Even more annoying than infants in First Class
There is a very nice thread going on about infants in First Class. Now, I really dislike infants near me in a plane, but upon some reflection, I realized that they are only one of many annoyances. So I have made a complete list of things that annoy me in First Class.
Other than that, everyone is OK, but I do wish the airlines would fax me the passenger list for my approval.
- People flying in First Class for the first time and making a spectacle of themselves.
- Anyone who mentions their FF status to a flight attendant.
- People who speak so loudly I can hear their conversations.
- People who speak so softly that I cant eavesdrop on their conversations.
- People with bare feet.
- Couples who kiss or make out. I am very open minded, so I hate them if they are hetero or if they are two men. Ill get back to two women after I think about it for a while.
- Any person who paid less for their fare than I.
- Any person who disagrees with me on political issues.
- People who want to watch the movie and make me close the shade.
- People who keep the shade open when I want to watch the movie.
- Im still thinking about the two women.
- The bozo in the seat in front of me who reclines in my face.
- The bozo in the seat in back of me who complains when I recline in his face.
- The bozo next to me who wont shut up.
- The unfriendly bozo next to me who wont say anything.
- People who snore.
- People who use the airplane phone and say "Guess where I am?"
- People who get a gift bottle of wine when I get nothing,
- and infants.
Other than that, everyone is OK, but I do wish the airlines would fax me the passenger list for my approval.

You forgot
o Anyone sitting in an Aisle seat if I'm forced to sit in a window
o Anyone who ordered the meal I want when there isn't any left for me
o Anyone who looks happy
o Anyone who's sick
o Anyone who talks loudly enough that I can eavesdrop if the conversation is boring
As for making out/ kissing, that doesn't bother me too much. It's the oral sex that gets on my nerves.

Whilst the debate here is at such a cultural high, and such a politically incorrect level, here is the prefect juncture to post a small excerpt from:
http://www.planebusiness.com/ubb/For...ML/000062.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It goes without saying that your baby will poop massively on the plane. This must have something to do with atmospheric pressure because it never fails. Each year, more baby poop is produced on airplanes than in all of Portugal. Fortunately, most planes have a little changing shelf in the bathroom, which is the perfect size for a baby, provided that it is a baby gerbil. For human babies, you have to use the seat, which then must be burned when the plane lands. The only really practical place to change a baby on an airplane would be on the wing, but of course you can't take the baby out there. The other passengers would never let you back inside.

- Sitting next to the old bald guy, when there's a fine female one row up and 2 seats over.
- When that same old guy gets drunk
- When the drunk old guy insists on telling me that he knows a lot of "colored" people just like me
- When that same, old, drunk, redneck, racist guy tells me that his "best friend growing up was black"
Oops I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bore all of you with the details of my last trip to Munich from San Francisco

Anyone who wheels/carries on luggage that they otherwise cannot handle, whether because they are too short, small, old, weak or inept, or because they have packed their entire bullion collection, and then expects that I should stop whatever I may be doing in order that I should get up and help them stow everything in the otherwise unreachable overhead bins.

Something my mother taught me a long time ago when I was potty-training was to sit down on the toilet when I had to slash. That way you don't whiz on your leg or on the floor when the room is moving or spinning, whatever the reason for balance instability.
Works wonders in the plane lav as well as at the homes of friends.
I still wouldn't go into the lav shoeless as not many other people follow this sensible and sanitary rule.

With all these ppl in mind, I have one more for ya'll
A person who is so friendly to his/her other seat mate you would think they know each other but they don't, and then when the other person sleeps, he/she won't speak to me at all.
