decency and consideration who sit back and follow the rules are tired of seeing it.
Maybe next time the entire plane should just start unloading the overheads while the seatbelt is on.
I am NOT excusing his behavior but I and other passengers UNDERSTAND IT.

Personally, I wish that people wouldn't bring so much carry-on baggage into the plane. It just holds things up even more when it comes to boarding and deplaning. It's also more hazardous, as people can get hit in the head with these heavy cases. The airlines indirectly encouraged that by charging a fee for checked baggage, so now people are trying to get around that by bringing in as much carry-on as they can get away with. I just carry one small bag with me, enough for a laptop and papers. I don't even need to use the overhead compartments, and I can just grab my bag in two seconds and be out of there.
And yes, I'm sure ready to get out of that flying tube as soon as I can.
For that reason, I don't generally use my cellphone until I'm off the plane, but I notice that a lot of people do. I think some people might be addicted to their cellphones, and going without it for a couple of hours might make them jittery. As for me, my only thought is going outside for a smoke.
