Letters To People Unlikely To Respond: Clueless Traveling Mom

Memo to Moms traveling with small kids:

If you're on a flight that is late arriving to a major transfer hub, how about you and your precious snowflakes stand aside on the Jetway and let the folks that are dashing to try to make a connection go past?

Mom with one in arms and two in the two to four year old age were the first ones out the door on the late-arriving flight.
As soon as they cleared the doorway at least 5 people behind broke into a run, vaulting the stanchions trying to make their flights...
Mom and her parade had taken up the whole jetbridge in a meandering stroll to the concourse, holding up the entire plane as they moseyed along...

C'mon folks... Use your head for something other than a spot to hang your beaded headband and your Prada sunglasses.

Don't get me going on that topic. People are seriously lacking "awareness to other people around them" It's like everybody is now "me, myself and I". You see at Costco when people are leaving their cart in the middle of the aisle, using escalators, just walking on sidewalk. Folks: there are others than you that really need to be somewhere fast! Ugghhh

Grrr... Had that on landing at LAX- Medical emergency and they asked for people to stay seated... Did they? Of course not... Female with kids up and blocking the aisle...

@Luc - the ones that torque me off are the people on the moving sidewalk that use it as a carnival ride- standing/blocking and chatting.
Its supposed to help you move faster- its not a ride.

@NFO- gah. People kill me. All of them.
The world would be so much better without us.
