Grin Grin Annoying: Getting a seat next to someone who has had a bad morning and wants to tell you about it.
Annoying: The drug sniffing dog stops next to you in check in because you have a carry on bag made of Hemp.
Annoying: The audience type heckler who has had too good of a holiday and wants to answer every anouncement from the cabin.
Annoying: The one with the weak bladder always, always, gets the window seat.

Makes me want to kill myself:  The kid on board that starts crying, then sets off a chain reaction of kids crying.


STOP FLYING WITH YOUR D*** KIDS Angry Angry Angry Angry

Window seat isn't the worst.
I remember when I was flying back from San Francisco, and I got stuck in the very middle seat of a 777, with two people either side of me. It got particularly bad when I needed the toilet and they were asleep. Grin At least I waited for them to wake up, but it was not a nice experience. Grin

Or someone I know getting questioned in Turkey after trying to bring home lots of varieties of teas in white bags along with alcohol. Grin

Strangely, that has never happened to me. Wink

Thanks for the link Davy, another fun site to poke around on. The one about irony is pretty good too. Smiley

Annoying...People in first and business class that take an hour to put their junk away blocking the aisle for us 200 cattle class passengers that just want to get to our @#$%)(*&^ seats.  Angry   2 hour flight, you don't need to set up your whole office in your seat you stupid B#$%@#$% Roll Eyes

More Annoying...when those same A#$^@#$ take an hour to gather their junk at the end of the flight.

Satisfying...making sure the corner of your bag "accidentally" smacks them as you walk by. Smiley
------------------
Annoying...When you have the window, but both your seatmates are already there, and neither one will get up forcing you to climb over them just to sit down. Angry

Satisfying...making d@mn sure you step on the offenders toes Grin

I hate that situation.  I too try to wait till they wake up if at all possible.  But you know its going to be a bad flight when your in the window seat, both your seatmates popped tranquilizers, and they are out cold before even pushing off the gate Cry  Thankfully they finally woke up 13 hours later right before I was about to just climb over them Shocked
