What's so difficult about putting a 90 degree bend in the queu, and standing along the wall instead of blocking the hallway? Or the travelers who have to stop right in the middle of the flow of traffic to look in their bags or read a text! Can't they move to the side of the hallway first?
Yup. Also gotta love the "parents" who let their kids walk around (more like run) freely without any supervision. I just recently heard a story of a regional FA who saved a toddler from sure death by grabbing him dangerously close to a moving prop when he walked out the door during boarding while the parents were at the podium changing seats.
Sorry, but if TWO adults can't handle ONE child, put the kid on one of those kid leashes.
