Flyingmole, generally speaking, if we order an evacuation, it is absolutely the last resort. It is not a decision that is taken lightly because we are well aware that even when the fuselage is 2 feet off the ground, people will be injured: particularly children, the elderly, the disabled and the infirm. So there has to be a significant risk of you dying in the cabin for us to decide to evacuate. So my advice is if you are told to get off, then just do it - forget your frigging laptop and yeah, you are selfish. And stupid.
