I'd just bash my head on the bins if I rush anyway

I end up in the last row a lot. Nobody bitches about the recline, extra space behind the seat to do things like hang a jacket off the head rest, ditch the laptop case instead of wasting leg room under the seat in front, if I need anything I'm right beside where the staff are, toilets are close, if the flight goes sideways I'm close to the auxiliary oxygen tanks for the masks, extra inflatables, and in that event close to first out the door.

Last row for the win.

Last row pride.

But think about how quickly you can get off the plane when you land without all those rows in front of you.

While the access is nice, this is also perhaps the biggest downside of the back row. You get the whiff of the toilet every time the door is opened, and on longer flights you constantly have people loitering around your seat.

Seeing who responds to those e-mails sent out to multiple distribution lists with, "Please remove me from this thread" or "Stop replying all", is a good way to identify strugglers in the company.

I literally cannot believe that outcome. Stop the steal. I was expecting a blowout the other way. Something is afoot.

I think someone is Wannamakering votes for Dissentowner at this point. No way it should have been that much of a blowout
