I was waiting to board an airplane last Friday and was horrified by the behavior of my fellow passengers.  First, no one will get to our final destination faster than anyone else.  So, your rude rush to be the first one on the plane won’t really give you any advantage.

My gripe — able bodied people were pushing their way in front of a young couple grappling with twins.  The airlines rightly give people who are traveling with small children a bit of an advantage — they get to board early.  But business travelers were pushing their way in front of this struggling couple.

Be polite.  Be generous.  Be aware of others’ struggles.  And wait your turn!!
