Let’s talk airline travel: What pisses you off? (2 Viewers)

[2010sarenevercoming]

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 don't do this personally, but if you can jump ahead of 7 rows, that's like 5 minutes faster to get out of the plane with all those pre-diabetics you just passed.

Being stuck sitting next to a fatty

As fate would have it…guess who just sat down next to me on this lovely regional jet??

 

[LoudHogRider]

People who talk in the terminal or plane on their phone at volume level 11.

Fuck off.

There's a REASON they don't allow telephone conversations in-the-air. The tech works just fine up there (I inadvertently failed to power down a phone on a flight from STL to OMA years ago that was in my suit jacket I flung into the overhead bin and it rang a few times on the flight home). If I have to listen to your drivel at 32,000 feet, I WILL find a way to put a plastic spork through your heart.

fat people.

if you're too fat to put the arm rests down you should be forced to pay for 2 seats, no exceptions

 

[Juro]

I fucking hate everyone except the hot chicks sitting next to me if they’re cool.

But seriously, I hate anyone who isn’t respectful and hustling a little bit.

The guy next to me right now chatting on about how small they make these seats. Uh, I’m 6’5”, so yes…and brother, you need two seats…and yes, he’s sweating. Fuck me.

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.

there's 2 things I do whenever I fly that probably piss other people off when combined

1) I buy a window seat whenever possible. so that I only have a fat slob on 1 side of me and don't have to get up for anyone else to use the restroom

2) board the plane as late as possible

I will try to be the last person on that death machine 100% of the time.

In addition to what’s already been said by most, the ass hole who uses the back of your seat to help them get up out of their seat…don’t worry pal, I’m not trying to work or sleep here, feel free to sling shot me forward in my seat so you can get up.

Flying tomorrow morning. Thanks for reminding me why I fucking hate it.

Getting Crop Dusted by someone when they walk down the isle when you have an isle seat. Their ass is basically in your face, not cool.

Gotta admit though that I take pleasure in pretending I'm asleep when letting out a Silent But Deadly. Hard not to appear asleep and not laugh when you hear people muttering "Deer Lowered who did that?"

 

[Rise to Power]

People who clap upon landing – this happens far too often on flights terminating in Omaha.

The one upside of sitting next to a fatty is everyone assumes it's them.

 

[Blakejc]

Lollygagging and/or ill-preparedness during the security process.

Listening to music or facetiming without headphones

Clogging up terminal traffic by randomly stopping in the middle of the terminal walkway

General ambivalence/disregard for others

I got an Epic Airplane Fart Story I'll share when I have more time. It's a true doozy.

I’m in the Cancún airport right now waiting to fly home…you want to talk about checking all of the boxes of what annoys you…every single one of those people mentioned in this thread is in this airport and I want to stab them all.

 

[Bootleg11]

Having to do it at all like ever

This.

I very, very rarely fly. But every time I do it, I despise it. People are rude, people don't give a shit about anybody else anymore. Flying is awful.

 

[Ripping Lips]

Listening to music or facetiming without headphones

That or talking/facetiming when on the shitter or pissing.

Gonna be flying to Cancun in a few weeks. Any specific tips with that airport, or transport from airport to hotel?
