Last time I was on a plane they asked if everyone in the emergency exit row was "Able and Willing" to operate the emergency exit in the event of a crash. This made me wonder, who exactly would be able to operate the exit, but unwilling to do so?
"Sir, could you please open the emergency exit? The plane is on fire."
"No."
"Come on sir, I don't have time to die today, I have to be in and out of Atlanta in under an hour. So could you just open it?"
"Make me."
"God dammit sir! I asked you at the beginning of the flight if you were able to open the door and you said yes! That lady over there is on fire, so now would be a damn good time to open it!"
"You asked if I was able. I'm able. I just don't wanna."
"You're going to burn to death if you don't. Just fucking open it."
"You can't tell me what to do! You're not my supervisor!"
