Things that annoy you as an airline passenger

[7-Eleven]

1. People who sit in front, who feel more comfortable reaching their hand over to grasp the top of their headrest, not caring that their fat greasy fingers are about to insert themselves in to my nose. I am still working out how to deal with it, next flight (despite being a non smoker) I will be taking a lighter with me.

 

2. Cabin crew who do not enforce rules like "Turn off all electronic devices" and "return seat backs to vertical" leaving some twats to play around with their iPads and iPhones, as we make a tricky approach through a thunderstorm in the dark. I appreciate that this will not necessarily lead to a fiery death but still.

 

3. People who are seated somewhere in the back, who leave their hand luggage in the overhead bins up front so it saves them the effort of taking it to the back with them. Twats.

 

4. People who, having stowed their luggage behind them for whatever reason, make their way back through against the flow of tired, fractious passengers to retrieve their luggage, and then believe they have the right to make their way to the front of the queue. No, dickhead, I am in front of you now.

 

5. People who play music to themselves through leaky earphones so you get tst, tst, tst, tst, tst, tst all the way to your destination.

 

6. When you are first off the plane and prepared to make a dash for immigration and beat the queues, you see that there is a bus to take you from the aircraft to the terminal and that you will be engulfed by the plebian hordes.

 

7. When on said bus you try and work out which door will open first and manoeuvre into an advantages position, only for the bus to make an unexpected turn that means the door doesn't open. Twatty twat twats.

 

8. Babies. There is no reason whatsoever to take anyone abroad under the age of 2 and thats being generous.

 

9. Twats who think its okay to recline their seat without warning/while you are eating. Twats.

 

10. The muppets who cannot leave their seat without grabbing the back of yours in the row in front, and using it as some sort of springboard.

 

11. Other passengers

 

12. The fucking morons who clap when the plane lands... I don't receive applause when I arrive at my desk.

 

13. Stinky fuckers.

 

14. Fat people who overflow into my seat.

 

15. People who keep the lights on when everyone else is trying to sleep.

 

18. Announcements made in 46 different fucking languages.

 

I'm sure there are more...

Super post, very well written and illustrated.. Censor and clean it up a bit for public consumption, and offer it to a travel magazine or a freelance agent.

 

Serious advice, by the way. Been there, done it, got the T shirt.

[Falang Sap]

19.  Little kids that sit behind you and kick the back of your seat..

[Shaksey]

Agree with them all

 

Will add some later when I have time to have a think...

[tt2008]

Solution to the above - fly Business Class - if it upsets you that much, its worth the extra cost!!

I'm sorry mate you feel like that.

 

Last October whilst the misses and baby was here in the UK i was successful in getting my baby a UK passport (though born in thailand) and was also successful whilst in thailand in getting the misses a settlement visa in April whilst in the kingdom. My baby will be one years old next week.

 

I would like to be able to raise my child, so they are flying next friday on EVA Air alone as i can not get there to accompany them back to the UK.

 

From your post i guess we should be a split family i guess and i shouldn't get to see my child. It's sad as i have just missed her learning to walk.

 

I think there's every reason why a child under 2 will have to fly.

The family from hell , mum , dad and brat with feet that stunk ,shouting with earphones on for 5 hours and managed to wake me up even after taking a sleeping pill anyway I lost it and gave them a mouthful haha not a peep out of them for the rest of the flight much to Socrates amusement as he was sitting behind me

[Touchagrey]

20. People who request cheese with their whine ;-)

[mikeyboy]

Wankers who insist on hand luggage of gigantic proportions , and then struggle to get their fucking monster bags stored .   Double  Wankers !!

15. People who keep the lights on when everyone else is trying to sleep

 

Oops sorry, that's me!!  

 

I can't sleep on a flight.  Well, I suppose I could, it's just a huge hassle unless I want to find my contact lenses stuck to my eyeball when I wake up.  So, on night flights, I read.

 

Most of my gripes would come from the fact that I'm 1.9m tall, and trying to cram that all comfortably into a cattle-class seat is problematic enough as it is.  Anything that reduces my space, like the guy in front who's got his seat on full layback before we've even taken off, is a Royal Pain.

 

Kids are annoying, but I understand that.  Sometimes you just have to take them with you.  Please check with me first to make sure you take a different flight from mine.  

 

The most irritating thing for me personally on any flight is general lack of manners.  The marathon runners who try to be first to the head of every queue, including to get on the the flight.  The guys who want all the arm-rests to themselves and thereby spend the trip with their elbows in their neighbours ribs.  The dorks who can't read the 'engaged' sign on the toilet doors and keep trying to force the door open whilst you're inside trying to have a discreet fart.  You get the picture I'm sure....

 

But on the whole, the most annoying thing about air travel is the whole flight home.  Now that's really annoying.

 

Cheers

Couldn't agree more! But I will take it one step Further, ANYBODY who kicks the back of my seat!!

7/11 U ARE THE BIGGEST CULPRIT FOR NUMBER 13.

[must_tang50]

Having my luggage lost is a tad bit irritating too!

[geezerrb]

Sorry if I missed this one, it may be all those who don't travel that well but then pick a window seat and insist on opening the shutter/blind as soon as they see daylight so if you can sleep without help or are using the entertainment, you suddenly get startled. No problem with anyone using their overhead light sensibly but the fascists that decide the cabin must be bathed in sunlight at the earliest opportunity without consideration for fellow passengers, it shows the change in people who are used to LH flights, me, me me. 

[boob_kook]

That one stupid b*tch who will leave the light on or open the blinds and wake everyone up.

Getting blocked by the window and having to fight your way out to use the lavatory.

The food!! No, I don't want beans cooked in Indian curry on an airplane.

Traveling on a a flight with a group of tourists, everyone knows everyone and everyone's carrying the largest piece of cabin luggage allowed, not to mention the duty free shopping.



 

[Daddee]

I really don't like the guys who try to move ahead in the cabin when deplaning...  the second the seatbelt sign goes off they are moving forward, jamming up the aisle so you cannot even step out to get your overhead stuff...

 

wait your fucking turn, retard!

[QuotaMan]

Solution to the above - fly Business Class - if it upsets you that much, its worth the extra cost!!

Amen.

 

While cost is big I agree, well worth it if you cab afford it or get a rare upgrade.

 

Interesting how just a change in class eliminates most of the peeves on list.

[FROST MEDIC999]

Kids kids and kids did i say Kids ? little Bastard Hate them

 

I fly at the front of the plane to get away from them not to have the fuckers sat near me in Biz God i hate kids plus the stupid old coffin dogers who fuck around

I tried this - flew EVA 1st Class on the way home last trip - yes, it was a very restful flight with the bed-seats. 

 

Ran into point #6 above once we landed in LAX... 

[HappyGuy99]

Things that piss me off on a plane.

Crying kids,

Fat people, Smelly people.

Person sitting next to me with a snotty cold.

Drunk people,

Dirty plane, Broken seat. Not enough room.

The way the airline companies treat people worse than cattle in economy class. That's why I only fly Business class.

[Davie Duke]

Planes that have stewards and old stewardesses.

Planes that have young stewardesses that wear clothes.

Planes that have young stewardesses that do not perform in-flight sexual favors.

 

This plane that is always fully booked!

[Helloblackshirt]

The dipshits that aren't capable of thinking ahead and Hold up the boarding process by going through their bag once they get to their seat.
