2. People who board in groups and stand in the aisle negotiating where everyone is going to sit. "I want the window." "No, I want the window." "Well, where should we put our carry-ons?" Meanwhile, 200 people are lined up behind them. 3. Before the TSA restrictions, people who seemed to pack the entire contents of their houses into their carry-ons and crowded out the rest of us who just had a small daypack. 4. Being forced to pull down the window shades on an international flight, especially when there's interesting scenery outside (e.g. Canadian Rockies, Alaska Coast) AND it's already morning at our destination. Having flown trans-Pacific for thirty years, I am with those who feels that having a dark cabin impedes my adjustment to the time difference. My personal opinion is that the FAs like having the passengers groggy because it keeps them from becoming too demanding. |

And another one, people who stand up the moment the plane stops and then stand there jostling for space with all the other ones who have just stood up.....

Wow! I think every pet peeve of mine has been covered, and I had about twenty of them! :D

The funny thing was that he was so short that his feet didn't even touch the ground, so there really was no reason that he couldn't have placed in on the floor under the seat in front of him.

I agree. Think of an airplane as a bus or a subway car but the one that flies.
Sure, it does cost more but it gets you to your destination faster, doesn't it?

The biggest pet peeve I have is the general uncivility that abounds air travel. The fact is if you are traveling in coach, its an uncomfortable ride that has a similar effect on all passengers regardless of status. What makes it worse is surly attitudes (ie I didn't get my upgrade, have to sit next to someone that is big, has children, or thinks they own the arm rest.) We need to start looking at air travel for what it is, a mass public conveyance full of annoyance. I try and smile and be courteous to all, even when they think they own the arm rest.

Frequent flyers who think they are the only ones on the face of the Earth, and everybody else is flying for the first time.
Business travelers who think they are more important than everyone else and more entitled to whatever, just because they are working. People travel for a million reasons, so the "non-business" travelers are not always traveling for pleasure. |

Luggage carousel hugger.
TSA :) When I travel with a family member one person gets bags from the carousel and the other (s) hangs back and guard the carryons and DutyFree :D My pet peeve: Not wiping out the sink in the lav after your done. I wipe it down before using and then leave it clean for the next person... |
1. Everyone who feels the need to hit me while boarding the plane with their elbow, foot, backpack, roll-aboard... after i sit down in my aisle seat.
2. Gate Lice 3. Group 1s who are more important than me and my Group 1 boarding pass |

I have seen this more on interior flights in parts of Africa where it is possible that some of these people have never seen a door before (I kid you not). I recall one time opening a bathroom door that was clearly "Vacant" and seeing an old guy bent over doing the post dump scrape, now that spoils your day.....

Okay, I find this interesting...I am glad I am not the only flier who thinks of these things.
1. People who are inconsiderate as they walk my aisle seat and spill coffee on my cashmere sweater, then hit me on the head with their carry-ons while placing them in a FC overhead bin while they are seated in coach. 2. FAs who don't do their job, don't offer pre-flight drinks, and are generally lazy 3. People who are in a middle seat and complain, then ask me to pull down my shade because it "bothers them." Sorry buddy, you should have gotten the window. If I am seated at the window, I control the shade! 4. Travelers who complain about issues that are out of anyones control, such as weather delays or mechanical. Wouldn't you rather get to your destination safely? 5. Airlines who don't fully communicate the reason for delays, then fail to keep the waiting passengers updated. 6. FAs who spill drinks on you and just say "oh sorry"...shouldn't they do better than that? Like try to help you mop up the mess? 7. People who still can't figure out the TSA rules 8. People who put their boarding pass on the security belt and then hold up the checkpoint line while their boarding pass comes out on the other side. 9. People who make up silly excuses for why they can't sit in the middle seat and then complain the whole flight that you won't change seats with them. 10. BO or old lady perfume, or old man cologne...just say NO to this if you are going to be traveling 11. LOUD TALKERS 12. People who talk on their phone after the door is closed, then argue with the FAs regarding the issue (I've seen this a lot lately.) Give me a first class window anytime...I'm happy there and please to say I spend a lot of time in window seats. I'll quit ranting now. Cheers! |
