... and people who sit/lean on my aisle seat armrest or push against my seatback while either waiting in line to get their seats, use the lav or because they have a friend behind me and spend the whole flight talking. Believe it or not I do not enjoy having your butt in my face. Why didn't you try to get seats together?
... people like the woman next to me in the window seat on a red-eye, who just HAD to talk - loudly, of course, what other way is there? - past me to her friend who stayed in the aisle, when friend finally left and I thought NOW I can get some sleep since I had to go to work the next day, don't know about her, asked if she could borrow my magazine, grabbed it before I could get an answer out, and then spent the remainder of the flight LOUDLY flipping/snapping the pages.
... I love to meet people but am sometimes pretty tired from a long trip and want to sleep on a late-night flight, how about the bored guy next to you who keeps trying to make conversation despite my short answers, wearing my headphones, finally coming right out and saying, "can we chat later I need to get some sleep", but continues to chat and ask questions anyway.
... another one from the window seat in my row who kept getting up to use the restroom, and told me she was "supposed" to get up each 20 minutes. (This is a late night x-country flight, trying desperately to sleep!) OK, but if you *know* this, why not ask for an aisle seat from the start, if you can't get one, agree to switch?
... people who just shove their way by me, even though I am before them in line, while trying to get on the plane. Hey, we are not going anywhere until we are all seated, what is your rush. Even when they shove past me on the way off - trying to make a connection? - and seeing them at the next flight, for all that shoving, I still got there before you did so what is the point of being so rude.
... last month I had the whole row, 3 seats to myself on CO, again late night flight, and so ended up with three pillows and three blankets. I laid down - on two of the pillows so it's not like it looked like I was not going to USE them! - and closed my eyes ...The woman across the aisle from me asked if she could have a pillow. OK. Try to go back to sleep, she is back looking for a blanket. Then, back for the second pillow (second pillow for HER, not for a companion, why should she have two when they were "mine" in the first place?) I gave it to her anyway but when she came back to ask for my magazine, I asked her, "is there anything ELSE you need?" I don't understand why she looked annoyed.
... getting off at Customs, near the front of the line since I had been able to get off relatively early from the premium coach seat. Really annoying woman behind me who kept getting up during the flight to rustle through her bags despite FA telling her she had to be seated, pulling/kicking my seat back, flipping tray table up and down, loud voice etc, etc. shoving by me in the customs line because she was "with group". ("group" of about 3 other women) I said, "NO! Go back and get in line, you can't do this." Did not make any difference, she shoved by me and some others to get to her "group" anyway. Of course, we all had to wait for our bags at the same carousel and mine came out first anyway. Had she asked NICELY, I would probably have let her in but it's just the unbelievable rudeness.
