I also hate sitting in my aisle seat as people board and their bags continually smack into me even though I'm careful not to be in the aisle at all. Take your bags off your shoulders, people!

And the retards that wheel, bang against seat, wheel, bang against next seat (repeat until at assigned seat) all the way down the aisle. Makes me laugh though.

Things that annoy me....

How about those group 6 people who pretend not to speak english and try to board with the elite group?? And then, how about the gate agents that let them get by with it just because they don't want to say 'no'?

That only works if you don't look American.

* Checkin agents who put your baggage sticker at the back of your BP.
* Airports who don't announce which baggage carousel your bags will arrive on until you have been standing in the baggage hall for 10 minutes staring at the screen together with the rest of the pax (Yes I mean you ARN!).

People who line up in Priority or Breezeway when they are general passengers.

People who carry their dogs with them and do not keep them confined to their seat.

A lady who says "That is my spot, I was putting my bag there!" Not anymore!!!

People who take their yapping dogs on trips with them and leave them in the room barking and barking and barking, while they are out having a good time. If you don't want your dogs with you, we don't want them with us!

The solution is to board last. Simples.

The problem with this is that you may just end up with no overhead compartment space left.

If your bag doesn't fit under the seat in front of you, you are royally screwed.
