All the idiot had to do was go to the bathroom and poop. This was not a constant gas, get up, sit down, get up again situation. It was quite obvious he ate something that didn't agree with him. He was about to poop his pants and decided just sitting there and passing horrible gas for 6 hours was a better idea than just getting up and going.

The guys on an early morning MAN-CDG flight who decided to explain the intricacies of dogging to me, and asked if I wanted to partake in a spit roast......
And they managed that on the ascent and the descent, as I took the coward's way out and pretended to be asleep for most of the flight

Not necessarily annoying, but I regularly see people getting on the plane walking through First Class looking for their seat. Boarding pass says 34J. They look at the first row, "1". Go to the next row. Stop. Look at the row. "2". One row at a time until they get to the end of First Class. They see the smaller seats, stop and start looking at row numbers in First Class again. Just in case the airline accidentally stuck row 34 between rows 2 and 3.

The person who sat in the middle seat next to me although the window seat was empty. ...?
Or...
The guy who was nearly enraged at me because I didn't want to trade my (reserved well in advance) aisle seat for a window on a 9hr trans-atlantic flight.

I once traveled from IST to EZE,apr 18 hour flight,I chose,as always a window on the right side.After I tucked in, this great big russian guy comes and sits down in the aisle,thats OK offcs. Problem is only this,there were 2 seats unocupied in the middle row imediately adjacent to us,so I sugest to him that he mowe to one of them and we both enjoy 2 seats,after all he wanted an aisle,I wanted window,so ideal for both of us. Oh,no,that was impossible,so I had to mowe to the middle row.
Now this TK plane has got theese horrible entertainment boxes under almost all seats,including the ones the scumbag hounded me out of,but NOT including the ones he hounded me into,so I had the considerable pleasure of seing the big .... wigling around for close to 18 hours,trying to comfortably fit his oversized legs into his 2 stolen seats while ocasionally asking him abouth his comfort levell.
I am a foreigner living permanently in Turkey,so I chatted up up a couple of FA abouth the big sh...,in fairly fluent turkish,TK FAs tend to take a liking to foreigners who are able to comunicate with them in their language,so the result were sneers for the scumbag and forgotten requests for water etc for the entire flight. A memorable experience indeed !!!!

The shortcomings of the Frogs and the Russkies are scientifically proven, but 98% of Americans are too stupid to even locate Lebanon on a map, so it is dangerous to make fun of people who may or may not be white in their meager knowledge.

I have had excellent luck with seat mates, I've sat next to wonderful people (knock on wood) who are either fun and interesting to chat with or keep to themselves. The only annoying thing I've encountered at close proximity is migraine inducing perfume and cologne.

This guy declined an offer to make a flight more comfy for both of us because he wanted the 2 seater to himself and understood that I would mowe to the empty seats in the centre 4 seater,thats realy ...... behaviour to me,for once I aplaud TK cabin crew!!When I asked him abouth doing the obvious thing which was to mowe to the empty seats he started muttering abouth liking it better where he was,(and I stress that he would have had an empty seat next to himself) knowing that I would mowe before anybody else would do the same,offcs as I mowed to the middle section he imediatelly headed for the window of the 2 seater,the best place in coach on a 2-4-2 if there is nobody in the aisle seat(that is baring the unlikely event of getting a whole 4 seater to yourself,offcs.)-thats ...... behaviour to me,if ever anything is!!! But,offcs,you might disgree,thats OK.
