You are paid by the minute. Unless it is the last leg of a trip just sit there and think happy thoughts. If it is the last leg say something to them and explain it is the last leg and your stuck behind them. Most people will help you out.

It's not really that big of a deal. Many of the ASA crews transiting DTW are not based there and would gladly comply if they were familiar with this ellusive "zipper rule." You don't see any ASA people complaining when Pinnacle 200's dork up the ramp in ATL. We all visit unfamiliar places. Paid by the minute, my friend.

All the more reason I ask, why so impatient then?

For the love of pete, don't block the taxiways around the B/C Concourse. Trust me, DTW Ground doesn't like it (even gates), and neither does Ramp Control.
When you turn to line up with the gate, pull up to the zipper road. RJ drivers, you know you have pulled up enough when the first zipper disappears under your nose. This provides the rest of the traffic around the area enough room to taxi past remaining centered on the centerline.
There are just some things Mesaba, Compass, and Pinnacle never had issues with up here (well that and no holding into DTW).
