What irritates you most on a plane flight?

[Dang3r]

I think one of the major problems is, that most of the travellers today are assuming, its their private cabin and some of them are acting like that. They dont care much about other people as long as their own comfort isnt affected.
As an airline employee my sight dont differs by travelling and I think I wont reach a point where nothing would bother me anymore because I'd seen it all. When Im on duty I dont care, because the crowd is acting behind a gun safe cockpit door. But when returning as dead head crew or flying operative to the next airport into the cabin uniformed or not thats no difference to expect a bit decency from other people.
Working into an aircraft today is much more harder than 15 years ago, the new generation travellers had changed their minds and so are sometimes their behaviour.

1K with United so here are mine when I don't get upgraded:

Gate lice. Jackasses who crowd the gate, cut in line and generally make a bad experience worse. They have not earned or paid for the privilege to board early.

People who put small items in the overhead bin with nothing under the seat in front of them.

People who are rude to fight attendants.

Smelly people. Jesus, take a fing shower!!

Jackasses who rush to get in front of folks when deplaning.

Surprisingly okay with babies crying or not. Most parents are very sensitive to their kids behavior and not much you can do about a baby crying.

Flying in general sucks but some people are just clueless.

[RABAUKE]

Crashing would be on the top of my list.

[Soul_Glo]

When people think the call bell is a personal butler service.

When people get smashed and can't tone it down. Making a tit out of themselves and annoying everyone else.

When the person next to you falls asleep on your shoulder.

When people ask you to move every ten minutes. If you have a weak bladder let's swap seats.

When there is a bit of turbulence and the person next to you starts sweating and asking you if everything is okay.

When people get too friendly and want to talk about your personal life.

Screaming kids.

When they delay the flight because someone left late and begged them to hold the plane.

People who put their seat back when you haven't finished eating.

People who shove their rubbish down the side and it keeps ending up on your side.

People who want to join the mile high club while sat in their seat. We get it. There is nothing like cupping the boob of a loved one but you're not Stormy! Get a room.

People who take your hand luggage cubbyhole before you have put your luggage up.

People who watch elderly struggling with hand luggage and offer no help.

People from behind rushing to get off the plane when you're several aisles in front.

Flight attendants who are rude because someone irritated them.

Delta flights in general. Horrible air line.

Gate lice.

This one I find exceptionally irritating, but I also fund it amusing because the people who do it must be very stupid to not realise the outcome...

People who absolutely must get off the plane in front of you. You know the ones. As soon as the aircraft is remotely close to coming to a halt, and before the engines are shut down, they're our if their seat getting their stuff out the overhead bins.

Do they not realise that they are totally at the mercy if the baggage unload timings and carousel reclaim process?

On average, I get to passport check faster than 50% of people who do this. And the other 50% aren't faster to passport control because they got out if their seat in a dizzying rush. Its baggage claim. You're at the mercy of where and when your bags appear in the carousel. That's the single defining process that dictates the order you arrive at passport control. Not your impatience. Fucktard.


So I have a good chuckle at people who rush to deplane, because they are drawing attention to the fact that they are simpletons with no powers of analysis.

You'd be better off doing what I do, I think to myself... Just sit the fuck down and chill the fuck out.

And have a good laugh and point at the impatient morons...

Yours Aye

Screaming babies and parents who have the “oh well, what are you going to do” attitude. The 350+ lb person oozing onto me. I’m not a lightweight but I fit into my seat. To be fair, seats are too small anymore, but dang. That and the farts.

Yeah I find these people to be on the low end of the IQ spectrum. They try to do it getting onto the plane too. We are not leaving until the last person boards, what’s your rush with being first, Ricky Bobby? I also purposely sit in the back of the plane where the Marshal may be. I always have good conversations with that person, even if they won’t say they are a Marshal. I don’t ask either.

[Lups]

The stupid security checks. I get that people need to feel safe when they enter a tin can but they always serve meals that should be considered attempted murders so why bother patting us down?

I can't help it but those guards bring out the idiot in me. I never pack more than a backpack so one would think I'd leave all stupid crap put but nooo. I make sure they go through my stuff and I only pack things that'll make them seriously question how perverted one can be. Nobody flies with me twice.

One flight the attendant was acting like she had sand paper in her vagina.

Second flight the attendant over looked a disabled guy who needed help. Started talking about how he was annoying.

Last flight these guys were being quite racist to a lady. I intervened but they didn't even want to do anything about it.

Just got back from a business trip to Tampa... on the flight back last night from Dallas to Sacramento... the woman next to me literally farted into my mouth at least 4 times on the 3.5 hour flight. It was disgusting. She didn't even have the decency to turn on her air vent. I was trying so hard to muster one up and get back at her but no luck.

[1MOREMOD]

Why was your face in her ass?

[kscarrol]

Fart fight!!

[RickFLM4]

Is that "literally" in the traditional definition of the word or some new definition?

[1MOREMOD]

Mile high club in some sort of hot Carl fashion I'm not sure

[vladmury]

people farting and those who take off shoes and mark their teritory with those smelly feet

[FD3S]

I hate that there is no internet. If we had internet in the planes everything would be easier...

I usually have internet on my flights...

[e90335e36m3]

When they only give me a free upgrade to comfort+ and not first class, of course.

[CA330i]

People who play or allow their children to play games, music, or videos without using headphones.

I can see why!

[JimVonBaden]

You people freaked out about farting, you do know that the cabin pressure changes induces it in lots of people, right?
