Dicks who fly commercial jets into buildings so that everyone has to endure security measures that are minimally effective.

Everything related to flying is a pet peeve except for the actual takeoff.

There is one answer to this thread, and it’s Chicago.

Panicky dudes who think your phone on airplane mode is going to disrupt the plane’s electronics and cause a crash.



Can someone explain this to me then? Because I'm definitely one of those panicky dudes though I stay silent about it. Had a douchebag on one flight start making phone calls at 30k feet once and I thought I was going to die.

What's the point of airplane mode?

People who block the aisle for several minutes while they perfectly situate their carryon in the overhead.

Fats


People who don't like fat people. I didn't make the seats that small and they are too much of a pussy to say anything to me about it so I get the occasional passive aggressive looks.

I always think boy I've eaten meals bigger than you. I wish you should try some shite with me

Airplane mode is pretty much useless in a digital world. It mattered when everything was still analog. At least thats my understanding.

This. It's always foreigners that basically run up to the front from the back of the plane the second it parks.

I stand up and block the isle until the people in the rows in front of me have collected their luggage and left. If impatient dipshit is right behind me, I will let the people in the window seat in my isle out first too. And help them with their overhead luggage.

If it had a chance of causing the planes to crash do you really think they'd let you even bring your phone on the plane? Half the people on there are morons, they aren't gonna risk one of them not turning it on airplane mode if it was a real problem.

Had a flight once with some Amish couple in front of me and their baby. It was an hour and a half flight and the guy got up at least 15 times to get something out of one of their 5 bags in the overhead. They used the overheads on both sides of the aisle. He had this long trench coat he kept taking on and off in the aisle that would blow his smell around each time. Right after the pilot said we were descending the guy got up and pulled out a huge ziplock full of some sort of bread that smelled horrible. Didn't eat any of it. Just stood in the aisle redistributing it into smaller bags for some reason. The baby was actually the least annoying thing about them.

My #1 (which I think is actually the fault of the airline) is the families with kids where each person has a rolling carry-on, a duffel bag or backpack, and a full sized pillow/stuffed animal. The concept of carry-on luggage was for people who weren't taking long trips and didn't need a huge suitcase. It is perfect for couples, solo travelers, and business travelers. It becomes a massive fail when a nearby business traveler has to courtesy check their carry-on because the family of 5 used up all of the bin space around him.

This is the airlines' fault for charging for checked luggage. It is the strangest thing to me. They practically beg you to check your bags throughout the entire process, but they're not incentivizing it when they charge people for it. That family has nowhere to be when the plane lands. Quit encouraging them to stuff the cabin of the plane with as much shite as possible.

Fat people are ruining this country. We'll truly make America great again by encouring people to stop being fat asses.

Hop on a treadmill fat frick

To answer the question: people standing up immediately after getting to the gate and people sticking small purses or back packs in the over head compartments when they can just throw those bags under their seats. No there’s no room for larger carryons you stupid frick
