I was in a very small, two room crowded airport in Key West, FL. I was in the departure terminal in a very long line and realized that I had forgotten my ticket in my car (my stupid fault, this I know!). Anyway, I was attempting to exit the terminal (one room) when about 20+ elderly ladies were entering very slowly into the room. I was the only one trying to get out, and I asked if they could please excuse me and let me out. According to common courtesy, the person exiting is to have the "right of way" for lack of a better term (think of an elevator--don't even get me started on that!).
The lady then nastily said to me, "Can't you WAIT?!?"
If I had waited for all of them, it would have been in excess of 5 minutes, and I was on the verge of missing my flight anyway, so I said I could not wait and scooted out the door, much to their dismay, with them yelling at me (it took me 2 seconds). I know that I didn't follow etiquette to the T, but I don't think I was out of line. Any input?
