part of that process is to not let stuff bother me. let it go, be less judgy... work in progress for sure. get rid of the P-Peeves.

but GD it!! the baggage claim luggage conveyor belt thing. why do people need to crowd the thing? its almost a compulsion to do so. get right up to the belt and as a group cover the the entire circumference. I try to hang back, if I see my bag, go up grab it move off. if everyone did what I did, it would be clean. but no0000, I have to run the gauntlet, hurdle carts, older (than me) people. hahah..

be honest now. you a conveyer crowder person?
Yes, I'm a crowder. I wouldn't be if everyone hung back, but since folks crowd it, I get my spot.

On what I see as a related note, folks that try to enter an elevator while folks on the elevator are getting off. Really, it makes sense or seems like a good idea to try to enter while one or more folks are getting off rather than wait the 10 seconds that it takes for the entry to be empty.

Even worse, 20+ years ago, I was on one of those little trams at an airport that take you from one terminal to another, and this tram only had doors on one side. When the tram got to the destination and the doors opened, the folks waiting to get on had formed a complete semi-circle around the exit. I was in a bit of a mood, and plowed through a narrow gap dragging my suitcase over at least 2 different feet. I like to think that time has tempered me quite a bit and I wouldn't do that now. But I'm sure that if my mood was just right (wrong)...
