Gate lice! Those annoying people who crowd the boarding area as soon as the process begins. They often block orderly boarding and attempt to board with an earlier group.
Gate lice are typically Karen’s and Kevin’s, who are needy and crave external validation. They feel entitled to first class importance but struggle financially for economy.
But this is only half of the ecosystem.
The anti-gate louse is at the other end of the spectrum. He typically buys tickets the day of. He is cool and collected.
The anti-gate louse typically tries to stall boarding until the last minute. That way he has first dibs on cherry remaining seating options. And he is stared down by the gate lice, who are envious they did not possess the self control needed to wait and do the same!
Don’t be a gate louse!
