Flew from Crete to Rhodes with Olympic a few years ago. Spent about 15 minutes in a queue while six American ladies all in their seventies and eighties networked the check in lady. When we boarded the old 737 our six ladies were all seated in the exit row with their substantial bags piled on the floor in front of them blocking the exits. I pointed this out to the FA and was ignored, the stupid thing was that apart from being negligent it wasn't even necessary cos the flight was less than half full..
