If I want a cup of Coke or orange juice I would have bought it before I got on the hour and a half flight. How this became a thing I'll never know...is it just busy work for the attendants?
The air in the cabin is EXTREMELY dry and low pressure. You lose water like a motherfricker. People that were fine on the ground can begin dehydrating in the cabin's environment, so the drinks are meant to help head that off. Eating the little bag of snacks works your jaw, opening and closing your eustachian tubes to equalize the pressure in your ears once you reach altitude. Some people have trouble doing this on their own, and the stimulation from eating a couple of pretzels can help to relieve ear discomfort.
Plus, it pisses you off, so that's just an added bonus.

I'm going to start an airline. There will be half the seats as usual, tickets will be twice the price, a verified minimum score on a company chosen IQ test will be required to board, and no passengers under the age of 13 will be allowed.
This will be the company's dress code for stewardesses.

Either very large people oozing into my seat with me, or kids running crazy on an early morning flight.
I had a 3 hour flight at 6 am a few weeks ago and the toddler behind me was unbuckled and banging into my seat. Luckily I found an empty seat that I was able to move to once i realized the bastard wasn't going to sleep.

Sitting next to a smelly fatty who reads my text messages and then starts sobbing til a white knight shows up to comfort her.

This.
You think you’re gonna recline your seat to the maximum, crushing my legs in the process, and then take a nice peaceful nap until we land? Think again.

The worst offense I can remember other than some woman not able to keep her baby from screaming for a good while was during an early AM flight. Probably 5am, still completely dark outside.
Everyone had their lights off except one woman who was trying to show the person next to her some Jesus pictures she drew or some shite.
Lady, it’s 5 in the morning and we all have work today. No one cares about your stupid Jesus pics. Turn out the fricking light so we can sleep.

This is why head phones are the best. You can ignore them and not feel bad.

You need to fly on better airlines.

Yeah, but those tend to have the more dangerous chemtrails.
Everything's a tradeoff.

When that can be the difference between making or missing my connecting flight I am that person.
Most of my other flying issues were solved by getting DHS Global Entry with TSA Pre check, Bose noise canceling headphones, and bringing my own snacks and water.

BR is great. If MSY doesn’t offer nonstop there is no reason to go down to Kenner unless it’s a huge difference in price.
I disagree 100%. Let me know how easy it is to get to BTR when shite hits the fan like a delay somewhere. Options are limited. I fly out of MSY because of the significant added flexibility.

When I see someone struggling to figure out how the security checkpoints work. How hard is it to get your shite into the bins and not hold Up a line while you figure out how to work a computer bag.
In all fairness, TSA could help with this by trying to be the least bit consistent in all airports. On one of my last trips, MIA wanted EVERYTHING in bins (even bags), and for some reason weren’t making anyone take their shoes off. Then DFW was no bags in bins, but laptops couldn’t be in a bin with anything else. It just seems like it’s up to whatever the agents, who only communicate in grunts, are feeling that day.

Leaning a seat back on any flight less than 3hrs.

I fly a decent amount. To the point where it is a part of my job.
Here are the top pet peeves, and I have many.
Carry on is too big. You can see these people coming a mile away. There is zero percent chance in hell that bag is going to fit yet you are going to try for 5 minutes and holding everyone else up.
People who want to move my stuff. If I have a small bag and a jacket folded up in overheard leave it the frick alone.
My priority bag not coming out first at baggage claim.
Security line. PSA, if you are about to walk through a medal detector, take off all the metal on your person. Yes that chain and all that bling is going to set the thing off. Yes your cell phone well set it off. I could go on.
Not closing your the window shade. especially when the sun is shining through. This is especially true in first class. If you sit in first class and don't close it you should have your first class privileges revoked.
