[quote="Beast of the East" post=304460][quote="mjmaherjr" post=304412][quote="Beast of the East" post=304404]I hate when people in the middle row think they own the arm rest.
I hate people in front if me who recline their seats fully with no regard for the fact that their head is almost in my lap.
I hate how very obese men essentially take 1/3 of the seat on either side if them when they are in the middle row. At a certain size you should be forced to buy 2 seats[/quote] if the Karma button was still here I'd be giving you and 1996 +10000 on the airplane ones. What about the person who tries reclining their seat before the plane even takes off. No joke ask Nathalie it happens to me on almost every flight if I dont have emergency row of that first row with the wall in front. I move my knees into their seat when I see them about to do it and prevent them from moving it back all the way and make their lives miserable[/quote]
I do that too with my knees. I
Other tips: direct you air vent so it blows on their head full blast.
Start coughing. Dry cough if you are respectful and a productive cough if you are really pissed.
Grab the top of their seat when you get up to host yourself up. It's another one of my pet peeves, people who do that. Its annoying as hell, but a good weapon.
Other pet peeves
1. Its taken me over 30 years to amass 1.95 million miles on American, I automatically am in group 1, but it seems there are 8 groups in front of me.
2. Jet blue's crazy boarding system. I've flown them almost exclusively this year but almost always am in group D, except a few days ago when I was in group E.
3. Passengers in back rows who put their luggage in the overhead bin above my seat.
3. Late boarders who try to force their bag into the compartment where your stuff is. I've had 2 laptop screens cracked over the years this way.
4. Despite the fact that my tumi bag fits as packed into every single overhead bin, a few airlines enfirce it having to fit in that metal frame size. United does it, and American too. I wont fly either any more.
5. Delays where they don't tell you why there is a delay, then keep moving back the departure time.
6. Getting a delay text while you haven't departed yet for the airport, so you wait at home or in your hotel, only to have the airline change the departure time to earlier than the adjusted time.
7. Rude and curt flight attendants.
8. People who chat loudly the entire flight especially on evening or very early a.m. flights.
9. People with kids the size of baby elephants who use them as lap child.
10. Couples who ask if you'd like to change your aisle seat for a middle seat so they can sit together.
11. Seat kickers and parents who don't control their kids.
12 Passengers who engage in long conversations at service desks when they are arguing for something impossible to accomodate.
13. Getting stuck next to someone with very bad hygiene and a foul odor.
14. Hall monitors sitting next to you who tell you to shut your cell phone off. I had a guy who told me to do that as the plane landed and was nasty about it. So I told him to put his seat belt back on as we taxied to the gate. He got mad again, so I said to him, "oh, I see, rules are for everybody else just not for you.
I can go on[/quote] I love #10. I have done it for children sitting with parents but a grown couple? Great so now I have a middle seat and get to listen to you guys chat for the next 6 hours. Ain't happening. One of the worst words coming out of the guy sitting next me.. excuse me, can I get the extension seatbelt. I know I am spending the next 6 hours half way into the aisle and that guys got some hard to reach places that no one has cleaned in a long time.
