I have an irrational fear of missing my flight...if I'm at the gate, I know I'll make it on. I can sit back with a book and relax until boarding time.

I refuse to get into that massively long boarding line though. I'll wait that out as long as possible so that I don't have to wait for people to struggle through stowing their carry-on, finding their seat, etc. Every airline should adopt the zone boarding system, and banish the passengers that refuse to follow it.
