People who walk through security with every metal object known to man.
People who decide to remove their shoes, belt, and laptop just before the detector.
Idiots who stand in line at the gate counter with their boarding pass just to ask if they need a boarding pass.
"No speakey english" foreigners in group 5 who rush the gate when F is called, then stand there blocking everyone else after being told that their group wasn't called.
Parents who board early because of their 9 year old "toddlers". :mad:
Parents who block the boarding line with their Cadillac sized strollers, car seats, and military sized diaper bags.
People who put their bags in the F overhead bins even though they're sitting in the deep depths of Y.
People who put their feet (with or without shoes) on the bulkhead. Especially in F.
Pax that walk around the plane and into the lav in socks/barefoot. :eek:
Idiots who use my seat back to get up or sit down.
Y pax who use the F or J lav.
The hordes of trained monkeys that flip on their cell phones after landing.
The "Yes, we just landed" or "Guess what? I'm in First" conversations of almost all cell phone monkeys.
The know-it-alls who proclaim "This is a 747" to their wife/kids even though they're seated on a 757.
Parents that don't control their dammed kids. YOU PEOPLE SUCK!
Parents that change diapers on the seat back tray or on the floor. Trailer trash!
People who stuff tissues and other trash in the seat back pockets.

I don't think those are peeves, but issues :p

My biggest pet peeve is when people don't board with their row numbers and look astounded when the FA tells them to get out of the way and wait - row 45 is NOT FC, thank you very much.

The person in the seat behind you places their shoes or bare feet on the top of your headrest.

The person in the seat behind you places their shoe or bare foot on your armrest and you find out it is there when your elbow hits either the bottom of the shoe or the bottom of the bare foot.

The person sitting in the bulkhead row of first class has their bare feet leaning upward against the bulkhead during mealtime.

Someone flying with a cold without taking a cough suppressant.

The seat in the restroom will not stay up without you holding it with one hand.

Guess I am an easy passenger. My pet peeve has to do with a cabin which is either too hot or too cold. Many of the other pet peeves mentioned just seem to go with the airline territory and experience of flying.

Yes...but the other 100 people behind you received their drinks before you (some WELL before you) and their drinks are empty. You don't have to give it up, you know...just wait until s/he comes by again for trash! :p

Your rear is in my face

I'm usually lucky and get an aisle so I almost alwyas experience this: right as the chime sounds that it's safe to unfasten your seatbelt, there's the person across from me who immediately stands to access the overhead bin, twisting and turning, all the while backing up their posterior into my personal space. Since I am seated, and s/he is standing, I've got a great view of someone's travel-worn bottom. Ugh.

That is a very extensive and well thought out list ByrdluvsAWACO.

I have to add: passengers who put their rollaboards sideways when they clearly will fit lengthwise and there are examples around them.

Ha ha, indeed an awesome list ByrdluvsAWACO!

But on your next flight, remember to breathe and calm yourself . ;)

I would if it wasn't for my in-flight meditation. ;)

People who put their feet (with or without shoes) on the bulkhead. Especially in F.

I must be going numb. This one used to bug me to no end. Would you do this at home, or in a restaurant? Perfectly normal people do this on EVERY FLIGHT.
It happens so much I can't remember the last time I didn't see it.

As already mentioned, people pulling in your seat to get up is really annoying.

But also passengers putting their carry-on in the overhead locker and then closing the locker even though it is only half full.

Brad Pitt to Edward Norton, Fight Club, "Azz or crotch?"

Sharing armrests

I know it's a bit tough, but I try to shae armrests regardless of whether i sit aisle, window, or, god forbid, the middle. I take the half that's on my side, and allow the other half for my seatmate. Sometimes elbows rub, or someone has a little more than the other, but this generally works.

Forgot about this one.

Passengers who get up to use the washroom as soon as the attendants serve drinks...standing behind them impatiently wondering why they are not moving over for them.
