I've seen someone drink the monopole in the CE cabin. I was disgusted and only just managed to keep my breakfast down.

OMG it was me, and I usually make sure I take a couple of bottles with me!

Their parents were across the aisle and despite many complaints from many passengers their children's behaviour continued. The children then started jumping from their seats to the spare seat across the aisle by their parents pretending the centre was hot lava. I had never been so annoyed.
Surely in your whole life you might have been more annoyed? Surely......I really hope so or...

In CE LHR-AMS (post Monopole so couldn't fall back on champagne). 2 people in the row in front ordered London Pride and no cans left for me.

Actually, I've been quite lucky on board

My worst lounge experience is some woman decided to sit opposite me and start peeling dead skin off her feet and then left it on the floor.

How about:

1. (man) Spitting up phlegm onto his meal tray
[Edited by Moderator per FT Rules]
3. (woman) Bleeding on the toilet seat and leaving it

Did you post about your encounter with the TOWIE cast in the celebrities thread?

Most definitely separate flights.

I'm glad I've not encountered that (although I've seen 1 in non-BA situations). Hope it wasn't all the same flight!

A rather self important executive in F (or whatever you call pudgy old men in pinstripe suits these days) throwing his hot towel at the poor CC because it was "too hot". I resisted the urge to berate him as the poor man was already confused enough as to why a twenty something guy in jeans was sat across from him in 1K

Other than that, plenty of kids who will grow up to be good mountain climbers one day. Then there's the ear wax, the bare feet, the creative uses of air sickness bags, ... list goes on!

This topic has been moved from the BA forum to here as it is a general topic rather than being BA-specific.

I have seen 1 many times, and 3 many times. Not yet seen 2, thankfully.

One of the horrible behaviours I have seen (I have seen many but this one sticks in my mind as being pretty disgusting) was a woman who changed her baby in the seat during meal time and handed the dirty nappy to a member of the cabin crew doing meal service and told (not asked) her to dispose of it.

When the crew member politely declined saying that she was doing a meal service and was unable to oblige for hygiene reason, the woman got pretty nasty with her.

Unbelievable behaviour on so many levels and a shameful example of a parent.
