Let’s talk airline travel: What pisses you off?

[MtnHusker]

The SWA crew doing their comedy routine. They did this once on a flight when we were delayed 8 hours due to SWA computer issues and I wanted to grab the yoke from the pilot and fly us into a mountain.

People that recline their seats back at the exact second you're allowed to. Oh yeah, I get to recline back 5 degrees! I couldn't wait for it.

Person that blows up the bathroom. I had to go real bad once and the bathroom looked like someone was murdered in there. I wasn't going to go in because I didn't want people to think it was me. I told the flight attendant to see if they could clean it up and she acted like I was requesting we land the plane in a different city. Sorry sir, can't be done. Go to the bathroom or don't.

My flight to Alaska was cancelled but they were able to get me on the last seat on the next flight. Isle seat in the last row, right new to the bathroom. And as luck would have it the woman in the middle seat was probably only 5 ft tall but easily over 300 lbs. As expected her boyfriend was rail thin and poor dude was pinned up against the window. She spilled into both of our seats. Nice woman who apologized profusely for being so fat. Other issue was basically I had to partially hang out into the isle which put my head even closer to the bathroom doors which was right next to me. I heard things I can't unhear and smelled things I can't unsmell. I swear one guy must be dying inside to have those noises and that smell come out of him.

As a regular traveler for work, I’ve got a list a mile long…let’s start this off with…

The family of 20, like the entire family and extended family that boards with the one person in the wheelchair whom I happen to also see during ticketing moving around like a cheetah on the Serengeti right up to boarding…really?

…one more…guy with bag, extra bag, and backpack who walks down the aisle taking everyone out with his bags and then proceeds to bitch that he can’t fit all his crap in the overhead bin.

And go!

@lee_carvallo_12 HATES people that check bags. He wants them @dead

Mostly the way people dress and act. Society is an absolutely selfish lazy sloppy mess right now.

And when people rush the aisle when the plane is unloading. The airlines need to put a stop to it

You'd only have to shoot one person and the behavior would end forever

 

[Baron Winnebago]

People who while boarding put their bag in their seat while standing in the aisle to dig out their headphones and whatever else, completely blocking the aisle and the rest of the passengers from boarding.
Get that shit out before you even get to the ticket scan, or at least sit down to do that instead of blocking the whole fucking plane. I hate people so god damn much

Let me store all the shit I know I'm going to use in flight in this combination locked compartment under a false bottom in my carry on.


People who crowd me in the security line piss me the fuck off too. The line will only go so fast, don't be a fucking jerkoff who shows up 11 minutes before your plane takes off and act like it's my problem to get you on it.

This is all too accurate. Airports/airplanes made me keenly aware of how many people are out there just walking around in desperate need of a shit.

Landing/Getting off the plane - People who stand up and rush forward as soon as the plane hits the gate. Where in the flying fuck do you think you're going? Congrats on getting 8ft closer to the front of the plane from row 36.

I want to kill that person. At the very least throw an elbow.

 

[Jim14510]

People in first class thinking that means they get to cut in line everywhere in the airport. Convenience shop, restaurant, etc.

 

[Jim14510]

The temptation was strong, Brother Lee. She was a cutie, very fit, and a playful personality. However ... it WAS on Good Friday, and the karma felt really bad. Her final act on my deplaning was to press her telephone number into my hand with a cheerful "Call me!". I knew what the right thing to do was, and dropped it in the first garbage can in the concourse on my way through the terminal.

Loser

I stood up to block a black woman from rushing up the aisle once. It was obvious that I did it on purpose. She threw a fit.

I’m with you, the only time I’ll stand up is when some fucktard is trying to sneak their way up a couple isles.

No one deserves to cut in that line of misery.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

I don't know why I didn't start wearing a mask when I flew even prior to the pandemic given how many unwashed cretins you're exposed to in airports.

 

[klrgumby]

I can’t say I saw this one but people who recline their seat. Now if there isn’t anyone behind you that’s one thing but for me my knees are already in the back of your chair. If you even try and lean back those knees are going hard into your back with a few extra nudges to let you know it ain’t happening.

Reclining airplane seats (at least the kind in coach) are up there for the most useless invention of all time

 

[deltau46]

I know it was mentioned earlier, but after running through the Denver airport earlier this evening to make my connecting flight, those worthless sacks of shit who stand on the left of the walkway…move out of the way!

Also the lack of urgency by people to get their bag out of the overhead and go, not everyone has ample time to lollygag while you’re too short to get your bag down and let your toddler run free down the aisle while you get your bags. Fuck me.

Oh and TSA… my backpack got stuck in the X-ray tonight, made me almost miss my connection; took 8 minutes to get the X-ray going again because some cock sucker behind me didn’t put his jacket in a plastic bin and the coat got stuck where one conveyor belt ends and the next one begins. I wish I had my phone to take a picture of these clowns, they were pushing a big cane through the machine trying to get stuff out and get the coat unstuck. I nearly lost my mind.

 

[iruletheskool]

I hate literally everything about flying. The drive to the airport, paying for parking, checking bags, security that flags me for sweat or checks my stroller for cocaine, walking 10 miles to my gate, sitting at the gate with wal mart shoppers, riding in a flying box with the same while having no control, delays, lost bags, flight attendants trying too hard for laughs, people laughing at the flight attendant, bags not fitting, the one time they made my 2 yr old put on a mask despite the trauma it caused her, running the annoying cart just to offer water, waiting to get off the plane, connecting flights always as far as possible away in the airport, waiting to get bags, riding across the moon with all my crap to the rental car stand, getting to my destination later than if I would of driven, having to do it all again to get home, etc, etc.

 

[Cookiemonster]

Honestly any one 6’2 and up should get an emergency seat or seat with extra leg room. Flying is miserable on the knees.


The people that are loud on planes or don’t let you just pass out on while you are on Xanax.

As someone who gets miserably sick flying, people that don’t turn the air on, or eat smelly food on the plane.

At this point does anyone really need to see how to put on a fucking seatbelt. I’ve heard it so many times at this point I want to fight flight safety regulators.

When people ask to sit with someone with no concept that some seats cost extra.

Nothing worst than seeing someone 5’3 sit in an emergency exit on a packed flight.

I travel at minimum once a month for work for a week at a time and the fact that there are almost 0 direct flights out of Omaha or lincoln makes me rage.


Thanks for reminding me how much I hate flying and the populace at large.

1. Southwest Airlines and their shitty boarding process. I refuse to fly them regardless of how cheap their tickets are.

2. Anybody who brings more than 1 carry on bag with a personal bag. I feel that overhead bins should go away and if you bag can't fit underneath the seat in front of you, then check it in. Would expedite the boarding process IMO.

3. People who are flying sick.

4. People who asked to get seated together because they were cheap when they booked tickets.

You were on a roll until 3. What are you a germaphobe
