What irritates you most on a plane flight?

Being on a commercial flight in the first place.

[G35POPPEDMYCHERRY]

IF i have a carry-on and a connection..ill immediately ask the gate if I can just check it such a convenience imo. i dont mind risk of lost bag.

people who take up more their seat space and smell like standing water. id get off the flgiht than endure that smell

[aajjcc]

human noise

[zentanker]

people who think they have a right to look out the window but didn't book themselves a window seat


...then they think it's ok to lean into my personal space to get a quick look at the oh-so-fascinating topside of the clouds to which I respond by closing the shutter

[AlpineWhite_SJ]

People who can't follow flight attendant instructions (fasten seatbelt sign, carryon limits, one item in the overhead bin, etc)

People who haven't figured out their carry-on doesn't really fit in the overhead but insist on holding up the line and jamming it in there anyway

Leg spreaders/arm rest hogs

Chatty people who don't get the hint and/or spend the entire flight talking to the other person in your row

Parents who didn't bring anything for their kids to do and who make no attempt to get their kid to stop whatever bad behavior they are currently doing

[ASAP]

False airline imposed limitations of carry ons... look up AA's new basic economy fare... lol what a scam.

[Never_Enough]

My bony ass always hurts even on a 2 hr flight to FL. Also, I cannot sleep on a plane no matter what. It sucks.

[PhilipUK]

The lingering sense of violation that passing through the security theatre of airport "security" always leaves me with.

[The Reverend]

People who jockey for position and don't understand how a queue is supposed to work
People who pull my chair so they can get out of theirs. Get some leg strength goddamn it
People who simply don't understand the concept of what a carry on is
People who can never seem to work the seat back entertainment screen
And worst of all....Stewards - I know you hate your life and your job feels like Groundhog Day but screw you buddy or budette, if you hate it get another job. Now dance, monkey!

[StuP]

Carry on luggage. Check your 2 stupid oversize bags, random junk, potted plants. Don't make me wait 30 mins while you try to cram them in the overhead.

Airlines should let people with 1 carry on, like a laptop, board first.

I'd even pay money to be able to stand at the gate and send every sweaty, selfish, inconsiderate dimwit with too many / too large carry ons back to check in.

[gatorfast]

People who lean their seats all the way back (as a tall person this is terrible).

People who take their sweet time when exiting the plane and wait until the line has finally caught up to them in order to then grab their overhead bags and take their time doing so. Be prepared to exit! Takes me literally a second to grab my bag and start moving.

inpatient people,,. just because you buy ticket to fly it doesn't mean you bought airplane
I think everybody need to take chill pill before flying

That's why I arrive a little early and head straight to the bar for a couple drinks before boarding...

[thetastelingers]

A lot of irritated people here.

I go prepared.
A Book and put in some ear phones and blast some music.
Tune everything out and most everything goes away.
Except that smelly person. lol

[E46M3forRay]

- That ding sound

- Unexpected turbulence while peeing inside the lavatory. Fffuuuu

- Wet floor. Is that Pee or water?

[Mingwan]

People who think they have control over the arm rest between me and them. They will never win that fight with me. I will piss my pants before I relinquish absolute control of the arm rest.

[Flyingscotsman]

Screaming babies.. okay not really their fault, but annoying nonetheless
Seat recliners.. it's just selfish.. the person behind has feck all room
The people who undo their belts the instant the wheels touch down
The people who stand up the instant the plane comes to a halt, even though there's a HUNDRED plus people who need to get off before they can get off
Infrequent flyers going through security.. take your shit out your pockets and out your bag that you need to, and ffs.. NO YOU CANT TAKE THAT WATER YOU'VE JUST BOUGHT THROUGH, and EVERYONE behind you is really pissed off because you can't seem to understand the rules that everyone else can! And no, you can't stand there drinking it holding everyone up, just because you've paid for it...

[rad doc]

I hope all the people here who complain about crying babies or say they shouldn't fly, be blessed with the worlds most colicky screaming kids one day. Here is an idea, headphones! Seriously.

[rocket_science]

Most are covered so I'll add some that I dont think have been yet:

- Boarding - People taking their sweet ass time to sit the F down... Fumbling around with bags and pockets... Move aside so you dont hold the whole damn line up!
- Deplaning - Process jumpers - Not following the protocol of row by row and just squeeing through to get off first. Yes, we all f-ing hate waiting but you are not special.
- Deplaning - the douchebags that immediateley hop up into the aisle and start pulling thier bags down and hitting people in the head in the process. You got 20 mins yet bro... chill the F out.

Maybe if they are so blessed, they will be considerate of other passengers and not bring them onto an airplane, or will bring a set of headphones to offer to everyone else on the plane.

So you expect families with multiple children spread out over 10-15 years to just not fly? Maybe they can use a magic carpet to get overseas. Or, maybe if we were all just a bit more considerate of each other! Just what if!
