You forgot to draw in the fact that the asshole has a luggage cart next to him also pulled up to the edge of the conveyor so that rather than taking up 2' of conveyor frontage he can take up 5'.

This also gives me the rage. I usually react to it by making sure I swing my bag in a wide and violent arc when I remove it from the belt, thus knocking 7 people out of the way and hopefully teaching them a lesson. 2. Australian airports have a line painted on the ground, and people stand behind it. It's not that hard people! I can’t believe I only just saw this.

It is so true that standing just at the "mouth" of the thing and crowding the area around the belt surely does not mean you'll get your bag faster. It's highly likely that even though you're up close you have to wait around for your bag because it might just 'not' be the first bag out. I say stand back until you spot a bag that looks like yours, then move up to the belt and inspect it - if it's your bag take it and be happy you can leave, if it's not - move back again and wait. BTW. I'm gonna link to this from my blog. I totally agree with you and I honestly can’t understand the negative comments on this post.

If they simply put seats down so you could rest while your baggage was coming that would be great. You can’t fight people’s natural tendencies, I don’t think quite makes ‘asshole status’ though.
