I'm going to ask strangers to let my wife and I ahead of them in the tsa line so we don't miss our flight
Why are you bothering strangers with this?
We are just more deserving and need to cut in front of them.
It sounds like you have poor planning skills. It's terribly rude to ask complete strangers if you can cut in line. It is very selfish of you.
What's so wrong with this? I will do it anyway since I don't give a shit about others.
How would you feel if someone wanted to cut in front of you because they didn't plan ahead? You are just making other people later when they made the effort to get to the airport on time.
