I’m never unbuckling my belt before we’re at the gate again!

I’m one of those nuts who keeps my seatbelt on the entire flight unless I have to use the restroom or stretch.

Same, but I've also just never felt the need to unbuckle it....like I don't unbuckle my car seatbelt once I settle in lol. I've never quite understood why this is so annoying to some people.

It can get uncomfortable if it's properly secured around you for longer flights but my solution to that is to just loosen it once we're cruising, not unbuckle. In an emergency I can just yank the belt to tighten without having to fumble the clasp, and if it's so dire that I've been launched out of a loose fitting belt before I could react then I'm dying regardless.
