The Reason For Rules
I was on a plane where half the plane was ignoring the rules. When we touched down, these people immediately got up and started walking around and taking their bags out of the overheads. Mind you, the plane hasn’t parked; it’s just literally touched the floor of the landing strip so it’s still moving and it’s dangerous for half the people on the plane to be moving around and taking all their heavy bags down above everyone else’s heads.
The flight attendants are now desperately trying to get these people to sit down until the plane stops moving, and some people were waving their hands at them dismissively. I think the captain heard the commotion and the flight attendants yelling, because all of a sudden, the plane did a VERY abrupt stop, knocking over all the people standing before continuing to park.
The flight attendant then said, “This is EXACTLY why we have rules”.
