Also frequently on flights in/out of China, though the cabin crew are quite happy to shout "Qing zuo" (please sit) during taxi when necessary.

I hate that. Of course, most likely nothing is going to happen, but it could, and then their stupid suitcase could also fall on my head.

When the plane arrives at the gate, there's still plenty of time to get your stuff... :-/

happens on every single indian flight. Indians have the fear of being 'left behind' from decades of conditioning where only first few birds get the worm. I have this instinct too form standing in ration lines with my ration card for wheat/sugar and palm oil .

As an an Indian, I completely agree and it annoys me every time I fly home. I just don't understand what's the rush? I mean, the plane hasn't even touched the runway yet and people are scrambling for overhead luggage, some of them are turning on their mobiles on and are on call, heck I even saw even once the toddler taken out of the belt. All for what? To go and wait in aisle or bus or in front of the airline staff or the luggage belt. It grinds my gears every time.

But indigo can land a plane, get all the passengers and bags off, new passengers and bags on, and be moving in 45 minutes. Keeps the tickets cheap!
