Hello all. Long time reader, first time poster from Vancouver, B.C. (YVR)

Pet peeve #1 on any flight: I'm taking a nap, reading a book or otherwise concentrating on something, and some neanderthalic troglodyte tromps down the aisle and uses my headrest as a support for his or her ungainly weight. This causes my chair to catapult my head forward. The last time this happened I was woken up from a much-needed sleep and I came close to completely snapping. I spoke up and asked the thoughtless twerp if he could please not yank on my headrest as he strode by, and he gave me a bleary-eyed "f**k-off-and-die" sneer.

When he came back from the washroom I stopped him and explained to him in no uncertain terms that if he did it again, I'd assume someone was trying to attack me in my sleep and I might gouge out an eye or two. My warning worked after a fashion. He continued to grab people's headrests as he tromped down the aisle, but specifically avoided mine after he met my less-than-friendly gaze.

Anyone else run into this kind of thoughtless jerkishness?
