<p>So, what are the most annoying/intolerable things [in your opinion] that a fellow passenger could do while flying in a plane?</p>
<p>I'm sure some of you have some good stories - let's hear 'em.</p>
<p>People who you don't know that fall asleep on your shoulder. I've had it happen more than once. It bugs me.</p>
<p>When I was younger I flew unucompanied and some guy beside me gave me a lectur about not eting the food that was given to me because I didn't like the taste. </p>
<p>What really bugs me though is the 8 year olds that can't stop making all of the sounds, you know the fake armpit farting sounds, or they try to belch the aplphabet.</p>
<p>crying kids
people who smell bad
fat people
fat people who smell bad</p>
<p>People so obese that they spill over into your seat and squish you with their immense girth.</p>
<p>People kicking the back of my seat.</p>
<p>Uhmmm, really smelly people.</p>
<p>i hate kids who cry, i just can't stand it, especially on an airplane...
i also hate when all the bathrooms are occupado....
i also dislike people who ask you to put your chair upright while they're eating behind you even though the tray stays in the exactly same position regardless if you're chair is upright or leaned back
i also hate fat people who have kids</p>
<p>I hae fat people who can't controll their kids.</p>
<p>Hahahhahaha, I have no sympathy for the obese people, hahahahahaha. Stop consuming Mcdonalds! Don't you even think about picking up that fry American!</p>
<p>There are a few obese people that I can stand, few. Most just bug me.</p>
<p>Lol, I love that this has turned into a fat people-bashing thread :]</p>
<p>Well, they are, in my experience, one of the greatest nuisances one can come to face on an airplane.</p>
<p>And not merely "fat", I was referring to the morbidly obese 500 lb behemoths that crush lesser people than themselves for fun.</p>
<p>It didn't take too long. :)</p>
<p>Have any threads in the high school section ever stayed on topic?</p>
<p>Well, I'd say large people but that's been quite well-examined. Once I was on a teeny tiny plane next to a huge dude (because I was traveling alone, embarrassed to be the last one to board, and some dou.che had taken my seat), and when I woke from a nap I didn't remember taking, some waif of a woman was in his seat. Apparently he was too big to fly without paying for more legroom.</p>
<p>But the worst is when the big person is in front of you and the seatback's broken so they can go all the way back into your lap. Garrrr. And paying for every little thing is so annoying. And then the flight attendants get progressively more angry that this is their actual job, which they've worked "so hard at for so long" but are still going to be let off, so they're no longer actually nice, and you can hear their long sighs as they read the safety information.</p>
<p>Ohh, and the nillion trillion packing requirements.</p>
<p>I'm a frequent traveler, haha.</p>
<p>How would you guys order these from least annoying/terrible to the most?</p>
<p>Leaning the seat all the way back throughout the flight
Leaning/drooling on your neighbor’s shoulder while sleeping
Crying baby
Annoying phone calls throughout the flight
Bare feet up on the seat
Excessive flatulence
Drinking too much
Kicking the seat in front of you
Sitting in the wrong seat and refusing to move
Endless talking
Extremely potent perfume/lotion
Flying with a cold/sickness [sneezing, coughing]
Smoking on the plane
Air rage – verbal or physical threats, intimidation, assault
Hijacking the plane</p>
<p>Some of them are already kind of in order... lol.</p>
<p>Crying kids.
7 year old kids who won't shut up or stop kicking for the 10 hour flight (I almost committed a homicide).
People who always look over your shoulder to see what you're reading/listening to/doing on your laptop/etc.
People who automatically put their seat ALL the way back.</p>
<p>I hate it when parents can't controll their kids. I can't decide if it's worse n an airplane or in a grocery store. (I hate shopping for school supplies at grocery stores because the mom's have to bring their eight children all under the age of seven and none can stand still and they keep pulling things off the shelves.)</p>
<p>^I've been there. There have been annoying kids it seem son every flight I've ever been on.</p>
<p>I hate when people next to you don't speak English and refuse to believe that you can't understand them, then they proceed to chatter on in German for like 10 hours, all the way to Frankfurt!!!!!!! lol.</p>
<p>^^Definitely, but in my many travels and airplane excursions (and in my life), I had never wanted to harm someone as much as I wanted to harm that 7 year old boy. Granted, I was already in a horrible mood by the time I got onto the plane from Frankfurt to Philadelphia.</p>
<p>^Oy... Frankfurt seems to yield annoying results.</p>
<p>Lol, on a flight from Frankfurt to Rome I sat next to a semi-famous person.. the violinist from the Turtle Island string quartet. HAHA look them up, they've won awards and stuff, but when he told me I was like... suuuuuree...</p>
<p>My dad works for the airlines, so his job benefits include free or close-to-free air travel.</p>
<p>I've traveled in Business Class since I was seven, so the only clothes I've ever worn to a flight was either that of a suit and tie, or business casual. So pretty much the most annoying thing is at the airport, when it's a million degrees and I'm dying of dehydration. </p>
<p>Economy... pshh :rolleyes:</p>
<p>My mom is all of five feet tall and under a hundred pounds, and she ALWAYS gets stuck next to the biggest guy on the plane. It's like they can tell or something.</p>
<p>And last time I flew, the people next to me brought on McDonald's, so the whole place reeked of grease, and the chick in front of me had her seat all the way back for the entire duration of the plane ride. It was the first time I'd flown economy in awhile and of course I get the one rude lady who encroaches on ALL my room. She'd even sit up every now and then to do something on her tray table... while leaving her seat back.</p>
<p>But I'm completely passive-aggressive, so I just kneed her seat the whole time.</p>
