I just wish people that had to wait 20 minutes for their checked in luggage to be unloaded would stay seated until others had exited.

I always do that, and do not really understand why it's not more common, even using a completely selfish and self-serving perspective.

That cramped aisle after everyone who could possibly get up did get up is damn uncomfortable, and those tiny seats get a lot roomier after my neighbors got up.

My working hypothesis is "irrational herd behavior".

I'd welcome any insights.
