This was me a few years ago. I travelled to England from Australia, stopping a few times on the way over. Handled airports really well while also wrangling children and a husband. Fell at the last hurdle when trying to fly out of Heathrow...the process was completely different to all of the other airports and even though we thought we were following the instructions given to us we failed dismally. Sometimes we mess up even though we try our hardest not to.

I have fantasies about being a dictator, so I could send all the dithery faffers who irritate the bejasus out of me to rat-infested dungeons.
That'd larn 'em.

Among many others are people in multi storey car parks who just stop and block anyone behind, instead of pulling over, since they've seen someone who might just be leaving in a minute - that is after THAT person has dithered and faffed, renewed their lipstick, checked their phone, etc., and despite it being evident to anyone with functional eyesight that there are plenty of spaces on the next level.

@galaxygirl the issue for me is that it is a big deal if my case goes under - often vital confidential documents and/or short transfers.

But airport ditherers are the worst two flights today and experienced way too many already. Looking at you businessman on his phone at security who then took 3years to bring his boarding pass up on his phone then the same again to put the bloody phone in the plastic tub with all the text checking. Aaarrrrgggghhhhh

I frequently fly with 16mth ds and still manage to be quicker than most!
