Let me start with Gate Lice and how that is probably not what you think it is either. "Gate lice" is a not so nice term for passengers who try to board a flight before their group is called. It's considered impolite because it makes it difficult for others to board the plane. American Airlines announced new technology that is aimed at stopping this. With the new technology, if you're not in the correct boarding group there will be a beep and every single person in the terminal will know that you are a line jumper. And also, you will not get to board the plane early. So that brings us to Aisle Lice. “Aisle lice,” on the other hand, points to passengers who push through others in an attempt to deplane before anyone else. I can admit to being an Aisle Louse but never pushy or rude, but I do like to deplane right away. Because yes, I am in a hurry...to get to the rental car. The rental car line at the airport after you've already been flying is just the absolute worst. Not by any fault of their own. It is what it is, but if I can avoid it, I like to do that. When the plane lands I pop up like a ground hog! I am in that car rental line before most passengers are off the plane. I'm not pushing anyone, I'm not rushing anyone, but also I am not letting anyone out into the aisle in front of me either. So who's worse? The Gate Lice or the Aisle Lice? I'll let you decide. https://www.foxnews.com/travel/aisle-lice-latest-air-travel-annoyance-spark-social-media-debate
