A comical new nickname has been introduced into the air travel community that describes passengers trying to make their way through the aisles after the plane lands.
Similar to “door lice,” the new term, “aisle lice,” refers to travelers who try to make their way to the front of the plane once it reaches the tarmac.
‘Gate lice’ gained national attention last year after American Airlines announced it would test technology at select airports that would attempt to help prevent impatient travelers from boarding before their zone is called.
The new nickname first sparked conversations online after a Reddit user started a debate to see which type of ‘lice’ is the worst to deal with while traveling.
A user on the r/delta forum said that while they were aboard a Delta flight traveling from Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport to LaGuardia Airport, they were “pushed” by a man sitting in a window seat while they were sitting in an aisle seat in first class. section.
“Not only did the people next to me decide to stand up, but somehow the guy in the window seat pushed his way forward and was the first of all of us to get off the plane,” they wrote.
“I deserve it to think that FC (first class) passengers have more class and would respect certain space and personal order.”
His comments quickly attracted others to weigh in online, with some also mentioning their personal flying experiences.

One person admitted that they don’t really like “hallway lice” compared to “door lice.”
“Lice don’t bother me because most people want to get to the container space first,” they explained.
‘I blame the airlines for that. If you don’t have a close connection or any other “emergency”, wait your turn to get off the plane.
‘Hallway lice are exponentially worse in my opinion (in my opinion). Who cares who gets on the plane first? Anyway, everyone will go up.
“Hallway lice slow things down, slow people down, and cause a lot more headaches,” wrote another.
Another user admitted: ‘Pojos in the hallways all day.’
While many chose the problem on the plane, others shared their hatred towards those who crowd at the gate before people board.
‘Door lice are annoying when it comes to an airport where the doors are small and block the way to sit. “I blame the airline for this,” someone said.

“Lice, for sure,” said another user, with one adding: “Lice are lice.”
One user made it clear that he doesn’t like any of the practices, calling them “ridiculous.”
‘The fact that we have to choose between these two is ridiculous. “Neither is emblematic of appropriate adult behavior,” they said.
‘Yes, of course, there are exceptions. However, literally everyone does it: keep an eye on your upcoming flights. Not everyone can be the exception.’
Another user responded directly to his comment: ‘Of course they can. Selfishness knows no limits.’
