I forgot something and couldn't edit my previous post. I forgot (as I've been gone too long apparently) that with my airline, we were to close the aircraft door 3 minutes beforehand on domestic departures and 4 or 5 (can't remember) minutes before on international. So possibly, showing up 6 minutes before really gave the agent only 3 minutes to do the extra work. Still enough time but really shouldn't be asked to do it.
