I get very annoyed by people that put jackets in the overhead.


To the millions.

Do the rest of you know why I charge the aisle if possible on landing? Because there are over a hundred people on the plane that show up at the Drive Thru and are surprised they get asked for payment. You're unprepared, GTFO the way. Whether I'm connecting or not, you're not just in the way (which can be expected to some extent), you're REALLY in the way. And you don't care. Lest I repeat myself,

Minor Travel Annoyances


People who put their bags on chairs at crowded gates
Standing when the plane gets to the gate
Putting small bags in the overhead bin
Standing right at the baggage claim carousel

The boarding vultures like you mention.
The outlet hoarders.
The multiple-seat takers in crowded lounge people.
The "I didn't know muh carry-on was oversized" people.
The "toes against the carousel" baggage claim blockers.
The people that wear their neck pillow thru the airport.
People that wear pajamas in public.
People that don't shower before flying.
People that walk right up to doors for trams/elevators/etc, as if people might not be coming out.
People that step in between you and the doors to trams/elevators/etc, as if the space you allowed was left for them to take.

The worst to me is the hot-food eater on the airplane. I had the unfortunate experience of being seated next to a huge sweat-hog of a woman who was eating chicken wings and licking her fingers on the flight. Disgusting.

About 5 minutes ago. This mom complaining because the Sky Club didn’t have vegan options for her daughter.
They have fruit, veggies, oj but of course “she doesn’t like those things.”

Her complaining will be the squeaky wheel that gets addressed when most people don’t want that shot taking up space at the bar.

It’s the Sky Club not a restaurant in Austin. Stfu

Oh hell no. If you have a picky eater vegan child, bring your own goddamn food with you.

Right.
And she just had to talk about this just long enough and loud enough so we all knew.

Another annoyance. Delta’s 757. What a shite plane.

Don’t know why I get irrationally annoyed by this one. “Hey look at me, I don’t travel often, but I look like I do”.

If you take off your belt, shoes, whatever else, get the frick out of the way to put it all back on. Don't get dressed while getting your shite out of the bin used to roll it through the xray machine.

If you’re seated behind me, you’ll deplane after me—set your watch by that.

Inconsiderate dick.

People who board planes before their group, or position group on Southwest, is called and the gate agents who would rather not get into a confrontation allowing them to board anyway.

Another one:
They really should board from the back of the plane first. Monitor the overheads.
It would be so much faster.

Not really a travel annoyance, but I've noticed a few countries have covered parking at their grocery stores. Just a simple awning running down the lot.

While in the US, your car just fricking bakes in 100 degree temperatures. The US lags in this creature comfort.

In light of this, I also hate when the gate agent literally starts boarding the next group before you even have a chance to wade through the people.

Group 4 you can now boar..... and Group 5 boarding is now available.

What is this group 4 and group 5 you speak of? You should already be seated with a drink in your hand.

What sucks is getting reversed. Where you've been Precheck so long you end up at some small airport or maybe international flights back to US and they go in hard on the laptop and the plastic bags for toiletries. I don't even know how to pack like that anymore.


There are times when I'm traveling with 3 laptops, I can only imagine the mess I would cause if I couldn't go through PreCheck
